Samsung delays tablet launch in Australia on Apple suit

Posted by admin on Monday, 29 August, 2011

SEOUL (Reuters) – Samsung Electronics Co said on Monday it would delay the launch of its latest Galaxy tablet computer in Australia until after a court ruling in late September on its ongoing global patent dispute with Apple.

Samsung and Apple have been locked in acrimonious battle over smartphones and tablets patents since April as Apple seeks to rein in the growth of Google’s Android phones by taking directly aim at the biggest Android vendor, Samsung.

The sales delay in Australia is the latest setback for Samsung after Apple won an injunction in a Dutch court last week to ban sales of three of Samsung’s smartphone models in some European countries.

A Germany court also said last week that Apple’s injunction request to stop sales of Samsung’s Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet in the country will remain in place until September 9 when it delivers its ruling.

Samsung said on Monday it has agreed to delay the launch of Galaxy Tab 10.1 in Australia pending the court’s decision in the week of September 26 and said it will lodge the cross claim through the Australian court in the coming days.

“Today, Samsung informed the Federal Court of Australia it intends to file a cross claim against Apple Australia and Apple Inc regarding the invalidity of the patents previously asserted by Apple and also a cross claim against Apple regarding violation of patents held by Samsung by selling its iPhones and iPads,” Samsung said in a statement.

Samsung first delayed the launch of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 earlier this month following an agreement with Apple at an earlier court hearing.

Apple, which has conquered the high end of the phone market with its iPhone, has argued that Samsung had infringed on its patents and the Galaxy line of products “slavishly” copied its design, look and feel. It is fighting legal battles in the United States as well as Europe, South Korea and Australia.

Samsung has counter-sued, arguing Apple infringed its wireless patents.

The launch of the new Galaxy tablet is crucial for Samsung, a distant No.2 player in the global tablet market, to close the gap with Apple and achieve its target of raising tablet sales by more than five folds this year.

There are a variety of keyboards in the markets. According to the working principle, keyboards can be divided into mechanical keyboards, membrane keyboards, capacitive keyboards and conductive rubber keyboards. A mechanical keyboard is the structure that was used earliest, which use the principle that similar to metal-contact switches to turn on or off the contacts. In a word, it has the features of simple process, convenient maintenance, large noise and easy to wear. A membrane keyboards can also be called a silent and waterproof keyboard.

Netflix sheds light on benefits of HTML5 for apps

Netflix hopes that HTML5 will allow for better user experiences with its iOS and Android apps.
In a blog posting, Netflix’s VP of Personalization Technology John Ciancutti outlines reasons for embracing HTML5 as the technology of choice to run his company’s mobile and console apps and what that decision means for customers.

You may recall, back in October, Netflix began to offer disc-free streaming on the Playstation 3 through an app installed on the console. What many people probably didn’t notice is that app and the accompanying user interface were written solely in HTML5 using a customized port of Webkit.

The decision to use HTML5, Netflix says, allowed its engineers to construct an app that masquerades as a native program, hiding the truth that it’s actually a Web-based app. “That’s what HTML5 brings to the table, the freedom to create rich, dynamic and interactive experiences for any platform with a web browser, ” Ciancutti says. “In fact, we’re also using HTML5 to create the user experience for our iPhone, iPad and Android applications as well.”

What else does HTML5 have to offer? It’s easy to modify and experiment with, Netflix says. A big part of Netflix’s success hinges on its ability to find new ways to keep hooking up customers with movies and TV shows that they will enjoy. That means Netflix is frequently changing both its back end and front end setups making sure that finding content is increasingly easy for subscribers.

By being based entirely on the host-side servers, HTML5 makes implementing those changes appear seamless to users. As Ciancutti puts it, “our customers don’t have to go through a manual process to install new software every time we make a change, it ‘just happens.’”

Expect the HTML5-powered Netflix app to arrive on your iOS and Android devices sometime in the near future.
