Article link.
I can't speak to the thousands
of apps that applanet claimed to have available. I can only speak to the
handful of smartphone games which I browsed and acquired.
The games I
browsed contained links to what appeared to be official sites for the app which
included costs associated in order to get the full version of each of the games.
Additionally, they provided much smaller and limited free versions of the games
for download - a trial if you will. At least that's how I viewed
them.
That leaves me wondering if this is another situation where a lot
more legitamit apps were harmed by the targeting of the allegedly illegal
apps.
I say allegedly because that does still have to actually be proven
by Law. At least, if the DOJ honestly believes it has a case, it will prove it
by Law and won't just be exercising shutdown powers just to shutdown a
site.
Additionally, I wonder how much Apple might have played a role in
the background with regards starting to feel the threat to their own smartphone
app stores relative to the amount of software apps available. Did Apple add
it's own voice to the complaints solely in an effort to shut down a
competitor?
Would certainly be some interesting information to find out,
that's for sure.

Is there any point of comparison between what Google is reported to be doing to
Alibaba and Apple suing Samsung? Both Google and Apple seem to have the
same attitude towards denying competition in the market, using their IP to do
it.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Uniquely
Android: Llama
Oh! Now I also have a rule to turn the lock off when
I enter home and on again when leaving.
Heh its a real geekfest!
The
tab for teaching Llama your cells is eye opening as well
I have set it for 8
hours for "Home" and it has picked up 8 cells so far - details on the recent
tab.
* INTRO
Llama uses phone masts to determine your location, so
that you can change your ringer, vibrate and ringtones depending on where you
are as well as the time of day. Llama provides you with sound profiles so you
can quickly switch between quiet, loud, silent and normal sound settings. You
can set your family, wife and children to ring even if your phone is set to
silent! You can create events and home screen shortcuts to manage your sound
profiles and more:
-Silence your phone at work
-Turn your Bluetooth
on ready to connect your headset for a morning run
-Set your phone quiet
when it's late at night and you haven't gone out
-Start the music player
when a headset is connected
Hah more fun than should be legal

Intel said Clover Trail "is a Windows 8 chip"
and that "the
chip
cannot run Linux".
[...]
Given that Intel said Clover Trail takes a lot of
technology
from its Medfield Atom processor, which runs Android on a
number of
middling smartphones, it seems that Chipzilla is
putting up an artificial
barrier to try to help Microsoft
and its upcoming Windows 8 operating
system.
[...]
When the PC market speaks, Intel and Microsoft might well
find that Clover Trail is a dead end.

Surely they should go to California and have a Californian court tell Apple that
they can't enforce a German Court Ruling.
