Apple Wins Injunction Blocking Sale of Galaxy Tab 10.1 in Australia
The Sydney Morning Herald reports that an Australian court has granted Apple's request for an injunction blocking the sale of Samsung's Galaxy Tab 10.1 in that country, with the move apparently setting the stage for Samsung to cancel the device's release there entirely.
Justice Annabelle Bennett today said Apple had a prima facie case that Samsung had infringed two of its patents relating to touch screens and the gestures that control them.
Samsung had agreed several times to delay the Galaxy Tab 10.1 launch in Australia as the request for a preliminary injunction was considered, but noted last week that it would likely scrap the launch entirely if an injunction was granted. The injunction would essentially force the company to miss the holiday sales period and make the Galaxy Tab 10.1 relatively outdated by the time the injunction could be lifted through a full hearing on the matter.
In a statement, Samsung Electronics said it was disappointed with the ruling and would be seeking legal advice on its options.
"Samsung will continue its legal proceeding against Apple's claim in order to ensure our innovative products remain available to consumers," it said.
"This is a part of our ongoing legal proceeding against Apple's claim. Samsung is also confident it can prove Apple's violation of Samsung's wireless technology patents through a cross-claim filed on September 16, 2011 with the Federal Court of Australia, New South Wales.
Apple previously won an injunction blocking the sale of the Galaxy Tab in Germany, while a separate injunction targeting Samsung's smartphones in Europe had been set to go into effect tomorrow. Samsung has indicated, however, that it has addressed that issue by removing the infringing behavior of allowing users to swipe between photos.
Samsung to tweak Galaxy smartphones, dodge European sales ban
Samsung will upgrade its Galaxy S, Galaxy S II and Galaxy Ace smartphones in the Netherlands in an effort to get around an injunction that prevented its local subsidiaries from selling the devices. In August, a Dutch judge banned Samsung’s Netherlands-based companies from selling the aforementioned smartphones after ruling it guilty of infringing on Apple’s patents. However, the judge also said Samsung had until October 14th to make changes that would allow it to bring the phones to market. “We’ve fixed the technological problem and upgraded products to address the issue,” Samsung spokesperson James Chung told Reuters. “They will be shortly available for sale.” Samsung is locked in similar legal battles with Apple in the United States, France, Australia and Japan. |

What the upgrade procedure is actually:
1-backup of your iphone
2-reset to factory settings / wiping of everything
3-install of ios5
4-restore your backup
so really it's a fresh install. |
I think that's what my buddy said...start from a reset to factory settings then it'll install ios5 fresh (with no errors w the previous OS as it's from the beginning...)
Sure I'll back up the phone before I do anything but why should I reset the factory settings? John posted above everything should be working fine just with the update. (I think?)
Also LOL at iCrack.
Those Siri queries are hilarious! Reminiscent of "I feel lucky" from Google 10+ years ago. |

I hate iMap, fetching your mail every 15 mins whacked. I love EAS, Pushed LIVE as you receive them.

I just read that this feature would cost me $8.50/month from my domain provider (GoDaddy.com). Too much just so I don't have to set iMap not to check every 15min in my opinion. |

I think your confused Chris. Apple does all of this automatically.
Just plug your phone into itunes and let it do its magic and try not to think too hard. |

GoDaddy.com has a Exchange server? That's pretty rad, I wonder how stable it is.
Got my first international iMessage today from Hong Kong. |

Hey guys, I'm looking for your opinion in updating to iOS 5 on a 3GS now that we're past the Beta versions.
I read earlier that one of you updated the 3GS and that it sucked ... draining the battery in a few hours, for example.
Have any of you tried it since the official release of iOS 5? How did you like it?
The reason I'm so apprehensive is b/c I not sure if I want to ruin a perfectly good jailbreak only to find the 3GS is just not powerful enough to run the new OS adequately.
Your insight is appreciated! |
