Samsung is looking to give apple a run for its money. Wonder how? With the announcement of its latest kid—the 7-incher Samsung Galaxy Tab 3, Samsung is confidently sharpening its lance to challenge Apple’s iPad Mini to a duel. The battle of the smaller warriors is set to begin but we wonder if the Galaxy Tab 3 has enough in it to beat iPad Mini black and blue. First things first—the Galaxy Tab 3 is powered by 1.2GHz dual-core processor against the dual-core A5 processor pumping life into the iPad Mini. If bigger means better, then the iPad Mini beats Galaxy Tab 3 with its 7.9-inch multi touch display. To spice up its appearance further, Apple has added LED-backlight with IPS technology on the iPad Mini. Against the Tab 3’s TFT display, this does emerge as a winning card at the outset. On digging deeper, we found that the 169 [+more]

Samsung Galaxy S4 Vs Apple iPhone 6

  Apple iPhone 5S is on the way but with Samsung Galaxy S4 making waves in the market, Apple is not happy with its success and is not taking it in positive stride. Direct comments of Apple’s head of marketing Phil Schiller on Samsung Galaxy S4 have surfaced the threat Apple is facing. Former Apple exec  Jean-Louis Gassée was not happy with the way Apple is showing its fear to the world. Monsieur Gassée wrote in a column: “Attacking competitors, pointing to their weaknesses, and trumpeting one’s achievements is better done by hired media assassins. A company, directly or through a PR firm, engages oft-quoted consultants who provide the required third-party stats, barbs, and encomiums. This isn’t theorizing, I once was a director at a company, one of many, that used such an arrangement to good effect”. Gassée went on to say that Apple was “losing the war of words”, [+more]

After Steve Jobs, perhaps another Steve is iconic in his association with Apple. We mean Steve Wozniak—for all those, yet unacquainted—he is the co-founder of the market giant Apple. Now when a statement comes from such an individual, it sure means serious business. Woznaiak was vocal in opining that Apple cannot take its fan base for granted and in the race for retaining its popularity and position, it indeed lags behind in terms of specs that define a smartphone. With the Korean Samsung leaving no second whereby it is not pulling its ropes tight, Apple needs to take the value of sizzling up its products with innovation. With Samsung Galaxy III innovations could not just be re-defined, but could well be refined. Multi-windows, no-sleep space for the phone and the sexy S-Beam, Samsung could indeed come out with another wonder kid on the block. With competition in such style, Apple [+more]

Just when you thought innovation was Apple’s ballgame ( though are Apple iPhone 5 debacle we are not expecting much from iPhone 6), Samsung went ahead and unveiled its bendable screens during the CES 2013 last month, leaving everyone spellbound. They called it ‘Youm’, and these screens use organic light emitting diode (OLED) technology for their displays. Samsung has also claimed that these bendable screens are unbreakable – twist it any way you like. For now, however, Samsung has only showcased the technology, but hasn’t yet incorporated it in any of its phones (How we wish it comes in Samsung Galaxy S4). But we’re guessing the day won’t be too far when the company actually brings out a smartphone featuring a bendable ‘Youm’ screen. The implications are massive for the smartphone industry, which is growing at a rapid pace since the past few years. If ‘Youm’ is the future of [+more]

      Even after U.S. Court gave a decision not to put ban on products Samsung Electronics Co, Apple argued that the Court should re-think its decision to knock over the pretrial sales ban on Samsung breach.                       A lower court in California ordered a ban on sales of Samsung’s Galaxy Nexus smart phone but the .S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit annulled the ban. Apple argued that this was inappropriate and asked for an “en banc review,” which means more judged would come forward to look at the decision. The patent over which the companies are fighting is the one which allows the smartphone to search multiple data storage locations at once. For example, the smartphone could search the device’s memory as well as the Internet with a single query. Apple argued that the sales ban [+more]

They’re among the hottest devices out in the market this time of the year, and needless to say, they’re both really impressive. They may primarily be different, one being a formidable competition in the tightly contested tablet arena, and the other a phablet – having created a category of its own.

US Judge Rejects Apple’s Plea to Ban Samsung Smartphones

By   |  Tech Fetish of the Day, Tech Oh! Mania  |  
samsung-vs-apple

The verdict on Apple vs Samsung case is out. US District Judge Lucy Koh has said that there is not enough evidence to suggest that Apple patents infringed by Samsung had affected sales for Apple. Therefore, the judge has rejected Apple’s plea to ban sales of Samsung’s smartphones. Apple has sought a ban on Samsung products based on the verdict of a jury earlier this year that the Korean manufacturer had infringed Apple’s patents. The jury has asked Samsung to pay $1.05bn (£650m) in damages. However, Samsung has challenged the ruling and with the Judge turning down Apple’s request to ban Samsung from selling its smartphones, it is going to be a long haul for Apple. Koh said, “The phones at issue in this case contain a broad range of features, only a small fraction of which are covered by Apple’s patents.”
