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. RĂ©mi 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.

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. Of course you have to put in mind that Nokia, LG and Samsung have wider range of sales than Apple including lots of mobile phones and smartphones. Apple is the only company that has one model on the market which is the iPhone. So, Apple still my number 1, what about you?
