Motorola wants 2.25 percent of Apple sales, in exchange for patent license

On February 6, 2012, In Apple, Gadgets, Technology, by EmelyTwellow

New details have emerged about the ongoing Apple-Motorola drama in Germany, courtesy of a court document uncovered by FOSS Patents . The two companies have been engaged in a patent battle of swelling proportion these past few months, with the most recent wrinkle unfolding on Friday, when Apple promptly removed (and returned) its 3G / UMTS-enabled iPads and iPhone 4s from its online German store, in response to a court ruling. At issue in this particular case is a Motorola patent that Apple wants to use under FRAND obligations, but Moto apparently isn’t willing to license its technology for free

On February 3, 2012, In Gadgets, News, Technology, Uncategorized, by JohnHickman

Smartphones outsold PCs and tablets combined, says research company – but netbooks have had their day as sales fall by 25% year-on-year Stick a fork in it: the netbook is done, with sales falling by 25% in the past year while smartphones and tablets are invading the computing space, according to new figures from the research company Canalys.

Netbook shipments in particular fell from 39.4m in 2010 to 29.4m in 2011, a 25% fall, as the total number of tablets shipped rose almost threefold from 23m to 63m by Canalys’s calculations.
