Apple wins U.S. preliminary injunction against the Samsung/Google Galaxy Nexus over Siri patent

Judge Lucy Koh of the United States District Court for the Northern District of California has just granted Apple a preliminary injunction against the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, an Android-based smartphone co-developed by Samsung and Google.

In the meantime, Google dropped the unlocked Galaxy Nexus price by $50 at Google Play Store; from $399 to $349. Better get it before the ban took effect.

Apple iPhone Turns Five Years Old.

Apple iPhone went on sale on June 29th, 2007; that’s five years to the day. Yes, it is five years old, and I am using it again just for today.

I am looking forward to the next iPhone which will be unveiled in 3 months.
