Wireless Charger Uses Ultrasound To Power Your The patent cases in the U.S. have come with bigger awards for damages than other countries.

In a separate 2012 jury verdict, Samsung was ordered to pay Apple Passwords $930 million. Samsung appealed. MERGERS & ACQUISITIONS Some analysts said the two companies would eventually bury the hatchet and sign a cross-licensing deal, following the usual pattern of patent cases in the technology industry. There were earlier signs that Facebook Is Acquiring tensions had eased between two companies. The two agreed to drop their appeals at the U.S. PrivateCore, a Cybersecurity International Trade Commission in June.

Intelligence Not all outcomes from the patent actions were damaging to Samsung and Apple. While the two rivals faced damage claims and sales bans of old products here and there, Samsung vaulted to the leading INDUSTRY REPORTS position in the global smartphone market during the last three years. Analyst: With Just 1.3% Share In U.S., Microsoft May Need The series of high-stake lawsuits over some of the world's most popular gadgets began in April, 2011 To Abandon Smartphones when Apple accused Samsung, the maker of Galaxy phones, of slavishly copying the iPhone. Samsung responded by charging Apple of stealing its mobile technology. mobile-tech-today.com Sprint And T-Mobile Shares Plunge After Reportedly Abandoning Merger Plans August 5, 2014 Sprint and T-Mobile may not be getting together after all. Shares of the two companies plunged in after- hours trading Tuesday after The Wall Street Journal reported Sprint had given up an attempt to acquire its fellow mobile carrier. Connect with Us www.ksrinc.com P a g e | 2 The deal would have united the nation's third- and fourth-largest wireless companies into a combined entity with a subscriber total to rival that of industry leaders AT&T and Verizon. Such a deal would have drawn a lengthy review from federal antitrust officials, who have the power to nix merger agreements. Sprint cited this regulatory challenge in explaining its decision to abandon the T-Mobile deal, the Journal reported, citing an anonymous source. Bloomberg, meanwhile, reported late Tuesday that Sprint plans to announce a new CEO to replace current chief executive Dan Hesse. Representatives for both companies declined to comment. Sprint now faces the task of charting a new path forward to compete in the U.S. wireless market. Masayoshi Son, CEO of Sprint parent SoftBank, calls the U.S. wireless industry a duopoly, and expressed doubts earlier this year that either Sprint or T-Mobile can compete going forward without joining forces. T-Mobile, meanwhile, may find another suitor. The company's shares surged last week on news that it had received a $15 billion takeover offer from French telecom company Iliad. Iliad would be less likely than Sprint to face antitrust challenges given that it has no footprint in the U.S. at present. cnn.com Products & Services Blu Debuts $89 Unlocked, Spec'ed Out Android Phones August 7, 2014 If you haven’t heard of Blu Products, chances are you are going to hear a lot more about the Miami- based smartphone brand in the days ahead. That’s because the company just rolled out new Android “Blu is rolling out the new devices -- unlocked -- for as little as $89. Studio C Series, which will be Blu is rolling out the new Studio C Series, which will be compatible with any GSM network Relevant compatible with any GSM Products/Services in the United States. That means consumers can use the phone on T-Mobile, AT&T, network Relevant Metro PCS, Cricket Wireless and a slew of other GSM networks. Blu was founded in 2009 and has sold Products/Services in the over 8 million devices in over 40 countries. United States.” "Blu is dedicated to continue bringing consumers choice in the way of unlocked smartphones, driven by the demand for affordable quality devices and the freedom of selecting their airtime provider, thus by eliminating the dependency of locked devices which the network carrier has to offer," said Samuel Ohev-Zion, CEO of Blu Products. The lineup starts with the Studio 5.0 C HD and Studio C mini, which are now selling on Amazon.com. The devices are unlocked with Dual-SIM support and run the Android 4.4 KitKat OS. The Studio 5.0 C models are powered by quad-core 1.3GHz mobile Relevant Products/Services processors to accommodate 4G HSPA+ networks. They sell for $149. For its part, the Studio 5.0 C HD features a 5-inch HD IPS screen with 294 ppi pixel density. It carries an 8-megapixel autofocus rear camera, including LED Flash, and full HD 1080p recording, as well as a 2-megapixel front-facing camera.

The Studio 5.0 C will sell for $109 while the Studio 5.0 CE will sell for $89. Connect with Us www.ksrinc.com P a g e | 3 We caught up with Roger Entner, a principal analyst at Recon Analytics, to get his thoughts on the new Studio C line up. He told us; first off, the devices are selling at a really good price. “At a time when we are seeing more device financing and more people are buying their own devices, the price points make it really affordable. Smartphone growth lies in devices that generally are under $100 for over four inches of screen size,” Entner said. “Some of these devices come in a little bit above $100, but if [they have] enough premium features it could make it very interesting. You can buy five Blus for the price of one Galaxy and the Galaxy is certainly not five times better,” he added. mobile-tech-today.com Lenovo's New Flagship Features Quad HD Screen, Metal Body and Huge Battery August 5, 2014 Lenovo isn't exactly well-known for its smartphones this side of the Pacific, but it's got a solid following in Asia. Now, Motorola's soon-to-be parent company is showing off more of its mobile chops with a six- inch Quad HD (2,560x1,440) flagship device called the Vibe Z2 Pro. Besides the super high-res display, the Pro's not lacking in other features: For starters, it'll come with a metallic brushed-weave unibody frame and 4,000mAh battery, which is more than generous even with the phone's large chassis (to compare, the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is 3,200mAh and the HTC One Max is 3,300). At 7.7mm, the Pro is reasonably thin (and hopefully not so thin that it's difficult to hold, like on the Sony Xperia Z Ultra), and it weighs 179 grams (6.31 ounces), which isn't out of the ordinary for a metallic phone of this size.
