Apple sues Samsung for copying iPhone

April 21, 2011 by Yein Jee

Samsung Galaxy Tab and Apple iPadApple Inc is suing Korean manufacturer Samsung for copying their entire Galaxy product range from Apple’s iPhone, iPod and iPad designs.

In the lawsuit filed last Friday, Apple claimed that “When a Samsung Galaxy phone is used in public, there can be little doubt that it would be viewed as an Apple product based upon the design alone…”

I have to agree with Apple’s statement, Galaxy products do resemble Apple’s at first glance. However, it’s not necessary the case from a close look, and in a design copyright lawsuit every details matter instead of just a first impression.

Apple should know the facts well, so it’s probably just a business gimmick to halt the growth of Samsung Galaxy, one of its fiercest competitors (though still trailing far behind) in the smartphone and tablet computer markets.

[Update] Samsung is suing Apple for violating its patent rights in return lol.

Sony Ericsson Xperia arc commercial

January 7, 2011 by Yein Jee

Sony Ericsson has just launched a mobile phone for the Xperia range, the Sony Ericsson Xperia arc, with a super-slim and sleek design. Check out the commercial…

The brand has always relied on design and application instead of functionality for its market share. It worked in the 2G era but they are falling behind in the smartphone generation.

Sony are trying to integrate their gaming franchise (from PlayStation etc.) into its mobile business to keep a competitive edge. They will probably launch a handheld console and smartphone hybrid at some point.

Angry Birds on Android

June 22, 2010 by Yein Jee

Finnish game developer Rovio Mobile has released a sneak preview of popular game Angry Birds running on Motorola Droid/Milestone which uses the Android operation system. Angry Birds was first released on Apple’s iOS in December 2009 and is now one of the most popular mobile apps worldwide.

I learnt about the game using iPad (tablet computer) though, so it’s a bit odd to see the game being played on a smaller (mobile phone) screen. Addicting game btw.
