Motorola (actually its Motorola Mobility subsidiary) claims that the “ iPhone , iPad, iTouch and certain Mac computers” infringe a total of 18 patents. Said patents are related to various technologies, including WCDMA (aka 3G), GPRS, Wi-Fi 802.11, wireless email, location-based services, software application management, proximity sensing, and multi-device synchronization. Moto says that these technologies are fraudulently used by Apple in “many of its core products and associated services”, including the famous App Store and MobileMe.

Verizon will launch LTE in 38 cities and more than 60 airports by the end of the year

Verizon is busy investing in and developing its next-generation LTE network across the United States. LTE is a technology that will allow for faster data speeds than current generation 3G or WiMax networks, and also, perhaps even more important for some use-cases, significantly lower latencies. Verizon’s LTE will initially see speeds ranging from 5 to 12 Mbps for download and between 2 and 5 Mbps for upload. Verizon’s LTE network will be live, before this year’s end, in 38 metropolitan areas and more than 60 airports across the United States. The 38 cities which will get LTE this year are: Akron, Ohio Athens, Georgia Atlanta, Georgia Baltimore, Maryland Boston, Massachusetts Charlotte, North Carolina Chicago, Illinois Cincinnati, Ohio Cleveland, Ohio Columbus, Ohio Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, Dallas, Texas Denver, Colorado Fort Lauderdale, Florida Houston, Texas Jacksonville, Florida Las Vegas, Nevada Los Angeles, California Miami, Florida Minneapolis/Saint Paul, Minnesota Nashville, Tennessee New Orleans, Louisiana New York, New York Oakland, California Oklahoma City, Oklahoma Orlando, Florida Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Phoenix, Arizona Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Rochester, New York San Antonio, Texas San Diego, California San Francisco, California San Jose, California Seattle/Tacoma, Washington St.

Verizon iPhone to enter mass production by year’s end

There have been so many rumors of a CDMA iPhone headed to Verizon over the past few years that at this point it could be really tough to believe that it may actually be happening. But the sudden increase, over the past couple of months, in chatter indicating that a Verizon iPhone is imminent, does point to the rumors finally coming to life. Ironically, Apple may have started working on a CDMA iPhone long after the first rumors about the supposed device came to light. In a similar fashion to what happened with the original iPhone and the iPad . Anyway, today the Wall Street Journal is reporting that “people briefed by Apple” have found out that mass production for a Verizon iPhone shall start before the end of this year.

Dream Machine: What Makes The Perfect Phone?

a flux capacitor for your phone? If you were to ask 100 people what their perfect smartphone would be, you can guarantee that it would never be possible to make. While that seems like a bold statement, a phone that did everything would be sure to cost more than any normal phone owner could ever afford, not to mention how big it have to be to fit in the necessary software, hardware, flux capacitor and espresso maker as requested. Instead, it’s easier to think about a handful of things a phone should have to make it perfect for everyday use. Here’s a list of ten things to look for in a phone that might just make up for not being able to brew us a morning cup of Joe

Google Goggles Comes to the iPhone

Google Goggles is one of those neat little applications that until you use it, you never realise just how useful it can be. The application has been available on Android devices since December last year, and now the app has come to the iPhone, with the latest Google App for iPhone update. What Google Goggles does, is to make a search based on an image captured on your phone. This could be a landmark, cover of a book, DVD, magazine, company logo, etc, and once captured Google Goggles will analyse the image and make a search based on the results. You can also train Google Goggles, so if a result returns unsatisfactory results, you can give feedback to help Google improve the app in a future release

WD’s My Book External USB 3.0 Drive Joins 3TB Club

3TB hard drives aren’t exclusive to Seagate now as Western Digital has just announced its own to join none other than the My Book Essential external drive family. The WD’s 3TB – a Caviar Green drive – is based on a 4-platter so the drive actually has 750GB per platter compared with 600GB per platter for the Seagate version. Whether or not this will have an impact on performance remains to be seen. The WD’s My Book Essential also comes with a special MBR hack to allow device to report 4k clusters to Windows XP as the OS wouldn’t be able to handle drives past 2.2TB. Also unlike the Seagate GoFlex modular adapter approach , the WD’s My Book goes with a single USB 3.0 connection
