Apple is demanding Samsung send it its entire stock of Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablets

Apple Australia is demanding Samsung send it its entire stock of Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablets to be destroyed as part of a legal battle that could soon extend to Samsung's smartphone range.
The Galaxy Tab 10.1's Australian launch was set for this month but Samsung has agreed to halt sales and advertising for the product following action by Apple in the Federal Court yesterday.

An expert on intellectual property law says Samsung's agreement indicates Apple has a case. But whether dump trucks laden with Samsung tablets will be hauling thousands of units to Apple HQ for destruction will have to be determined by the court, which will next hear the case at the end of this month.
Apple has $US76 billion in cash and is using this immense war chest to sue many of the competitors who are using Google's Android platform to challenge the iPad and iPhone's dominance.
Samsung and Apple are at each other's throats in both smartphones and tablets, with the former's Galaxy S II smartphone and Galaxy Tab tablet regarded by critics as being on par with or superior to Apple's offerings.
Recently it was revealed that Apple and Samsung had surpassed Nokia in global smartphone sales and the competition between the two is so heated that Apple and Samsung are now suing each other in no less than nine countries.
"It's no coincidence that Samsung's latest products look a lot like the iPhone and iPad, from the shape of the hardware to the user interface and even the packaging," an Apple Australia spokeswoman said today.
"This kind of blatant copying is wrong, and we need to protect Apple's intellectual property when companies steal our ideas."

Samsung has not commented on the merits of Apple's action but said the case related to the US version of the Galaxy Tab 10.1, which Samsung has now agreed not to sell in Australia.
It said a version of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 for the Australian market would be released "in the near future" but did not say how this would differ from the US model. Apple may seek injunctions halting the sale of this new model as well if it determines that it is not sufficiently different to avoid infringing Apple's patents.
The suit is laced with irony as Apple is one of Samsung's biggest customers, with the latter manufacturing flash memory for Apple and the iPad's A5 processor.
Apple is also targeting other makers of Google Android smartphones including HTC. The US International Trade Commission recently ruled that HTC infringed on two of Apple's patents. HTC has indicated it will appeal against the ruling, which could see it prevented from selling phones in the US, and has since filed its own lawsuit against Apple in Britain.
Apple is also seeking to prevent HTC from selling its new Flyer tablet and has filed cases against Motorola over separate alleged patent infringements. Just last month Apple settled a similar lawsuit against Nokia.
Globally, Apple's products face significant threats from Google Android competitors, with recent figures from Canalys revealing Android has taken 50 per cent of the global smartphone market, compared with 19 per cent for the iPhone. However, in tablets Apple is still by far the dominant player.
In the Federal Court yesterday, Apple accused Samsung's Galaxy Tab 10.1 of infringing on 10 of its patents including the "look and feel" and touchscreen technology of the iPad, Steven Burley, a lawyer for Apple, told Federal Court Justice Annabelle Bennett.
Apple sought an Australian injunction and also wants to stop Samsung from selling the tablet in other countries, Mr Burley said without specifying where.
Samsung agreed to stop advertising the Galaxy Tab 10.1 in Australia and not to sell the device until it wins court approval or the lawsuit is resolved, according to an accord reached by lawyers during a break in the hearing.

HP's marketing department may have gotten way ahead

Hewlett-Packard apparently believes there is still room for another player in the cloud music space.

HP is in conversations with the major record labels about launching its own digital music locker service, which would offer music, movies and TV shows, according to Billboard magazine. Speculation that HP had plans for a cloud service has been heating up since Precentral.net reported in April that a confidential PowerPoint presentation about the forthcoming TouchPad mentioned a previously undiscussed HP Music Store and HP Movie Store.

HP's marketing department may have gotten way ahead of the negotiators this time; sources said the discussions are still in the very early stages.

Despite having to follow heavyweights Apple, Amazon, and Google into the cloud, HP has been dabbling in the music business for the better part of the past decade.

• In 2001, HP released a digital-music/computing appliance called the HP Digital Entertainment Center de100c that allowed consumers to download music from the Internet and play it on a home stereo.

• In 2004, HP partnered with Starbucks to launch a new music-centric coffee store in which customers would be able to create their own music compilations from a digital library and burn them to CDs.

• In 2009, HP teamed up with hip-hop impresario Dr. Dre on Beats Audio, a premium line of laptops, headsets, and software designed to reverse the drop-off in sound quality brought on by the onset of digital music.

• In early 2010, HP partnered with Ominfone to distribute the U.K. music provider's MusicStation service on PCs sold in Europe. The service boasted unlimited access to more than 6.5 million DRM-protected music tracks from the four major recording labels.

HP began laying the groundwork for a cloud music service since June 2010, when it acquired Melodeo, a start-up that specializes in music applications and services for mobile devices. At the time, the Seattle-based company was working on an app called Nutsie that would run on several mobile platforms and give users a way to wirelessly transmit music from the iTunes library on their computer to a mobile device.

HP has already hinted at such a service, when marketing materials for their TouchPad tablet included talk of an HP store for music and movies. Like Amazon and Google’s current offerings, HP plans to stream content to users, though they also have goals of streaming content that users don’t already own, something none of the current locker services have been able to offer.

But there’s a reason those services don’t currently offer such a feature, and much of it likely lies with the labels. HP’s talks with the labels are still in the early stages, and they certainly don’t carry the same rapport with said labels as Apple does. It remains to be seen if they can succeed where others have failed.

HP has a long history of testing the waters of the digital music market without making any serious splash. They solicited partners in 2008 with the intention of building a music service. And they partnered with Starbucks a few years before on a program that ultimately proved unprofitable.

While no one doubts HP’s vast resources–which could certainly enable them to put a serious competitor on the market—what is in doubt is whether they can release a compelling product or just another also-ran. The window remains open, as Amazon, Google and Apple’s services all appear to be in their infancy. Were HP to beat them to market with a true all-you-can-eat streaming option for cloud music consumption, it could be a major coup for both the company and the labels.

Why are Android tablets tanking while Android smartphones explode?

Sony once again announced its Android tablets this week, joining pretty much every major PC maker in announcing -- but not actually shipping -- Android tablets based on the Google Android "Honeycomb" 3.0 OS. The same week, yet another investor analyst reported that sales of the first Honeycomb tablet, the respectable Motorola Mobility Xoom, may have sold as few as 25,000 units. (Motorola Mobility says it shipped 250,000, but that means how many it sent to stores, not how many they sold.) Compare this number to 2.5 million sold in a shorter period for the iPad 2, which Apple could not make enough of and, thus, sold fewer than expected. One particularly vulturish investment analyst even suggested Motorola start suing other Android makers over patents to make money, rather than rely on the sales of Android tablets themselves.

Meanwhile, sales of Android smartphones continued to surge; most analyst firms predicted Android handsets will account for half of all smartphone sales in the United States by year's end, up from about 30 percent today, and become the undisputed smartphone champ. The iPhone, by contrast, would remain flat and account for around 25 to 30 percent of smartphones sold, RIM BlackBerrys Hp 2230s battery,Hp 530 Battery,Hp dv6000 Batterywould be in the 10 to 15 percent range, and everyone else would be irrelevant. Even enterprises are predicted to see an Android smartphone majority this year.

Why are Android tablets tanking while Android smartphones explode? You can't just blame the iPad, because the iPhone isn't enjoying the same relative success against Android smartphones as the iPad is against the Xoom. Yet, generally speaking, the quality gap is no different.

There are several theories floating around, none satisfying given the huge Android fan base, the large number of Apple haters out there, and the lack of other tablets to choose instead. Face it -- hardly anyone will choose the RIM BlackBerry PlayBook given how disastrous that product turned out to be, and you don't see any evidence that people are rethinking their aversion to Windows tablets.

One theory is that the iPad 2 is so obviously superior that no one -- not even a fandroid -- can resist the Apple tablet. Superior it is, but fanboys are by definition hard-core devotees, not fair-weather friends. I just don't see a massive religious conversion occurring, especially among those who have legitimate issues with Apple's control over the platform and users (via iTunes and the App Store). Meanwhile, these same folks remain in thrall to every Android smartphone rumor, as Apple fanboys are to iPhone rumors.

Another theory is they're waiting for the flood of promised Android tablets before they put down Hp pavilion dv7 battery their $500 to $900. Maybe, but there should be a lot more fandroids willing to get the first, respectable Android tablet today (the $600 Xoom) rather than wait until summer or fall for the promised devices -- especially considering the similarity in their specs.

A third theory is that Apple sneakily bought up all the key components at discount in its confidence about the iPad 2's success. As a result, Android makers and other competitors are forced to charge more than Apple for feature-equivalent products -- forcing users to wait until prices are more closely aligned.

A fourth theory is that would-be Android tablet buyers are simply slower on the draw than iPad buyers. They didn't jump onto iPhones in that device's first three years but waited until Year 4 (2010) of the smartphone phenomenon to join in. They'll wait out another stretch before buying a tablet because it's still too early to go there.

Google's own behavior may encourage such slow motion: It made devicemakers wait Compaq 484170-001 battery,Hp dv9000 Battery a year after the iPad to get its own tablet OS, causing many vendors to release ill-advised smartphone-based devices for the holidays. Even now, its pace is glacial in updating and releasing Honeycomb. Google has also made no effort to outflank Apple, following Apple's lead in almost every area instead (voice-based search and navigation being the major exceptions).
