21.04.2012 - Best iPhone 4 Cases Launches Unlimited 'Mobile to Any Mobile' Calling, Requires Unlimited Messaging

In what could be viewed as yet another bid by AT&T to keep customers from defecting to the Verizon Best iPhone 4 Cases, the carrier today announced that it will launch tomorrow a new "Mobile to Any Mobile" feature allowing unlimited calling from AT&T phones to other mobile phones in the U.S., regardless of carrier. 


The feature, which rolls out tomorrow, requires customers to be on a qualifying voice plan and to have an unlimited messaging plan, which costs $20 per month.

Beginning Thursday, Mobile to Any Mobile will be available to new and existing Gucci iPhone 4 case customers with a qualifying voice plan who subscribe to unlimited messaging plans. Existing customers with an unlimited messaging plan can activate Mobile to Any Mobile by visiting www.att.com/anymobile. The URL will be available beginning Thursday.

AT&T has been taking a series of steps to combat the threat posed by the Verizon Gucci iPhone 4S case, tweaking its tethering plans to offer more data capacity and touting its network's ability to handle simultaneous voice and data.

29.02.2012 - Apple unveiling iPad 3 next Wednesday in San Francisco

The Verge just reported that they received an invite from Apple for an iPad 3 introduction to be held at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco at 10am PST, on Wednesday, March 7. The news just rendered CNBC’s report obsolete and inaccurate as it called for a March unveiling of a quad-core iPad 3 in New York City. True to Apple’s trademark anticipation-rising style, the invitation graphics shows a closeup of an iPad display adorned with the tagline “We have something you really have to see. And touch.” (Louis Vuitton iPhone 4 Cases|Louis Vuitton iPhone 4S Cases)The invite graphics would appear to confirm long-standing rumors of an ultra high-resolution Retina Display (2048-by-1536 pixels) expected as the key selling point of the device. Also interesting is Apple’s choice of timing, announcing iPad 3 event right in the middle of Eric Schmidt’s keynote talk at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain.Gucci iPhone 4 cases|Gucci iPhone 4S cases|Gucci iPhone 4 case|Gucci iPhone 4S case

29.02.2012 - Sources: New Apple TV launching in March, near-immediate availability hinted for new iPads

iPads and Apple TVs work together for innovative AirPlay features

Reliable sources familiar with Apple’s upcoming product release have said that the company is in fact launching a new Apple TV alongside the next-generation iPad. We initially reported that Apple would be releasing two major new products in early March, and then believed the product would be a new Apple TV due to mounting code-based evidence for such a product with simultaneous supply constraints. Now, sources have outright said Apple is launching this J33 (the new Apple TV’s codename) alongside the new iPad.Louis Vuitton iPhone 4 Case|Louis Vuitton iPhone 4S Case

The new Apple TV is rumored to include a faster processor, possibly a variation of the dual-core A5 chip. The dual-core A5 chip has been said to be required for the Apple TV to finally stream 1080p quality video, but Apple is also working on an “A5X” chip that is dual-core, which also includes an improved graphics engine. Those two components of the chip would likely deliver the smooth video playback that Apple would include in such a product. Other possibilities from the rumor-mill include a redesigned Bluetooth 4.0 remote control, and Siri support, but those are not rumors that we can independently confirm (yet). This new Apple TV would seemingly launch with a new 1080P movie service from Apple’s iTunes Store. Read on for more…Burberry iPhone 4 Cases|Burberry iPhone 4S Cases

 

Sources are also saying that Apple will in fact launch at least three next-generation iPad variants in March. These sources backup our previous reports and say these new iPads are called J1, J2, and J2a internally. The J1 and J2 code names have long been tied to Retina Display iPad reports from Asia, so these code names add another layer of confirmation to new the iPad carrying a Retina Display. In our report on a number of next-generation iPad-related rumors, we noted that pre-sales would begin on March 7th (likely event day) or just a few days later. Sources are now saying that next-generation iPad shipments are already landing at ports of multiple countries around the world, so expect near-immediate availability. That does not mean you can buy one on event day, but likely within one to two weeks after the announcement.

This J1 iPad is likely the WiFI-only model, and the J2 and J2a are likely different cellular-data-enabled versions. GSM/CDMA/LTE have all been rumored cellular-date types for the new iPad, so those two J2 models are likely some technical combination of the three.Hermes iPhone 4 Cases|Hermes iPhone 4S Cases

Interestingly we’re hearing whispers that the J1 may only come in one color – at least at launch. iPads currently ship in either black and white, so this seems very strange to us. There will also be three capacities of each model, but we can’t  be sure of the sizes. iPads currently come in 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB capacities, but with Apple recently bumping the iPhone to 64GB for the first time (just last year), it wouldn’t be a stretch to see Apple move to a high end 128GB offering for their tablets.

We’re also hearing of a mystery accessory that will launch alongside the new iPads and Apple TV. We’re not sure what it is, but it’s called “B82″ internally. The product is likely some accessory, probably ranging from either a cable, cover, or new audio remote. The new Apple TV will include Bluetooth 4.0 capability, so perhaps Apple will ship an improved remote to that takes advantage of that next-generation Bluetooth protocol. We’ve got part numbers for all of these new products below. Thanks, Mr. X!

29.02.2012 - Report: Apple working on high-fidelity iTunes audio with adaptive streaming

The Guardian reports that Apple is working on a new high-definition audio format to adapt to bandwidth or hardware capabilities. Presumably, Apple will leverage the new format to distribute high-fidelity music through iTunes and perhaps upgrade the iTunes Match service that currently provides matched songs in 256Kbps AAC format.Louis Vuitton iPhone 4 Cases|Louis Vuitton iPhone 4S Cases

It is believed the new audio format would intelligently adjust itself to the bandwidth and storage available on the receiving device. Such a description also gives hope that an iTunes music streaming service, which is akin to Spotify and based on Apple’s Lala acquisition, could be in the works.

According to “a source with inside knowledge of the process,” the Cupertino, Calif.-based company is working with a London studio to prep existing audio files for the new format. An anonymous source told the paper:Coach iPhone 4 Case |Coach iPhone 4S Case 

All of a sudden, all your audio from iTunes is in HD rather than AAC. Users wouldn’t have to touch a thing – their library will improve in an instant.

Apple’s annual iPod refresh that usually takes place in fall could be a fitting venue to announce the new high-fidelity format. Another possibility is the forthcoming iPad 3 event rumored to take place March 7.Hello Kitty iPhone 4S Case|Hello Kitty iPhone 4 Case

You will remember that Apple recently rolled outiTunes Match in Japan and enabled the newMastered for iTunes section in the iTunes Store populated with albums “specially tuned for higher fidelity sound.” Ars Technica explained in its trademark exhaustive style that “higher-fidelity sound” means 96kHz audio samples in 24-bit precision—a huge improvement in sound quality compared to CDs containing digital audio mixed down to 16-bit precision and sampled at 44.1KHz.According to Apple, keeping highest-quality masters on iTunes servers is a bulletproof way of improving audio quality on iTunes as soon as technology and Internet bandwidth catch up. Eagle-eyed readers could also point to a Neil Young interviewrevealing Steve Jobs was working on a high-fidelity music service because he wanted to bring the richness of the vinyl sound to digital tracks.

29.02.2012 - HowTo: Throttle AT&T for throttling your ¡®unlimited¡¯ data in 5 steps

By popular demand, MacTech provides a primer on taking AT&T to small claims court provided by attorney Bradley Sniderman.  Recently a plaintiff in Los Angeles CA won a $850 settlement and per AT&T’s EULA, class action lawsuits are not possible so this might be your only means of exacting revenge on your limited unlimited plans.  Excerpted:Louis Vuitton iPhone 4 Cases|Louis Vuitton iPhone 4S Cases

 

1) Where to file — most lawsuits, even those from small claims, need to be filed in the jurisdiction where the defendant can be found. In this case (and let’s use AT&T), AT&T may have corporate offices in only a few locations, but since they are a nationwide phone company, they are usually subject to jurisdiction anywhere. What this means is that you can file your small claims suit in the courthouse most convenient to you.

2) Make sure you have a copy of your contract, and please review the entire agreement. It may be a slow read, but you need to know the terms of it. You may be able to use these terms to show that AT&T does not have the right to slow your data speed.Designer iPad 2 Cases|Louis Vuitton iPad 2 Case

3) You need to be able to show that you have an unlimited data plan, which means you are entitled to unlimited data. You need to also show proof that AT&T had limited your data streaming. You next have to argue that AT&T has no right to charge you a fee for unlimited data, and then not supply it. It is not your fault that AT&T can’t keep up with demand for data. If you can even show that you are using less data that some of the fixed rate plans, such as the 3 gigabyte plans, that is even better (fixed plans using more data than you use, but they are not being throttled back). Make sure you have been paying your bill on time and that you are not late, since that could be used against you.Chanel iPad 2 Case|Gucci iPad 2 Case

4) Make sure you have an amount for damages. You need to show how you were damaged by not having data streaming. This could be by showing lost business opportunities or showing how much you have paid for the service you never got.

5) Be polite, and make sure you are prepared. The court will listen to you, but if you don’t know what you are talking about, then your argument gets lost.

Read the whole thing here if you are planning to do this. Perhaps if enough people take AT&T to court, they will raise, and/or perhaps publish, their throttling speeds to something usable.

29.02.2012 - Motorola takes jab at Apple with Android Voice Actions vs. Siri comparison

Handset maker Motorola Mobility may have found itself in an uneasy place as both Microsoft and Apple are attempting to block its $12.billion sale to Google, but the company’s marketing department is as vigorous as ever. With this week’s spotlight on the latest mobile developments showcased at Mobile World Congress 2012 in Barcelona, Spain, the Razr-maker published three provocative clips on its YouTube channel.Designer iPhone 4 Case|Designer iPhone 4S Case

The videos pit the iPhone 4S-exclusive Siri feature against Android Voice Actions running on three different handsets: The Atrix 2, Photon 4G and Electrify. In each instance, Siri runs notably slower (and therefore less useful) than Android Voice Actions on Motorola’s devices.

Both Android Voice Actions and Siri need a network connection to upload audio samples of spoken queries. The cloud does the rest–speech recognition, parsing your query and beaming down the results.Coach iPhone 4 Case|Coach iPhone 4S Case

Two more clips are right below.Louis Vuitton iPhone 4 Case|Louis Vuitton iPhone 4S Case

Android Voice Actions for calling, texting, navigation and more debuted in August 2010 and are supported on Android 2.2 onwards through the Voice Search app. Siri, Apple’s AI acquisition, is deeply integrated as a core iOS feature of iPhone 4S. As for hardware differences, Motorola launched the Photon 4G last summer and debuted it on the Sprint network as its first 4G device. A dual-core 1GHz Tegra 2 chip from Nvidia powers it. Apple’s iPhone 4S was introduced on Oct. 4, 2011, and it runs the Apple-designed A5 chip packing in two processing Cortex-A9 cores clocked at an estimated 800MHz each. Apple licensed these cores from fables semiconductor maker ARM Holdings based in the United Kingdom— same as Nvidia with its Tegra 2 chip found inside Motorola’s device.

29.02.2012 - Rumor: iPad 3 to employ a $70 to $80 price hike?

.

MacRumors points to a single Sina Weibo user who posted what is purported to be iPad 3 cost premiums over the iPad 2s now on the market (above). If true (and it seems a stretch at this point that Chinese locals would have U.S. prices), it would be the first time Apple has deviated from its original price matrix.Hermes iPhone 4 Case|Hermes iPhone 4S Case|Burberry iPhone 4 Case|Burberry iPhone 4S Case

There is talk about Apple keeping its iPad 2s in circulation at a reduced cost, thereby making another tier of product. Best Buy is currently selling iPad 2s for $50 off across the board for instance, and there are several sales on specific iPad models with increasing frequency. Apple charges $419 currently for an iPad 2 refurb.Chanel iPhone 4 Case|Chanel iPhone 4S Case|Gucci iPhone 4 Case|Gucci iPhone 4S Case

20.02.2012 - Actual iPad 3 production display placed under microscope, Retina Display confirmed

 

Macrumors claimed to have obtained one of the screens floating around on the Internet from iPad 3 production. Putting it under a microscope, the publication indeed discovered it has 4 times the pixels as an iPad 2 or double the horizontal and double the vertical, which yields 2,048-by-1,536 pixels.Hermes iPhone 4 Case|Hermes iPhone 4S Case|Chanel iPhone 4 Case|Chanel iPhone 4S Case

Physically, the purported iPad 3 display is the same size as the current iPad 1 and iPad 2 display at 9.7″ in diagonal, and looks quite similar to the naked eye.

 

However, when comparing the iPad 3 display to one from an iPad 2 under a microscope, the difference in resolutions becomes readily apparent, with the iPad 3 display’s pixels appearing to be one-quarter the size of those on the iPad 2.

Gucci iPhone 4 Case|Gucci iPhone 4S Case|Burberry iPhone 4 Case|Burberry iPhone 4S Case

We are just a few weeks away from the anticipated March 7 announcement. While the Retina display was expected for some time, there might still be some surprises.

20.02.2012 - Bloomberg: FLA is finding ¡®tons of issues¡¯ at Apple supplier plants

 

Despite reports from Reuters earlier this week profiling Fair Labor Association CEO Auret van Heerden’s positive reaction to the early inspections of Apple’s suppliers in Shenzhen, China, Bloombergannounced today van Heerden’s comments actually “reflected his previous interactions with Foxconn.” In contrast to Reuters original article, during a phone interview with Bloomberg, van Heerden said, “We’re finding tons of issues.”:Designer iPhone 4 Case|Designer iPhone 4S Case

“We’re finding tons of issues. I believe we’re going to see some very significant announcements in the near future.”

Bloomberg explained van Heerden’s initial comments to Reuters, where he claimed iPad plants are “far better” than most other factories in the country, were based upon his reflections from earlier experiences with Foxconn and Apple:Coach iPhone 4 Case|Coach iPhone 4S Case|

Van Heerden said the comments reflected his previous interactions with Foxconn… Apple had commissioned the FLA to carry out smaller projects in the past two years, in order to try out some of the inspection techniques used by the group to more effectively root out workplace problems.

The FLA will report its findings in the coming weeks and publish them to its website. As for the inspection process currently taking place at Foxconn, Bloomberg detailed the process from van Heerden’s perspective:Louis Vuitton iPhone 4 Case|Louis Vuitton iPhone 4S Case

Van Heerden said that FLA’s 30-person inspection team will interview 35,000 Foxconn employees, via meetings with small groups of randomly picked workers, chosen to reflect the demographics of the campus in terms of age, gender and skill levels. As part of the process, workers log answers to questions on tablets connected to FLA servers so they can be tabulated.

20.02.2012 - MLB at Bat ¡¯12 available for free on App Store Feb. 29 with $119 subscription

 

Pitchers and Catchers are set to report over the next few days and MLB is getting its 2012 App ready

Baseball fans will be happy to hear that Major League Baseball is again bringing the MLB at Bat app back to the App Store so they can enjoy every game throughout the season on their iOS device. In previous years, the MLB at Bat app on the App Store made available audio of the games and in-game statistics. A premium package could open video for all games. This year, MLB is changing the way they bring you games.Louis Vuitton iPhone 4 Case|Louis Vuitton iPhone 4S Case

Luckily for this season, MLB confirmed with EverythingiCafe that MLB at Bat ’12 would be available for free on the App Store for both the iPhone and iPad— as long as you pay for the one time subscription. The app will stream both audio and video and bring in-game stats.

MLB at Bat ’12 will be available Feb. 29 for free. However, if you want to use the app, you will have to pay a once-a-year $119 subscription as a returning customer or $125 as a new customer. Those who subscribe can view 150 Spring Training games and all 2,430 regular season games, though some are subject black outs. You can now sign up for the MLB.TV season on the MLB website. The first game will stream March 3.Burberry iPad 2 Case|Swarovski Crystal Cases|Louis Vuitton iPhone 5 Case|Best iPhone 4S Case

What does it mean when a game is blacked out? Well, that is when a team is playing in a local viewing area or they are playing out-of-town. Blacked out games are available in the MLB at Bat archives just 90 minutes after the game finishes, but MLB at Bat does have special streaming agreements with certain areas that are frustrating for viewers whose local teams must obey the terms.

Last year, each app for MLB at Bat cost $14.99 along with a $100 subscription which makes this year’s a little more expensive. If you plan to get both the iPhone and iPad app, this year’s plan is cheaper by $5 for new customers and $10 for existing customers.

MLB games can also stream from an Apple TV with the $124.99-a-year premium plan. NBA also has streaming capability on the Apple TV with a $40 iOS app so you can watch all the games, including post-game wrap-ups.

For any baseball fan, this is definitely a much-needed app. Its ability to bring in-game stats and video to almost any platform (including Android, BlackBerry, and web) is worth the price tag.

20.02.2012 - Apple grants ABC access to its Chinese supply chain, report to air February 21st

 

The most mainstream technology company-related controversy within the past few weeks is most likely the issue of Chinese supplier-working conditions. In January, the New York Times published a lengthy and controversial report about the supposed conditions in these supplier factories. The report claimed to source its information from former Apple executives, and it paints Apple and its suppliers in a horrible light. As we exclusively revealed, Apple CEO Tim Cook responded to the Times’ report and said, “We care about every worker in our worldwide supply chain. Any accident is deeply troubling, and any issue with working conditions is cause for concern.”Louis Vuitton iPhone 4 Case|Louis Vuitton iPhone 4S Case

Apple and Cook went even further and opened Apple’s supply chain to a full review by the Fair Labor Association. Cook recently spoke about Apple’s supply chain safety efforts at the Goldman Sach’s conference earlier this week. Now, in an unprecedented move, Apple granted ABC Nightline full access to its Chinese supply chain. ABC’s Bill Weir traveled to Shenzhen, China for an exclusive look inside Apple’s supply chain, and ABC provided the following quote from Weir about his trip:Designer iPad 2 Case|Louis Vuitton iPad 2 Case|Chanel iPad 2 Case|Gucci iPad 2 Case

For years, Apple and Foxconn have been synonymous with monster profits and total secrecy so it was fascinating to wander the iphone and iPod production lines, meet the people who build them and see how they live. Our cameras were rolling when thousands of hopeful applicants rushed the Foxconn gates and I spoke with dozens of line workers and a top executive about everything from hours and pay to the controversies over suicides at the plant and the infamous “jumper nets” that line the factories in Shenzhen. After this trip, I’ll never see an Apple product the same way again.

ABC decided to spread its coverage across Good Morning America,” “World News with Diane Sawyer,” “ABCNews.com,” “ABC News Radio,” and ABC Newsone.” The first look inside Apple’s factories will show on “ABC Nightline” Tuesday, Feb. 21 at 11:35 p.m. EST.

ABC’s parent is Disney Corporation whose CEO, Bob Iger, sits on Apple’s Board. Former Apple CEO Steve Jobs and now his family are the biggest individual shareholders of Disney.

20.02.2012 - iPhone 4 ¡®Antenna-gate¡¯ settlement reached, puts problem to bed for $15/owner

 

CNET reported that Apple settled 18 suits bundled as a Class-action lawsuit over the “Antennagate” “scandal.”  Each iPhone 4 owner (it is not clear if Verizon iPhone 4 users who had different radios/Antenna are exempt) is entitled to a $15 cash settlement or a bumper. Apple began offering bumpers to users shortly after the release and the subsequent press conference to address the issue (as well as returns, no restocking fee or questions asked).

The settlement found:Louis Vuitton iPhone 4 Case|Louis Vuitton iPhone 4S Case

Apple was “misrepresenting and concealing material information in the marketing, advertising, sale, and servicing of its iPhone 4–particularly as it relates to the quality of the mobile phone antenna and reception and related software.”

 

The settlement has its own Web site, www.iPhone4Settlement.com, which will be up in the coming weeks (the site doesn’t go anywhere right now). There, customers will be able to get information about the settlement and how to make a claim. As part of the arrangement, e-mails will also be sent alerting original buyers to the settlement before April 30, 2012. The claims period is then open for 120 days.

“We believe that the Apple iPhone 4 settlement is fair, adequate, and reasonable,” said co-lead counsel Ira Rothken, who represents the class, to CNET. “We believe that it allows members of the class to choose, and they can get $15 of cash or a bumper, so we believe that type of choice is proportional to the circumstances.”

Consumer Reports, who could not recommend the iPhone 4 based on the problem, demonstrated above, said the iPhone 4S was free of this issue.

Apple still sells the iPhone 4 with what we believe is the same design as the one used above, so it is not certain how this settlement will affect those sales.

Update: Statement from Apple via the Loop:Coach iPhone 4 Case |Coach iPhone 4S Case |Hello Kitty iPhone 4S Covers|Hello Kitty iPhone 4 Covers

“This settlement relates to a small number of customers who indicated that they experienced antenna or reception issues with their iPhone 4 and didn’t want to take advantage of a free case from Apple while it was being offered in 2010,”

20.02.2012 - Analyst arrested for leaking iPhone sales numbers, charged with insider trading

 

Analyst John Kinnucan is charged with two counts of securities fraud, two counts of conspiracy, and insider trading for leaking sales numbers from Apple, reported Reuters. The lawsuits against the analyst were filed in a U.S. District Court in Manhattan, and he was arrested on Thursday.

Kinnucan received tips from Apple’s suppliers SanDisk and Flextronics so he could leak sales numbers and forecasts to hedge funds. One SanDisk executive, Don Barnetson, is also in court on counts for insider trading. Kinnucan leaked the secret information about the iPhone’s sales between 2008 and 2010, and he would get the information by bribing suppliers. He is rumored to have earned $1.58 million for leaking Apple’s trade secrets.Louis Vuitton iPhone 4 Case|Louis Vuitton iPhone 4S Case

Between 2008 and 2010, investigators said, Kinnucan paid insiders with cash, trips and other benefits to get secret information, including sales trends for Apple Inc’s iPhone. Kinnucan then funneled the information to hedge fund traders in California and New York in exchange for hundreds of thousands of dollars, investigators said.

Kinnucan’s arrest is part of a bigger crack down on insider trading within hedge funds. Over 60 people were already arrested during the operation, dubbed “Operation Perfect Hedge,” including a Flextronics executive for leaking iPhone sales numbers.

Kinnucan is currently in police custody until another hearing on Wednesday.Gucci iPhone 4 cases|Gucci iPhone 4S cases|Gucci iPhone 4 case|Gucci iPhone 4S case

In 2010, the SEC launched an investigation at Apple’s supply chains to investigate whether the analyst obtained information properly.

“Insider trading basically comes down to where you know or ought to know that the person from whom you’re getting this information has a duty to someone else to keep it confidential,” said former Securities and Exchange Commission Paul Atkins in a video interview with The Wall Street Journal. “If you go in and pay the mail clerk to give you special information, that’s not proper.”

Apple Daily, a Hong Kong publication today has images of what they say is the next iPad compared to iPad 1 and 2.  You’ll notice increased tapering and a bigger camera lens.  The publication says that the camera is a whopping 8 megapixels which would likely mean that it is the same Sony camera in the iPhone 4S that CEO Howard Stinger first leaked in April of last year.Designer iPhone 4 Cases|Designer iPhone 4S Cases|Designer iPhone 4 Case|Designer iPhone 4S Case

The app is a free photo-manipulator that allows users to snap pictures, apply hip vintage filters, and then share their edited images through a built-in social network. Users can also share their creations through other services, such as Twitter, Facebook, or Tumblr.

The newest version allots a much-needed facelift and provides a more modern appearance than the previous variant by displaying an overhauled header and menu buttons (as seen in the screenshot to the right).

“We’ve simplified the look of Instagram,” announced the San Francisco-based Company in a blog post.

More screenshots are availablebelow.

The simplified service does not stop with a revamped look, however. The notification upgrade in the iOS Notification Center now brings users directly to an image, comment, or profile within the app. The company said these improved tweaks are the “first steps toward” making Instagram more interactive and understandable.

The Sierra filter also makes version 2.1 noteworthy. The element powerfully pops the yellow saturation of an image to create a warm 1970s feel while adding an eggshell-colored square border. Meanwhile, the Lux enhancement feature amplifies dull details by brightening any under-lit photograph. The app developer even provided a blog post to users interested in knowing more about Lux and how it functions.

Instagram version 2.1 is a free update and available now at the App Store.  Oh, and in related news, the girlfriend of Instagram cofounder Mike Krieger recently unveiled Lovestagram— a Valentine’s Day-themed spinoff. The website uses Instagram photographs to create personal valentines for loved ones. Users can sign into their Instagram accounts through Lovestagram to start editing something special before the Cupid holiday occurs.

Anyway, back to those Instagram screenshots:

11.02.2012 - Apple sues Motorola in the U.S. over Qualcomm patent license

 

Apple, today, has filed a lawsuit against Motorola over their use of Qualcomm technology, asreported by Reuters. Apple explains that Motorola has breached a contract pertaining to their use of a patent license and “asks this Court to enjoin Motorola from prosecuting and 4 enforcing its claims against Apple in Germany.”

Specifically, Apple is suing Motorola over their claims that Apple is illegally using Qualcomm’s baseband chip. In its lawsuit, Apple asks the court to ban Motorola from being able to sue Apple over Apple’s use of Qualcomm’s technology:Louis Vuitton iPhone 4 Cases|Louis Vuitton iPhone 4S Cases

Permanent injunctive relief restraining Motorola and its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, agents, employees, servants, licensors, successors, assigns, and all those acting in concert with them, from prosecuting patent infringement proceedings against Apple based on Apple’s use of the Qualcomm MDM6610 chip and other Qualcomm components licensed under Motorola patents in any forum other than this Court

The root of the lawsuit is essentially Apple’s strike-back at Motorola for attempting to stop sales of Apple’s 3G products in Germany. The lawsuit’s referencing of Qualcomm’s chips is a nod to the iPhone 4S, which uses a Qualcomm baseband chip, not being removed for that short amount of time when Apple won a temporary injunction of Apple’s 3G products in Germany.Chanel iPhone 4 Cases|Chanel iPhone 4S Cases|Chanel iPhone 4 Case|Chanel iPhone 4S Case

11.02.2012 - Apple to meld MacBook Pros into Air lineup this year?

 

We told you in November that Apple had prototypes of an unreleased 15-inch MacBook Airfloating around its Cupertino, Calif.-based headquarters. While it is in many ways similar to the 11- and 13-inch MacBook Air designs currently on the market, the prospect of a 15-inch Air left the future of Apple’s MacBook Pro lineup in question.Louis Vuitton iPhone 4 Case|Louis Vuitton iPhone 4S Case

We followed reports from iLounge in February 2011 that indicated Apple was working on a new MacBook Pro lineup for a 2012 launch described as a “milestone” for the product line. Now,AppleInsider is claiming the technology giant will launch a revamped Air-like MacBook Pros sometime this year…

There is nothing new in AppleInsider’s report, which debuted almost a year after the first report surfaced, but here it goes:Gucci iPhone 4 cases|Gucci iPhone 4S cases|Gucci iPhone 4 case|Gucci iPhone 4S case

…people familiar with Apple’s roadmap say the Cupertino-based company currently plans to exit 2012 having completed a top-to-bottom revamp of its notebooks lineup that will see new MacBook Pros adopt the same design traits that have made its MacBook Airs an increasingly popular choice among mobile consumers…Meanwhile, existing MacBook Pro designs are expected to be phased out over the course of the year.

When it comes to Apple’s current 17-inch MacBook Pro model, AppleInsider said Apple would first release an all-new 15-inch MacBook Pro with a 17-inch variant in the months following. The report also said Apple will discontinue its current MacBook Pro designs within a year. However, the report is unclear on whether the new product will market as a next-generation MacBook Pro.
