Oracle Sues Google Over Android

By Kurt Black posted August 13, 2010, 10:03 am | 0

Oracle Corp sued Google Inc, alleging patent and copyright infringement in the development of the popular Android smartphone software.

The suit, filed on Thursday in California federal court, claims that Google “knowingly, directly and repeatedly infringed Oracle’s Java-related intellectual property” in developing Android, Oracle spokeswoman Karen Tillman said in a statement. “This lawsuit seeks appropriate remedies.”

Oracle acquired Java through its $5.6 billion purchase of Sun Microsystems earlier this year. Analysts said the suit against Google could signal that Oracle intends to be more aggressive in seeking licensees for Java, a technology that is used in many types of Internet-based products.

Samsung Galaxy S Review

By Ryan Deal posted July 15, 2010, 11:44 am | 0

Well, Samsung was nice enough to send me their new Samsung Galaxy S phone to review so before I start I wanted to say that this review is 100% my opinion, they just asked me to give an honest review. So… here goes!

First of all, I would like to talk about how it looks. The phone is awesome. It’s slick, almost as thin as the new iPhone 4 but not as flat, which I kind of liked a bit more while holding the phone to make calls or play with all the apps. The device looks to be a little less than a quarter of an inch taller and the same wider, but it definitely still has that small phone feel. The screen however, has about a half an inch more property vertically and maybe a tiny fraction of an inch horizontally, which for me is a big seller. And as for in-hand feel, it did feel pretty lightweight, making it seem a little bit more plastic-y. Then again, some may see that as a good thing — less weight to carry around and stuff in your pocket, etc.

Then of course, there’s Samsung’s Super AMOLED Display (Active-Matrix Organic Light-Emitting Diode) which basically translates to: one vivid, ultra-bright display. They even boast 80% less reflection, which was hard to compare to my iPhone 4, but the phone sure was clear and crisp.

Maybe you know someone that got an iPad. That’s cool, but it might not be for you. Check out these nine iPad alternatives to see which suits you best. Some of these offer features the iPad doesn’t have or can deliver what the iPad can but for less money.

1. The Notion Ink Adam Android Tablet

With its sleek design and 10-inch touch screen, the Notion Ink Adam Tablet is an iPad alternative to be desired. It also boasts a 16-hour battery life and 3MP camera. Also unlike the iPad, the tablet features a browser that supports Flash. Maybe the most striking is the Adam’s revolutionary Pixel Qi screen. The transflective LCD screen can switch between color and black and white modes for e-reading.
