In a makeshift legal game of monkey-see monkey-do, Samsung’s response to a multitude of Apple lawsuits alleging patent infringement has been to file countersuits in a number of jurisdictions and seek injunctions against various Apple products.

Update: Our apologies. In our haste we misread the blurb from Dan Hesse. The subsidy Sprint pays Apple is not $200 more than AT&T pays.

Comments Off on From the “Forbes puts this drivel on its website?” department
Following the iPhone 4S announcement, Forbes had a remarkably vapid article disparaging Apple’s next-gen iPhone up on its website. Due on October 14, this remarkably sucky, shoddy, sloppy, slapped together disaster of a phone will undoubtedly receive huge sales, endless attention, and a fair amount of praise from Apple loyalists. But if you own an […]

Comments Off on HD Video shot with the iPhone 4S is pretty, pretty, pretty good.
Benjamin Dowie decided to use his new iPhoen 4S to shot some footage as part of his surfing excursion. What he recorded is truly remarkable for a camera phone. And it sure as hell beats the Canon video camera I spent over $600 bucks on in 2008. It’s actually amazing. The automatic stabilisation seems to […]

Comments Off on Sprint calls the iPhone the most successful product launch in Sprint history
Sprint reportedly took a big gamble on the iPhone, with a report two weeks ago claiming that the nations’ third largest carrier committed to purchasing 30.5 million iPhones regardless of whether or not its consumer base proved to be iPhone hungry.
