Woah! In the world of big-time lawsuits, this must be just about the biggest. The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Apple has sued Samsung Electronics for copying "the look and feel" of its iPad tablet and iPhone smartphone. This relates to the Samsung Galaxy S 4G, which bears more than a passing resemblance to the iPhone 3G / 3GS models, and the slightly less obvious Epic 4G, Nexus S, and Galaxy Tab (presumably the older 7-inch model, since the newer ones aren't out yet) devices. The claim for intellectual property infringement is phrased as follows:"Rather than innovate and develop its own technology and a unique Samsung style for its smart phone products and computer tablets, Samsung chose to copy Apple's technology, user interface and innovative style in these infringing products."
The lawsuit was filed in the Northern District of California on Friday and seeks injunctions against Samsung, damages (both actual and punitive), and a finding that the infringement was willful. Lest we forget, the rarest outcome in such legal tussles is for an actual judgment to actually be handed down, so the greatest likelihood is that this will just lead to another round of grudging handshakes and licensing going one way with money going the other way, but still, it's fun to see the big dogs barking at each other.
Another aspect to these proceedings that shouldn't be overlooked is that, on the software front, they boil down to iOS versus Android (again). When Apple calls Samsung uninventive in its user interface, it's talking more about Android's perceived imitation of the iPhone's interface than whatever TouchWiz tweaks Samsung has slapped on top. And hey, if you're going to sue Google indirectly, you can't leave a major player like Samsung outside the courtroom, it just wouldn't be fair.

Flash has been a thorn in Apple's side ever since the first iPhone shipped almost 4 years ago. While users have grown accustomed to their iOS devices not being able to display Flash content, it's unfortunate that Apple and Adobe have not been able to reach some sort of compromise before now.
Adobe, however, may have finally come up with a solution to the Flash dilemma once and for all with their latest version of Flash. At the National Association of Broadcasters trade show in Las Vegas, Adobe recently previewed the latest version of Flash that incorporates HTTP live streaming. With this new version of Flash, iOS devices will finally be able to display Flash video without the need to install any additional software on their devices.
Over the years Apple has been steadfast in their opposition to approving Flash for the iOS. Continually citing concerns over Flash’s poor overall performance and being detrimental to battery life.

Currently, the most popular camera used to upload pictures to Flickr is the NikonD90, a fine DSLR that costs over a thousand dollars. But in about a month or so, if trends continue, Apple’s iPhone 4 will take the lead as the most popular camera on Flickr. The Nikon D90 has been out for about three years now and has sold very well, but the iPhone 4, which has been out for under a year and is considerably less expensive, is about to take the top spot on Flickr.
It’s really not too surprising, however, as many people keep their iPhone’s with them most the time. A big, heavy, DSLR, may take much higher quality photos, but they can’t compete with the convenience of a smartphone. TheiPhone’s camera has progressively gotten better and better over the years. Now the images produced with the iPhone 4 are really quite good, especially for a camera with a microscopic lens.

According to the research, findings, and a healthy dose of speculation from analyst Ming-Chi Kuo with Concord Securities, Apple's long-awaited iPhone 5 may ultimately delver only a few, less than groundbreaking improvements over the 4th generation Apple smartphone.
Based on what Apple's overseas supply partners tell him, the iPhone 5 will not bestow an all-new design or anything - at least from an aesthetic standpoint - that is radically different from the previous four generations of the device. Kuo says the newphone will deliver only "slight modifications" from the last generation. In other words, expect the same body and retina display you already have.
It should also be noted that almost everyone - Kuo included - has stopped alluding to Near Field Communication (NFC) technology as a possible new attribute of the iPhone 5. NFC would make mobile payments (transactions via smartphone at the point of sale) possible at participating retailers across the US.

To date, we've heard scant few details about the next-generation iPhone, except for a rumor that it may or may not have a bigger screen, and that it almost certainly won't pack an NFC chip. Now, one analyst is reporting the design will remain unchanged, though its innards will get a slight boost. Ming-Chi Kuo of Concord Securities (who has been dead-on in the past) talked with sources in Apple's supply chain to learn that the iPhone 5 will boast the same A5 processor as the iPad 2, along with an 8 megapixel rear camera, improved antenna design, and that Qualcomm baseband for both GSM and CDMA models we've seen bandied about (technically, theone in the current Verizon version is already GSM-capable). His sources also claim that Apple will begin mass production of its next-gen phone in September, which aligns with what we already heardabout Apple moving to a fall launch -- and because of the ongoing disaster in Japan, the company might not have sufficient supplies to launch a new iPod touch at the same time. Typically we take many Apple rumors with a grain of salt, but these tidbits all sound plausible. And given that Kuo has been right before, we're especially inclined to believe him -- even if the truth is more ho-hum than magical.

Looks like somebody pulled the trigger on an order page for the mythical white iPhone 4 a little early over at Three UK. The phone that had previously been listed on the carrier's site for a long, long time (sans any ability to actually order it) has now sprouted up a page all its own with the magical option to "buy now." We managed to get all the way through to an order confirmation page, so if it's a mistake it's a very thoroughgoing one. Calling up Three's telephone ordering line and PR personnel brought us no closer to finding out the truth, but this particular order page was discovered via a tweet by a Three affiliate -- whose tweets have since gone private -- suggesting it was dug up from someone in the know. Our suspicion is that Apple's finally about ready to dish this phone up to the people and Three has been caught testing out its order page ahead of the inevitable onslaught of white iPhone orders. Hit the source link to see the premature revelation for yourself.

Rumor has it that HP is preparing to enter the cloud-based music storage fray. A reader at PreCentralsent in what purports to be a confidential PowerPoint presentation indicating the TouchPad will launch with an HP-branded music and movie store, as well as a smart syncing service that caches frequently accessed media for local playback. This may very well be the "Music Synergy" that SVP Steven McArthur mentioned to us. Amazon has already launched such an app and it's all but official that Google is planning the same thing, so it only makes sense that the company would want to imbue webOS with similar powers. We can't verify these claims ourselves and the slide above is clearly a wonky Photoshop job, but it's would hardly be surprising after snatching up Melodeo and the streaming music service Nutsie. And, while webOS and Android are working to banish the quaint ritual of plugging your cellphone into a computer, we can only imagine what the Lala team is up to -- maybe Jobs has them washing his turtlenecks.

You know how ebooks are gradually taking over paper books as the most popular format for the consumption of the written word? Well, that's bad, mmkay? Publishers, librarians, and booksellers are losing their jobs and It's all entirely the iPad's fault. Forget the Kindle's millions of sales, the iPad did it. In a technophobic rant to rival all technophobic rants that have come before it, Illinois Representative Jesse Jackson Jr. accuses the iPad's popularity for the current level of unemployment in his nation, before proceeding to sculpt a rickety argument about how the First Amendment to the US Constitution is being exploited for the benefit of China. See his tirade on video after the break.

The traditional home console business is quickly losing revenue share to the smartphone market, according to a new report from mobile analyst firm Flurry.
The report is based only on publicly available data and the company's own estimates, but appears to show that the revenues from smartphone and tablet games rose from 19 per cent of the U.S. portable game software market in 2009 (iOS only), to 34 per cent in 2010 (iOS and Android combined).
At the same time the market share for the Nintendo DS family of consoles fell from 70 per cent to 57 per cent, while the PSP dropped from 11 per cent to 9 per cent.
However, both portable consoles were nearing the end of their lifetime by 2010 - when their revenues might naturally be expected to fall. It is also unclear whether the smartphone revenues represent a true loss in market share on the part of consoles or simply an expansion of the whole category.
However, Flurry characterises Nintendo as, "struggling with its own burning platforming: Nintendo DS". The report is also adamant that smartphone revenues are increasing "at the expense of portable gaming".
Flurry's data for the video games market as a whole in the U.S. suggests that the smartphone and tablet market has risen from 5 per cent in 2009 to 8 per cent in 2010. This is estimated as an increase of $500 million to $800 million.
At the same time portable consoles have fallen from 24 per cent to 16 per cent, while home consoles have increased from 71 per cent to 76 per cent.
Since the report covers only publicly available data this does not include digital sales for any traditional console platform. It also does not include PC titles, although Flurry nevertheless estimates that smartphone and tablet revenues exceeded the estimated $700 million PC games market in 2010.
Although Flurry's data shows Apple's iOS having the high-end smartphone market essentially all to itself in 2009, the Android operating system is now dominant. Apple has closed the gap in recent months though, with the most recent data giving Android a 48 per cent market share, iOS 31 per cent, and RIM 18 per cent.

[Matt] over at Make came up with a way to send push alerts to his iPhone whenever his mailbox is opened.
The electronics are just a switch mounted to the mailbox connected to an Arduino with an ethernet shield, but the interesting part of the build is the code. [Matt] got the Arduino WebClient to request a PHP script sitting on a server. This script connects to the Prowl API to push the notification onto an iPhone.
[Matt]‘s project has been up for a few months now, and we still haven’t seen any projects using an Arduino+Push combo, or really any other phone except for the iPhone. We think this could be done on an Android phone with cloud to device messaging, but that can’t be the only solution. Any hackaday readers have an idea of how to implement this outside the iOS world? What would Hackaday readers do with a microcontroller that can send push alerts to your phone?

Millenial Media’s Mobile Mix report, published yesterday, has revealed that the iOS platform is making some progress in narrowing the gap in market share between it and Android, although Google's operating system is still far ahead.
48 per cent of all smartphones covered in the study were Android, compared to a 31 per cent share for Apple and 18 for RIM. Symbian and Windows phones accounted for 1 per cent each.
The figures were measured via the number of ad hits served on each platform - something which could tip the scales in Android's favour thanks to a higher density of free, add supported apps on the system.
In a reflection of that, the study also found that iOS devices account for 47 per cent of all generated revenue on smartphone, with Android trailing on 36 per cent. RIM machines account for just 7 per cent of revenues.
Earlier this year, Apple released the iPhone 4 onto US carrier Verizon, a market of up to seven millionnew customers after a period of exclusivity on the AT&T network.

Given Apple's track record of adopting newfangled technologies -- you know, like SD slots -- we're going to go ahead and assume Steve Jobs & Co. aren't planning on adding a 3D display to the iPad anytime soon. Now that you've swallowed that distasteful dose of reality, NewSight Japan is inviting you to mod it yourself in a way thankfully doesn't involve performing open-heart surgery on your magical slate. The solution -- whose name we can't decipher on the company's Japanese website -- combines software with a film placed over the display (not to worry, this won't impede mulltitouch gestures). Unfortunately, it doesn't flip 2D images to 3D, so those operating sans a 3D-enabled camera or conversion software are apt to be sorely disappointed. That said, it'd fit right into a utopian universe where 3D movie downloads were the norm.

The Ion iCade, our favorite April Fools' joke turned actual product, has just passed through the FCC and moved one step closer to retail reality. The arcade cabinet for your iPad had all its Bluetoothy bits laid bare and even brought along its user manual, in case you're the type who bothers to read those sordid things. There aren't too many surprises here except, perhaps, the inclusion of an Ikea-esque hex key -- some assembly required. With the green light from the feds, though, that means the iCade is right on schedule for its May 31st release. If you want to ensure you nab one of the first batch, you can pre-order it now for $99 from either GameStop or ThinkGeek. And, while you wait for the blissful marriage of Atari's Greatest Hits and Bluetooth joystick, you can peep the pics in the gallery after the break.

If you're hankering to be riding the very latest mobile software from Apple, hit up your iTunes, for version 4.3.2 of iOS is now available for downloadin' and updatin'. Fixes for occasional "blank or frozen" FaceTime video and iPad 3G issues get top billing, while the obligatory security updates fill out the rest. The size of this mighty software drop? A hefty 666.2MB.
Update: Well, someone's skipping class today. A tethered jailbreak is already in the wilds, if you dare. Thanks, Jeff!
Update 2: Looks like Verizon customers are getting a slightly different update of their own: iOS 4.2.7. It promises only "bug fixes and security updates."

Candella Software has defended its controversial video game Alien Jihad to Eurogamer this afternoon.
Alien Jihad was announced for PC, iOS devices, Android and home consoles this morning.
The premise? A peaceful Earth - where Palestinians and Israelis "party together"; Saudi Arabia booms with mini-skirts; the US, Iran and North Korea create the Axis of Peace; Afghanistan is named the world's safest place; Somalia's economy swells largest; France welcomes back Roma travellers; British MPs decide not to "fiddle" expenses and "rip off" tax payers - is invaded by Aliens from Virginopolis, who flaunt destructive Fatwa technology. "Greedy" Wall Street bankers are turned into alien clones.
"Dick Puffin", leader of "the British Nazi Party", announces that, "We are the aborigines of this land." Former Australian Prime Minister Mr. Howard declares that, "We must invite these aliens to a cricket match. And after they lose, we must do to them what we did to the aborigines."
"Wise geriatric" Italian PM, "Saint Silvio", comments (while receiving "an oil massage from his new underage girlfriend") that, "Our culture is far superior to theirs. It's much better to love bunga bunga girls than these aliens." And "great American rabble rouser Fat Buchanan" broadcasts that, "These aliens pose a clear and present danger to our superior Anglo-Saxon culture."
"It is time for the video games industry to tackle mature subjects affecting millions of people's lives."
Ajith Ram, creative director of Alien Jihad
Alien Jihad gameplay is described as an arcade shooter similar to ancient PC game Star Wars: Rebel Assault. Earned trophies include Greedy Banker, Infidel, Foreclosure King, Bailout Champion, Day of Rage, Tea Party.
Is Alien Jihad for real?
"Yes, it is real," answered Ajith Ram, creative director.
"Naming and connotations are deliberate. The game tries to highlight some of the major political, social and religious issues in the news every day.
"Alien Jihad is a co-production between three small indie developers and all of us believe that it is time for the video games industry to tackle mature subjects affecting millions of people's lives."
Mature subjects, Ram continued, such as "the demonisation of entire Muslim communities due to the violent actions of a minority"; the "rise" of right-wing politics in Europe and the US in reaction to the "perceived" Islamic threat; the classification of some minorities including Roma travellers as "aliens"; the global recession; and the ongoing revolutions spreading throughout the Middle-East that will have "a massive impact on world affairs for decades to come".
"For an industry that pretends to be the art form of the 21st century, games have a strange reluctance to deal with hot topical issues in any form," alleged Ram, "whether the approach to these subjects is humorous or not.
"None of the other art forms have this problem; whether movies, music, art or comics, they have all reflected the topical issues of the day for decades."
Ram used examples such as Bob Dylan singing for peace during the Vietnam War.
"Rarely were they criticised for discussing the burning issue of the day or being unpatriotic," he said. "But when a games studio makes Six Days in Fallujah, all hell breaks loose."
"Surely as the exponents of a new art form, games designers (and publishers) can do better than Italian plumbers, space marines, ninjas and cute animals?"
Ajith Ram, creative director of Alien Jihad
Ram pulls comics into his argument: Judge Dredd depicted hostile post-Third World War world, Ram explained, and the Tom Clancy novels of the 1990s had Palestinian terrorists stealing nuclear bombs to blow up Denver with.
"We even had the usually pussyfooting and politically correct Hollywood portraying a similar story in James Cameron's True Lies," argued Ram. "Quite recently, we had movies like The Infidel (starring Omid Djalili) and Bruno (Sacha Baron Cohen) taking a more comedic approach to Jewish-Muslim issues."
"So why is it," asked Ram, "that the games industry, which now claims to be bigger than box-office Hollywood, has such an enduring problem with global politics? Surely as the exponents of a new art form, games designers (and publishers) can do better than Italian plumbers, space marines, ninjas and cute animals?"
When quizzed about the more personal attacks on "Dick Puffin" - leader of "the British Nazi Party" - clearly a parody of British National Party leader Nick Griffin - Ram countered: "Dick Puffin is a fictional character in the game and not related to anyone. Mr. Griffin's attitudes are also well known."
As for the caricature of Silvio Berlusconi, the British MP expenses scandal and the Middle-East tensions: "All of these were - and some still are - topical issues," answered Ram. "They are quite well covered by the media and there is no reason why a video game should not highlight them as well."
Complex political arguments aside, won't brazenly naming a game Alien Jihad rile Apple and endanger the game's App Store release?
"It remains to be seen," shrugged Ram. "It will not be a problem on the PC which has no censors.
"On other platforms, if the stakeholders have a problem with the title of the game, we'll try renaming it. That's a bridge to cross when we get there."
The "home console" release is more hazy. "[No platforms] that we can specifically mention today," said Ram. "We certainly hope to see the game on consoles in the future."

InfoWorld's Neil McAllister test-drives Flash Player 10.2 for Android 3.0 and finds its shortcomings too sweeping to be chalked up to beta status. 'The worst part is the player's inconsistent behavior. This gets really frustrating when there's lots of HTML and Flash content mixed on a Web page. The UI turns into a tug-of-war between the browser and the Flash Player, where each touch produces varying effects, seemingly at random,' McAllister writes. 'As far as I could tell, there was one thing and one thing only that the Flash Player for Android 3.0 accomplished successfully. On the stock Android browser, Flash content is invisible, so you don't notice Flash-based advertising. With the Flash Player installed, however, all those ads suddenly appear where once there were none, their animated graphics leaping and scuttling under your fingertips like cockroaches on a dinner tray — some achievement.'"http://mobile.slashdot.org/story/11/...ils-To-Impress

Sega may have axed the fan-made remake of Streets of Rage 2 recently, but redemption comes in the form of the original classic arriving on iOS for iPhone.
Similar to Sega's many other iPhone ports, it uses on-screen controls that are large enough to actually work pretty well. It also dons wireless multiplayer via Bluetooth, although you'll need 3rd generation iPhone & iPod touch and 3.x OS or better.
In what we think is a cool added extra, it also comes with original Japanese version of the game, titled Bare Knuckle 2, included. To access it you just have to change your phone's language to Japanese (but don't forget how to change it back).

Sega put a stop to a fan-made remake of Streets of Rage 2 that had been eight years in the making because it said it needed to "to protect our intellectual property rights".
