Such sweet, sweet revenge. After the maker of the hugely popular Candy Crushseries of games on the App Store somehow managed to trademark the word "candy" in Europe, other developers have started to fight back by blitzing Apple with an insulin-inducing array of Candy-themed game submissions. More than 100 hastily prepared titles have already been put forward as part of an organized "Candy Jam" protest against the trademarking of common words, including such gobstoppers such as CAN D, ThisGameIsNotAboutCandy, CanDieCanDieCanDieand the inimitable Candy_Game ("Press to hear Candy.")
In the meantime, the developer at the center of the controversy, King.com, continues to pursue legal action against those who use any of words in its arsenal of trademarks, even those that have nothing to do with sugar. This apparently includes one poor dev who had the cheek to use the word "saga" in a Norse mythology-themed game called The Banner Saga -- a title that treads too closely to Candy Crush Saga, according to legal documents filed by King. What's more, now that King has also filed for new trademarks in the US, this whole saga (eek) could be about to get even sicklier.

If you were jonesing for a 16GB OUYA console but didn't snag the limited white edition, we have good news: you just got a second chance at buying your dream Android gaming system. The company plans to launch a standard 16GB model inmatte black (aka "anthracite") that throws in a handful of important tweaks. It includes the refined gamepad, with higher-quality buttons and a more responsive Bluetooth connection; it also boasts stronger WiFi performance and more recent firmware. Should the color, capacity and tweaks be enough to seal the deal, you can buy the black variant starting today from Amazon or OUYA for $130.

A new version of Android gaming console Ouya has been released in the US and is available for $129.
In addition to a refined controller, it features 16GB of memory, an upgrade from the 8GB that the original model launched with. The new version also features better WiFi connectivity and is loaded with the latest firmware.
 The original Ouya will still be available for $99.
Although GAME and Amazon UK both sold the Ouya at launch, at the time of writing they do not have the new version listed for sale.
In CVG's Ouya review Chris Scullion said the "lack of a visible download queue, the zero visibility of prices in store, the horrible controller lag, the weak Wi-Fi receiver, the blocks on fully expanding the storage" let the device down.
"Even basic stuff like the option to change the display settings... all of these things need to be remedied before the Ouya can truly be considered a viable alternative."
"That potential can only truly be reached, however, if Ouya continues to work on the console through regular system updates. The indie community has shown its support by having 200 games ready in the first week, now Ouya needs to reciprocate by ensuring its console is as user-friendly as it can possibly be."

 Apple's usually pretty quick when it comes to fixing issues with its software, and today is no exception. The iPhone maker has begun delivering iOS 7.0.5 to 5s and5c models that are available in China, an update that is expected to solve "network provisioning" for some affected handsets there. This comes shortly after Apple finally announced a deal to bring the iPhone to China Mobile, which put an end to a long, long period of negotiations and landed its shiny new devices on the carrier. As such, and even though the changelog doesn't single the network out, iOS 7.0.5 would appear to be tailored for China Mobile subscribers who recently bought an iPhone. Either way, for those of you outside of China, no need to be hunting for this particular version -- it's only for those who actually need it.

Late last year, Samsung found itself in trouble over claims it had secretly spied on Apple and Nokia documents to gain a better position in patent deals. It denied any wrongdoing, saying it hadn't done so wilfully, and now US judge Paul S. Grewal has finally drawn the same conclusion. PCWorld reports that the US District Court for the Northern District of California ruled Wednesday that the Korean company could not have used confidential information for its patent licensing talks with Nokia, a deal that was extended in November, because it already knew all of the terms ahead of the leak.
The court considered sanctions against Samsung after the company's legal negotiator, Dr. Seungho Ahn, had reportedly told Nokia that its terms with Apple "were known to him," even though they were marked "highly confidential -- attorneys' eyes only." Up to 50 Samsung employees were said to have been given non-redacted copies of Apple documents by its external counsel Quinn Emanuel, which included patent deals with Nokia, but also Ericsson, Sharp and Philips. While Samsung has escaped further action, the court will force its legal representatives to cover both Apple and Nokia's legal fees, effectively making the "junior associate working late one night" pay for underusing that big black marker.

It was just three weeks ago that Nokia pushed out its Lumia Black software update to the Lumia 925 and 1020, with the promise that other Lumia phones would get updated asap. Well, sure enough, the Lumia 820 and 920 on AT&T have received the software patch, according to WPCentral. As on other Lumia devices, the update brings app folders, Bluetooth 4.0 LE support, an updated Glance screen and the unified Nokia Camera app. No RAW shooting, unfortunately -- that's a luxury reserved for 1020 and 1520 owners -- but you'll otherwise enjoy the same updates as anyone else with a newish Windows Phone 8 device. At any rate, feel free to get your download on, and do let us know in the comments how it all goes.

A new report says that games spending on both the iOS App Store and the Google Play Store overtook portable gaming last year.
App Annie’s 2013 Retrospective report says that global App Store games spend overtook dedicated games portable software spend at the end of 2012 and Google Play overtook it in Q1 2013.
In Q4 2012 handheld console games spend ranked above both App Store and Global play. By Q2 2013 Google Play had overtaken portables and while portable gaming grew between Q2 and Q3 it was unable to catch Google Play, while App Store had surged far ahead.
The portable console numbers are inclusive of both digital and packaged games sales. Ad revenue is excluded from the figures.

It's no secret that apps like maps or local weather know your current location, and you're probably cool with that because you want to use the handy services they provide in exchange. But chances are there are many other apps on your phone, anything from dictionaries to games, that are also geolocating your every move without your knowledge or permission. Now researchers are developing a new app to police these smartphone spies, by tracking which apps are secretly tracking you, and warning you about it. Before your eyes glaze over at the mention of yet another privacy tool, it's worth noting that this new app is the first to be able to provide this line of defense between snooping apps and smartphone users for Android phones. Android's operating system is engineered not to allow apps to access information about other apps. But a team at Rutgers University found a way around that, by leveraging a function of Android's API to send a signal whenever an app requests location information from the operating system.MIT Technology Review reported on the research today."

A new eight-inch Samsung tablet appears to have been discovered.
The currently unnamed ‘SM-T330’ model was originally spotted on the Bluetooth SIG site, which approves and regulates the use of Bluetooth technology devices.
The same model number also appeared on the website of Indian import/export database Zauba, which revealed that the device has an eight-inch screen.
Some observers have argued that the device could be the as-yet unannounced Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 and may use an AMOLED display.

Soul Fjord is now available on the Ouya store. Developed by Airtight Games, the rhythm-action game stars an afro-sporting viking named Magnus Jones, who is hacking through enemies to get to the afterlife nightclub Valhalla. The developer describes its gameplay as "an extreme mash-up of rhythm game meets dungeon crawler with a roguelike twist," so death in the Norse mythology-based world holds some permanence, as seen in the game's launch trailer. Soul Fjord is free to download and supported by in-game purchases.
Airtight previously launched first-person puzzler Quantum Conundrum for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360. Creative Director Kim Swift also served as co-creator of Valve's hit puzzle-platformer Portal. If that's not enough star power for the funky game, its soundtrack comes from Grammy-nominatedJourney composerAustin Wintory.

Google is rumoured to be readying the axe for its Nexus hardware line.
BGR reports that Russian blogger Eldar Murtazin has claimed on Twitter that the Nexus brand will be discontinued in 2015, with the upcoming Nexus 5 smartphone likely to be one of the final launches.
Google’s hardware interest will persist, however, with an extension of its ‘Play Edition’ licensed releases. To date that has seen the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S4 and HTC One become available in vanilla Android ‘Play Edition’ versions, without any of the manufacturer bloatware included on the device.
To date several companies have been tasked with producing Nexus hardware including HTC (Nexus One), Samsung (Nexus S and 10), LG (Nexus 4 and 5) and Asus (Nexus 7).

51m iPhones and 26m iPads were sold by Apple in Q4 2013.
Both numbers are record-breaking for the firm, which in the same period a year before sold 47.8m iPhones and 22.9m iPads.
The sales led to revenue of $57.6bn and net profit of $13.1bn – which was flat –for the quarter.
CEO Tim Cook didn’t reveal any breakdown of the sales figures though did concede that “demand for the iPhone 5C was different than anticipated”, with the general consensus being that the not-so-low-priced ‘budget’ model has underperformed.
Samsung, however, sold 86m smartphones in the same period with Reuters reporting that the latest Strategy Analytics numbers show that Samsung claimed a 29.6 per cent share of the global Q4 smartphone market.
Apple claimed 17.6 per cent, down from 22 per cent a year before.
Overall in 2013 global smartphone shipments grew 41 per cent to reach a record-breaking 990m units. For the year as a whole Samsung claimed 32.2 per cent of the market and Apple 15.5 per cent.
Apple’s numbers for the next quarter will for the first time include sales resulting from its deal with China Mobile which saw the iPhone launch in the region earlier this month.

Apple's earnings are in, and as expected the company got a nice boost in sales over the holidays. We're talking 51 million iPhones sold -- an all-time quarterly record -- up from 47.8 million during the same quarter last year. It's unclear just how the iPhone sales break down between the iPhone 5c and 5s models, as Apple didn't offer those numbers. iPad sales reached a record quarterly high as well, at 26 million up from 22.9 million during the same year-ago quarter. Profit, meanwhile, comes in at $13.1 billion, showing no change year-over-year.
Mac sales are also up; with a jump to 4.8 million from 4.1 million in the year-ago quarter. Also record-setting was Cupertino's reported quarterly revenue of $57.6 billion. Apple's board of directors has also announced that shareholders will receive a $3.05 cash dividend per share early next month.
If Apple took a huge hit anywhere, though, it's with iPods. Year-over-year sales are down a whopping52 percent, with revenue down 55 percent. Those figures suggest that the more expensive iPod models took the hardest hit. That ugly stat aside, there are plenty of positive numbers this time around. As always, we'll be listening in on Apple's earnings conference call, so stay tuned.

85 per cent of devices sold in the last three months in Britain were smartphones.
Android proved to be Europe’s favourite operating system by the end of 2013 where is claimed 68.6 per cent of the market share, reports Kantar Worldpanel ComTech.
Apple came in a distant second with 18.5 per cent, and Windows Phone’s year-on-year growth continued, however its European market has stuck pretty much static at 10.3 per cent for the past three months.
Samsung’s European share slipped 2.2 per cent to 40.3 per cent, and it ended its year in China with a flat 23.7 per cent.
Dominic Sunnebo, strategic insight director at Kantar Worldpanel ComTech, said: “it is no surprise that everyone is concentrating on high growth in China, but currently local brands are proving clear winners. In December, Xiaomi overtook both Apple and Samsung to become the top selling smartphone in China.”
Britain’s smartphone market continued to thrive, with penetration standing at 69 per cent, and 85 per cent of all devices sold in the last three months being a smartphone.
Japan proved to be big Apple fans, where it took 68.7 per cent of smartphone sales, with success being driven by its deal with the Japan based carrier NTT DoCoMo.
Apple’s share on the carrier hit 58.1 per cent in Q4 of 2013 compared to 91.7 per cent on Softbank, and 63.7 per cent on AU KDDI.
Sunnebo continued: “Apple has lost share in most countries compared with this time last year, but importantly it has held strong shares in key markets including 43.9 per cent in USA, 29.9 per cent in Great Britain and 19 per cent in China.”
The over all smartphone market grew by 44 per cent last year with around a quarter of a billion devices begin shipped in Q3 alone.

New leaked NSA documents shed a new light on the agency's assault on the data controls of smartphone apps. Using app data permissions as a jumping off point, the documents show agency staffers building huge quantities of data, including 'intercepting Google Maps queries made on smartphones, and using them to collect large volumes of location information.' One slide lists capabilities for 'hot mic' recording, high precision geotracking, and file retrieval which would reach any content stored locally on the phone, including text messages, emails and calendar entries. As the slide notes in a parenthetical aside, 'if it's on the phone, we can get it.'"

Casual games publisher King has taken a game offline after facing accusations of hypocrisy and cloning.
During the latter-half of January, King became a spectacle of public relations problems after its lawyers obtained a trademark for the word Candy across North America and Europe, before challenging a separate trademark application filed by the developers of The Banner Saga.
 As Apple and Google began to delete games with the word "candy" from its app stores, King insisted it was also forced to challenge The Banner Saga trademark due to its use of the word "saga".
The Banner Saga, a Viking-themed tactical role-playing video game, is apparently an infringement on King's Candy Crush Saga, a match-three puzzle game which emulates the rules of games such as Bejeweled (2001), Zoo Keeper (2003) and Tetris Attack (1996).
In the wake of the controversial trademark protection policies, the indie developer Matthew Cox claimed that King had deliberately copied his game Scamperghost after he turned down a deal to license the game to King.
Cox's claims, which King denies, were supplemented with a screenshot comparison of both titles.
