Apple and Samsung’s business relationship can be said to have been burnt beyond repair, in fact, Samsung recently disclosed that they are just a “manufacturer” in Apple’s eyes, and who knows, Samsung might not even get any more contracts from Apple in the future. Having said that, Apple appealed the ruling of the Tokyo District Court earlier this morning, where the Tokyo District Court dismissed Cupertino’s claim that Samsung actually infringed on its smartphone and tablet computer patents.
Apple did ask for 100 million yen (approximately $1.27 million) in damages, and after the ruling, they have decided to appeal it by taking the case to the Intellectual Property High Court in Tokyo. No idea on just what the final verdict will be, and whether the appeal will be overturned or accepted, but we do know that a long and rocky road known as legal wrangles is up in store ahead for both Samsung and Apple.

Well, to see a Lumia 920 variant developed specially for China does not surprise us, but rather, it is to be expected considering how in the past, the Lumia 800C (obviously a shout out to folks in China who want the Windows Phone-powered Lumia 810) was said to have done well for itself in the world’s most populous country.
Most of our modern day smartphones run on lithium ion batteries, and while advancements have been made to increase the battery capacity so that theoretically, battery life is stretched as well, but smartphone manufacturers tend to negate that advantage by introducing even more energy sapping features and functions in newer devices. How about this – a phone that can be “charged” anywhere in the world, as long as there is some sweetened water, or in this case, Coca-Cola?
