We finally have a verdict in the high-profile Apple-Samsung patent infringement lawsuit, and it involves Samsung paying Apple $290 million for copying key features of both the iPhone and iPad for its own line of smartphones and tablets.
The jury’s verdict covers 13 of the 26 Samsung devices.
Last month HTC unveiled its much-anticipated One Max, as a dramatically upscaled variant to the immensely popular high-end Android-powered smartphone, the HTC One, and now Verizon have officially announced that the phablet is available to purchase on any of its 2-year contracts starting at $299 or for $25.22 a month with Verizon’s very own Edge plan.
If you’re a forgetful smartphone owner who likes to leave their device in cabs and coffee shops, then why not make it easier for people to return your handset to you by adding your contact details to the lock screen? It’s quick and easy to do, and it’s a feature that built right into Android, so you don’t even need a third-party app.
To everyone’s surprise, Verizon became the first carrier to roll out an Android 4.4 KitKat update for the Motorola Moto X earlier this week, but it seems those on AT&T won’t have to wait too much longer, either. The company just kicked off its KitKat soak test for the device, which sees a small number of users invited to try the software early.
The HBO Go apps for Android and iOS have today been updated with support for Google’s Chromecast. The feature works on Android smartphones and tablets running Android 2.3 Gingerbread and above, and on iPhones and iPads running iOS 6 and above.
