  • So far, Apple has been having a hell of a time in the courthouse, and I might say, this is a good thing for them. However, this is bad for HTC, clearly. The ITC has ruled that 2 of the 10 patents Apple accused HTC of infringing on in Apple’s favor; in other words, HTC was found guilty. If everything plays well for Apple, we can expect particular devices manufactured by the Taiwanese company to be banned from reaching US shores. Good for Apple favoritism, bad for those who love HTC. HTC general counsel Grace Lei responded back quickly with the following statement: “HTC will vigorously fight these two remaining patents through an appeal...

  • Upon the release of the iPad,  both the first and second iterations, many websites and people themselves were calling the device a giant iPod Touch. Those people had legitimate reasoning: It ran a very similar operating system to the iPhone and iPod Touch, and really didn’t have a lot more functionality. But one thing it did have was a higher resolution display and a much more complex and intense SDK, the latter which really made use of the screen real-estate the iPad had (and of course, still has). Go into the App Store, and it’s almost guaranteed that you’ll find applications for the iPad that its smartphone counterpart doesn’t have, such as a Photoshop extension...

  • At Mobile World Congress, it was the Flyer. This entire year, it was the rumored HTC Verdi. Now, we can add another tablet to the list: the HTC Puccini. Pictured above, it is a 10″ Honeycomb tablet that will run on AT&T’s network, with a 4G antenna onboard. Although it is just a rumor currently, it may be out at the end of the year. Scribe, 4G, and the amazing HTC Sense UI will all be onboard, you can bet on that. Nicolas Wiggins Android Correspondent Source:

  • Qualcomm, the people behind the ever popular Snapdragon processor have developed a new platform. This platform is dedicated to high quality video play back through and on you Android device, with the new Qualcomm dual core processors and Adreno render engine 220.

And don’t forget, HTC partnered with OnLive to give you on-the-go gaming, with a large selection of games from almost every console ever created. Furthermore, the device will be updated to Honeycomb in the future, no idea how HTC is going to keep Sense intact, though. Just...
