Samsung’s Request to See iPhone 5 and iPad 3 Denied

For nearly a month now, we've been following Samsung's request for access to Apple's next-generation iPhone and iPad hardware, a move obviously made in retaliation for Apple having demanded ( and received ) access to unreleased, albeit publicly-shown, Samsung hardware as part of the legal battle between the two companies. As noted by FOSS Patents , a federal judge has now ruled that Apple does not have to turn its plans for the next-generation iOS hardware over to Samsung's lawyers. The judge also ruled, however, that there is some merit to Samsung's claims that its own forthcoming devices claimed to be infringing on Apple's designs should be compared to Apple's next-generation hardware as opposed to the current-generation hardware, particularly in the case of the iPhone. With Apple expected to be releasing the next-generation iPhone within the next few months, the judge notes that the potential for customer confusion should be gauged against products on the market at the same time.

Apple Television Still In the Works, Coming in 2011?

DailyTech is reporting on a rumor that has died down as of late, that is, Apple is preparing to enter the television set market with their own offering. Specifically, this report claims a “former Apple executive” states that Apple has entered into a partnership with a consumer electronics manufacturer to build the sets, which would have Apple TV and iTunes capabilities baked right in. Even with these televisions being built by another company, they would be Apple-branded, and marketed by Apple as well. Reportedly, the release is slated for this fall, but could be pushed to early next year if needed. Several odd things strike me about this report. First, the “former Apple executive” bit

Another Report Points to September ‘iPhone 5′ Launch, iPad 3 to Have Hi Res Screen

Bloomberg is reporting what we’ve already heard before- The next-generation iPhone is coming this September, and Apple is indeed working on a high-resolution iPad model. The only benefit here, is that Bloomberg is a big-name news source, which even then, they can get stories wrong from time to time. Anyway, the next-generation iPhone is said, as we’ve heard in other reports, to look much the same as the current iPhone 4 models, and to no one’s amazement, run iOS 5. Lastly, in regards to iPhone rumors, they claim that Apple is still working on a low-cost iPhone for developing countries. The report also goes on to mention the iPad, and how the next-generation model will be equipped with high-resolution screen. Oddly, they claim that the screen will have a resolution “about one-third higher” than the iPad 2. Everything sounds about right to me in this report, except for one thing- the iPad’s resolution.

New App myTaxiControl Inverts Balance of Power when Boarding a Taxi

Berlin, Germany – myTaxiControl announces the release of myTaxiControl 1.1a for iOS. It is fair to say that taxi passengers are in a very weak position compared to the drivers: they don’t know the applicable tariff, have no idea about the shortest route, are not informed about existing flat rates for common trips and have no basis to negotiate a flat rate. myTaxiControl inverts this situation totally as it puts the passenger in control. The amount of unjustified taxi fares paid by travelers around the world is certainly horrendously high, year in year out. This app has the potential to save billions on taxi fares. Why trust the taximeter when you can now bring-your-own?
