News of the Samsung and Apple legal battle seems to be making weekly headlines. It started when Apple accused Samsung of “slavishly copying” its mobile designs (i.e. iPhone, iPad) and having no innovative products of its own. Samsung fired back by suing Apple for wireless patent infringements. Last week, we learned that Apple sued Samsung…
Most Nokia news these days surrounds its Windows Phone 7 efforts, but the Nokia 700 “Zeta” reminds us that Symbian handsets are still floating in the pipeline. It looks like a nice phone for those who are looking for a simple smartphone without all the bells and whistles of the higher-end Android or Windows Phone…
Google tried its hand at social networking with Buzz, but ultimately failed at what seemed like an honest effort. It tried to buy Twitter and Facebook in the past, but couldn’t manage that, either. So, if you can’t beat ’em, join ’em. Again. That’s what the search giant is hoping to do with Google+. At…
