| HTC might get the iPhone and iPad banned in the US? Posted: 10 Sep 2012 12:13 PM PDT Apple is gearing up to launch their next “not-so-revolutionary” device known as iPhone 5 in the coming days, and we know that Apple is literally not in a good relationship with Samsung and HTC. Well, after all the “lawsuit-games” played by Apple, it’s time for Apple to taste their own medicine. According to a US judge, Apple may have trouble invalidating two patents held by HTC, related to data transmission. Actually the patents are critical to 4G LTE technology, and it could lead to a ban on the new iPad and the iPhone. HTC purchased the 4G patents back in 2011, for a big amount of 75 million dollars, however HTC can easily go after Apple for a billion dollars now, if everything works according to the plan. Also the judge is on HTC’s side, not because he’s a huge fan of HTC or they gave him a gold plated One X, just because the patents are property of HTC. He told Apple’s lawyer Michael McKeon "I don't care if they bought these patents to sue you or not. They are a property right “, so someone is in a big trouble. If the iPhone 5 is launched with LTE connectivity, I am sure they will be facing a big problem from HTC. The war between both giants are on from last two years, and this might be the chance when HTC can take the lead for Android. Let’s sit back, relax, and wait for the iPhone 5. Folks, tell us what are your thoughts about this, do you think Android can finally take down Apple in the lawsuit war? Tell us in the comment box below.

| Game Genome Project aims to change Android game discovery Posted: 10 Sep 2012 09:55 AM PDT Wouldn’t it be nice if you could plug in your own gaming preferences into a system and have it spit out recommendations that actually deliver the right results?

| Sprint 4G LTE network will grow by 100 markets over next few months Posted: 10 Sep 2012 07:36 AM PDT Sprint today announced that its 4G LTE network will grow substantially over the next few months. A press release tells us that major markets such as Boston, Chicago, Indianapolis, Los Angeles, Memphis, Miami Nashville, New Orleans, New York, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C. are on tap to get the new network. Although Sprint does not outline a specific time frame, we expect these to be ready by end of the year. Speaking of which, Sprint remains committed to building out its entire 4G LTE footprint by the end of 2013. The press release below lists the 100 markets which should anticipate the build out soon. Sprint 4G LTE Available in More Than 100 Additional Cities in the Coming Months OVERLAND PARK, Kan. (BUSINESS WIRE), September 10, 2012 – Continuing its aggressive momentum in delivering a top-tier network experience for customers, Sprint (NYSE:S) announced today that the 4G LTE network build is under way in more than 100 additional cities within its existing nationwide 3G footprint. Some of the major metropolitan areas in which Sprint 4G LTE is expected to be available in the coming months are Boston; Charlotte, N.C.; Chicago; Indianapolis; Los Angeles; Memphis, Tenn.; Miami; Nashville, Tenn.; New Orleans; New York; Philadelphia; and Washington, D.C. "We are committed to delivering a cutting-edge network as quickly as possible, one that provides a greater level of reliability and speed to our 3G and 4G customers," said Bob Azzi, senior vice president-Network, Sprint. "We know our customers depend on their mobile devices as their primary source of communication, business connectivity and entertainment. We want to deliver a network that delivers mobile access, productivity and entertainment at a highly competitive price point." The 4G LTE Network build is under way in the following areas: Aguadilla-Isabela-San Sebastian, Puerto Rico During the pre-launch phase, customers with capable 4G LTE devices may begin to see 4G LTE coverage in these areas and are welcome to use the network even before it officially launches. Sprint plans to announce commercial availability of 4G LTE in these cities in the coming months, at which point we expect coverage, performance and reliability to get even better. Eventually, the markets will fill in until coverage largely matches the existing nationwide 3G footprint. By the end of 2013, Sprint expects to have completed the nationwide build out of the all new 3G and 4G network. Currently, Sprint offers the new 4G LTE service in 19 metropolitan areas: Atlanta; Athens, Ga.; Baltimore; Calhoun, Ga.; Carrollton, Ga.; Newnan, Ga.; Rome, Ga.; Dallas; Fort Worth, Texas; Gainesville, Ga.; Granbury-Hood County, Texas; Houston; Huntsville, Texas; Kansas City, Mo./Kansas City, Kan.; Manhattan/Junction City, Kan.; San Antonio, Texas; Sedalia, Mo.; Waco, Texas; and St. Joseph, Mo. According to management consulting firm Chetan Sharma Consulting, mobile data is expected to comprise 95 percent of the global mobile traffic by 2015. Sprint's network strategy, known as Network Vision, is designed to meet these growing demands. With Network Vision, customers can expect to benefit from an updated 3G network and new 4G LTE network, enabling expanded coverage, improved network reliability, better voice quality, and faster data speeds as the improvements are rolled out across the country. "The mobile industry is going through an incredible change – smartphones, connected devices, and the seemingly unlimited supply of new applications and services are changing consumer behavior in dramatic ways," said Chetan Sharma, founder and president at Chetan Sharma Consulting. As part of its overall network strategy, Sprint is also doing a complete overhaul of its 3G infrastructure so that customers can enjoy better wireless signal strength, in-building coverage, and fewer dropped/blocked calls. These enhancements are now available to customers in several markets across the country, with significant deployment in Baltimore, Boston and Washington, D.C., and will continue to improve in the weeks and months ahead. Sprint was the first national wireless carrier to introduce 4G on the WiMAX network in 2008 and began rolling out 4G LTE to customers on July 15 in Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, San Antonio and surrounding cities. Unlimited + Sprint 4G LTE = Game-changing wireless offer for customers In today's competitive wireless market, the value of unlimited has never been more apparent and Sprint is clearly the best choice in wireless. Customers with capable devices can combine Sprint's all-new 3G and 4G LTE networks and enjoy unlimited data while on the Sprint network. Data usage continues to increase and consumers value Truly Unlimited data because it's simple and straightforward – no metering, no throttling, and no need to share data, which increases the likelihood of a surprise monthly bill because of overage charges. Coupled with unbeatable plans and fast devices, Sprint has been working hard to deliver the best customer experience in the past few years. The 2012 American Customer Satisfaction Index ranked Sprint No. 1 among all national carriers in customer satisfaction and most improved, across all 47 industries measured, over the last four years. And Sprint has been ranked Highest in Satisfaction with the Purchase Experience among Full-service Wireless Providers three times in a row by J.D. Power and Associates. Sprint's Network Vision project expects to be largely complete with the all-new network by the end of 2013.
