Apple Sues Motorola Over Multitouch on its Android Smartphones

Remember when Motoral sued Apple earlier this month? Apple did the same, they area hitting each other now! Apple has recently filed two lawsuits against Motorola over six patents filed by Apple relating to Multi-Touch on nearly all its Android phones -- basically everything up to and including the Droid X.

Patently Apple has expertly summed it all up in the followed text:

One: Apple, Inc patent titled: Ellipse Fitting for Multi-Touch Surfaces: Patent Abstract: Apparatus and methods are disclosed for simultaneously tracking multiple finger and palm contacts as hands approach, touch, and slide across a proximity-sensing, multi-touch surface. Identification and classification of intuitive hand configurations and motions enables unprecedented integration of typing, resting, pointing, scrolling, 3D manipulation, and handwriting into a versatile, ergonomic computer input device.

Two: Apple, Inc patent titled: Multipoint Touchscreen: Patent Abstract: A touch panel having a transparent capacitive sensing medium configured to detect multiple touches or near touches that occur at the same time and at distinct locations in the plane of the touch panel and to produce distinct signals representative of the location of the touches on the plane of the touch panel for each of the multiple touches is disclosed.

Three: Taligent, Inc patent titled: Object-Oriented System Locator System: Patent Abstract: A method and system for adding system components (documents, tools, fonts, libraries, etc.) to a computer system without running an installation program. A location framework is employed to locate system components whose properties match those specified in search criteria. The framework receives notification from the system when system components whose properties match the search criteria are added to or removed from the system.

Four: Apple, Inc, patent titled: Touch Screen Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Determining Commands by Applying Heuristics: Apple’s invention generally relates to electronic devices with touch screen displays, and more particularly, to electronic devices that apply heuristics to detected user gestures on a touch screen display to determine commands.

Five: Apple Computer, Inc. patent titled: Method and Apparatus for Displaying and Accessing Control and Status Information in a Computer System: Apple’s invention generally relates to the field of computer systems; particularly, the present invention relates to displaying a status and control function bar or window to enable access of user selected indicia to a computer system user.

Six: Apple Computer, Inc. patent titled: Support for Custom User-Interaction Elements in a Graphical, Event-Driven Computer System: Apple’s invention relates to graphical, event-driven computer systems, more particularly to custom interactive user-interaction elements in a computer system having a window-based graphical user interface.

58-inch Table Connect Interfaces with the iPhone

Some guys are working on a new project called Table Connect to bring the iPhone's interface and multitouch capabilities to a 58-inch table (yes, a 58-inch table!). You will be able to connect your iPhone into this table using a special cable so you can use your iPhone touch screen on a screen of 58-inches, imagine it!

Here's what the guys over iPhoneTable says:

We are about to put the final touches on the "iPhone Table" prototype. Table Connect for iPhone is what you have been waiting for, multitouch on steroids!

For now, we start with mock-ups as well. Currently, we are finishing up the work on the alpha release software for the table.

The iPhone is attached via the standard dock connector – immediately after it is attached, the magic starts to happen. The entire content of the iPhone’s screen will be projected onto the multitouch table, still giving full access to all the touch gestures using multitouch technology.

So, the project is currently under development and will be demoed in two days. Stay tuned for the demo and the announcement of this wonderful table. For me, I will get a one, what about you? [via iPhoneitalia]

 

VLC for iOS May be Pulled from the App Store

VLC, the popular meida player that's developed by French 3rd party studio Applidium, has landed on the iPad in September and then on the iPhone last week to play almost any video. But as noticed by iLounge, it may be pulled from the app store very soon for some reasons explained below.

Apple has been sent a formal notification of copyright infringement regarding the way VLC for iOS is distributed in the App Store. Rémi Denis-Courmont, one of the primary developers of VLC, explained that Apple’s iTunes Terms and Conditions don't allow users to install both free and paid apps on more than 5 devices. This goes against the original GNU license VLC's code is based on.

In any case, while the rules for distribution of open-source or "free" (as in speech) software are extremely relaxed, they do exist and have to be abode by. VLC and open-source software in general would not have reached their current quality and success if it had not been for their license. Therefore, blatant license violation cannot be tolerated at any rate. Concerned users are advised to look for application on more open mobile platforms for the time being.

So, in case you don't have the app already on your iPhone, better get it now as it still available here for free.

 

Unlock Baseband 05.14.02 is Just a Day After iOS 4.2 is Public

Here's some good news for all people over there waiting for baseband 05.14.02 unlock on iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS. Few days ago, MuscleNerd the iPhone hacker of the iPhone Dev Team has replied a user asking him about iPhone 3GS unlock on iOS 4.1. the reply will satisfy you a lot.

Here's what MuscleNerd tweeted in reply to the guy:

MuscleNerd: if you’re on 3G or 3GS, just a day or 2 at most after 4.2 is public (just enough time to verify stuff)

This reply brings both bad and good news, why? because he didn't mention anything about iPhone 4 baseband 02.10.04, this may indicates that iPhone 4 unlock may be delayed and not released at this time.

iOS 4.2 should be released early in November (this is very near). To sum it all up, iPhone 3GS and iPhone 3G on baseband 05.14.02 will get the unlock early in November. Stay tuned as we will keep you informed whenever iOS 4.2 is available and followed by the unlock.

UPDATE 1: iOS 4.2 is about to be released as Apple has just confirmed the release date of iOS 4.2 to be launched today in a new press release, check it here. Anyway, the unlock (as promised) will be tomorrow at most as the above post confirms.

 

Apple Passes RIM and Becomes the 4th Mobile Vendor in the World

The latest statistics from the International Data Corporation (IDC) in the Q3 this year shows that Apple bypass RIM and take over the fourth spot on their list of global mobile phone vendors, thanks to the great success of sales of iPhone 4 in the last few months.

The reports shows that Apple has shipped 14.1 million by the end of the third quarter of 2010. Of course Nokia tops the sales with 110.4 million shipments followed by Samsung and LG.

The Banned White iPhone 4 Promo Video [Humor]

We all knew that Apple has delayed white iPhone 4 for three times, first when it announced it in July, then in August till later this year and from about two days until spring 2011. We also got some reports that it was canceled by Apple. So, while waiting for a 'white iPhone 5', let's have some fun with a banned white iPhone 4 promo video.

If you waited for the white iPhone, you’re an idiot. You’re a stupid human being who has waited 5 months for a phone that’s a different color. That you’re just gonna put a cover on anyway. So you’re a fool. In fact, why don’t you go get an EVO or something? Or a Droid. 2. They apparently does.

 

Google's Gingerbread based device Nexus Two Reveals itself [Picture]

Google's Nexus one was already a hit mobile around everywhere and there it is the what so called "Nexus Two" the long rumored phone. There were lots of rumors about this phones from the last few weeks and we have the picture of it, that how it looks. Google has choose Samsung to build this phone not HTC.there might be a reason behind it?

This phone was first revealed by Gizmodo as when they saw this device there reaction was something like:

"When I first saw it from 10 feet away, I thought it was the Galaxy S," says our source, who got to handle one. "I was a little surprised it was the Nexus Two," because it’s so different from the Nexus One.

We have some of the data about its design and a little bit about its specs, as Gizmodo is also not to sure about it's specs. Basically it's Black and shiny, built with glossy plastic. It have the same 4 Inch AMOLED Touch Screen same as the other Samsung Galaxy S devices. But this phones looks thinner than Galaxy S phones. It also have a Front facing camera, and hopefully this phone will feature Android 2.3/3.0 (Gingerbread). It's front face camera which will become more useful when Google creates a new software same as "Apple's Facetime" maybe something like Google talk.

This phone might be a good challenge for iPhone 4. After we've got the full specs of this phone then we'll know if this is better than iPhone 4 or not.

The release date of Nexus Two is not confirmed yet,but it's said to be released in a press conference by Google and Samsung on 8th November in New York City. [via Gizmodo]

Security Hole in iOS 4.1 Means iOS 4.1.1 Coming Soon, Save Your SHSH Blobs NOW [Update]

If you are one of our readers, you may know that there's a major security hole in iOS 4.1 (and iOS 4.2 beta too) allows to you to bypass your lock code and make phone calls even when phone is locked. We already tried it on jailbroken and non-jailbroken devices and it works like a charm! You can give it a try.

This lockscreen security flaw makes it very possible that iOS 4.1.1 coming very soon as Apple likes to close any security holes, real quick. But, they won't fix only this lockscreen security flaw, they will also close the untethered hacks from comex merged in Limera1n and GreenPois0n jailbreak. The Limera1n and GreenPois0n will still allow jailbreaking, but we would have to re-jailbreak, every time the device is rebooted.

So, if you want really to keep your current jailbreak safe and untethered, so it'd be better not to update to the new iOS 4.1.1 and save your SHSH blobs now. We already have full step by step guide posted here to save your SHSH blobs using the popular must have tool TinyUmbrella. Stay tuned as we will inform you when the new update is available.

Update:  Apple spokeswoman contacted Wired.com mentioning the security flaw :

We’re aware of this issue and we will deliver a fix to customers as part of the iOS 4.2 software update in November.

We can conclude from this that Apple will not release version called iOS 4.1.1

Firefox Extension Can Hack Your Facebook and Twitter On Any Unsecured WiFi Network

At a Cafe? Connected to an unsecured Wi-Fi network? Now, anyone can gain access to all of your social network login information whenever you connected to an unsecured Wi-Fi network. Guess what? Your Twitter or Facebook account can be hacked using a Firefox extension!

ReadWriteWeb points to his new Firefox extension which is called Firesheep and developed by Eric Butler. Here's Bulter explains how it works on his blog:

On an open wireless network, cookies are basically shouted through the air, making these attacks extremely easy

Firesheep opens a sidebar in Firefox that shows everyone who is connected to a certain unsecured WiFi network. With a single click, you can connect to most any social network using that person's user name and password.

For anyone who complains about this, TechCrunch pointed to Force-TLS as a way to protect your information from FireSheep but Bulter answers the following:

Websites have a responsibility to protect the people who depend on their services

They've been ignoring this responsibility for too long, and it's time for everyone to demand a more secure web. My hope is that Firesheep will help the users win.
