Samsung vs. Apple, the real legal battle has begun!

They challenged a few hours ago and already did not send her to say. Who are we talking? Of the two giants of mobile phones (and others) that continue to cane, but this time they do it in court and there are twists.

Like a good movie, even in this case, the characters show looming and convinced of their beliefs, their own philosophy. It is no coincidence that they are the masters of the market and smartphones on the market if we contending and divided to the tune of billions. Challenge for the future and not for the present.

The theater of battle is the Netherlands where the hearing was held on charges of Samsung against Apple, guilty, according to the Korean society of "violating some patents in wireless design of the iPhone and iPad" .

Apple is represented by the Advocate and Rutger Kleemans Freshfields team, Samsung Bas Berghuis of Simmons & Simmons . In this case the lawyers to speak and just manage to turn the "challenge" with statements like:

Samsung takes 2.4% of the cost of a chip for each of its patent . Apple considers these requests simply excessive. The two companies are still negotiating an agreement for the granting of licenses.

The real problem lies in the concept of patent license and evidently out of place by one of two parts. The so-called "licenses" may be exclusive or not, this means that the various company like Intel and Infineon , from which Apple buys chip, in turn, could have bought the licenses or patents whose value may or may not be "resold ". So where lies the problem? From the fact that those licenses or patents are those of Samsung ! So far, so ok. So what caused this dispute to be fierce?

The Korean company claims that Apple has more than "ten suppliers whose names are hidden on purpose." Why? To avoid paying these patents or licenses ones that really belong to Samsung. The latest proposal to Apple was rejected because it considered excessive. One wonders then if the trick has worked serious about Cupertino or if the lawyers are considering a counter to avoid the huge costs required by the fierce competitor.Who will win the day?

Here's what to expect from the next iPhone hardware, camera, software and design

The event of October 4 (not yet officially) is closer but still the general framework offered by the rumors was unable to give us a clear view of the characteristics of the new iPhone that Apple is preparing to introduce in the market. The boys have 9to5Mac collected in a single article the result of its investigations and revelations of sources thanks to the "secret" we offer a comprehensive roundup of the main features that the iPhone will find on the Future of the fifth generation.

 Please note that we are primarily talking about the iPhone 5, or a significant upgrade over the previous version, not just iPhone 4s. Here are the main features divided into categories:

Hardware

Then we start talking about the hardware department. The new product will mount the dual-core processor chip A5 , we find the same in the current iPad 2, which will offer significantly improved performance during the game experience and drawing graphics. Unlike iPad 2, the new iPhone will mount 1GB of RAM , thus to facilitate Web surfing and multitasking. In the photographic industry, will boast a room with 8 megapixels for high-resolution photos and click "clean", even in low light conditions, thanks to the good sensor lit. The front camera will remain more or less the same. The American customers will be happy with the presence of Qualcomm's new chip that will support both GSM and CDMA networks.

Software

According to 9to5Mac, 5 will be the real news of the iPhone software, which is the version of IOS 5 enhanced for the new device. The first change should be the ' Voice Assistant , an exclusive feature for the fifth generation of the Apple phone. It will be an evolution of the speech recognition and will enjoy the advanced technology developed by Nuance. Here's how it will work:

To activate it you must hold down the home state for a few seconds (the loading will be much faster thanks to the A5 and the RAM chips plus) and then an interface will appear "microphone" - similar to APP Voice memo - after a pleasant animation. The interface will not occupy the entire screen, but only the bottom - as the bar of multitasking. The function will also be accessible from the unlock screen.

The Narrator will recognize many voice commands and the About page we find the most common. Will have access to many features of IOS from creating an event in Calendar or Task Reminders in the navigation in satellite maps, from writing and sending an SMS-Email-IMessage to read the latter, ending with the choice a track, album or playlist of music. The Voice Assistant will also be able to enter into a kind of communication with the user, asking for details of the operation request and communicating the options of choice. Nuance's technology will make it very natural and allows a recognition and a perfect answer tone at all realistic. The integration with the popular service Wolfram Alpha will find answers to many questions, calculations, definitions and applications using voice input!

Another innovation in software is " Find my Friends ", a service similar to that launched by Facebook, which allow you to know in real time the position of our friends around us. Will be naturally set limits on privacy and the service will be activated via the Voice Assistant with a simple "Where's John?" (For example).

Design

We come to the most painful and debated by all the rumors. Any information received by 9to5Mac speak of a nearly identical appearance to the current iPhone 4 . The same site, however, doubts advances, especially in reference to many cases and many rumors have suggested that the arrival of an iPhone design with 5 totally revolutionized.

The only truth we will know on October 4th!
