Judge rejects Oracle's plan to speed Android trial

BOSTON - A judge on Friday shot down Oracle Corp.'s offer to put its Java patent-infringement claims against Google over the Android mobile OS on hold, in exchange for a speedier trial on its copyright claims.

Oracle sued Google in August 2010, claiming Android violated a number of Java copyrights and patents. Google has denied wrongdoing, saying Android uses a "clean-room" implementation of Java that doesn't infringe on Oracle's intellectual property. 
Oracle earlier last week, seemingly eager to get the long-simmering case to trial as soon as possible. 

"The piecemeal approach suggested by Oracle as a trial alternative will not be adopted," Judge William Alsup said in the ruling filed Friday in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. "The [court's schedule] simply does not permit that luxury. If Oracle wishes to voluntarily dismiss any damages claim, it will have to do so with prejudice; otherwise, a dismissal is nothing more than an invitation to piecemeal litigation."

One proposal within Oracle's alternative plan would have seen the company's patent claims dismissed without prejudice, meaning it could revive them at a later date. Under another proposed scenario, Alsup would "sever and stay" the patent claims for nine months.

The judge has previously ruled the trial would take place in up to three phases covering patent, copyright and damages issues, all heard by the same jury, and seems intent on preserving that plan.

Alsup has been assigned to a large-scale prosecution of alleged gang members, "which has resulted in four lengthy trials, including one underway now, without any relief from the remainder of his normal caseload," he wrote in Friday's ruling. "This has led to a backlog of trial-ready cases waiting their turn."

The judge recently said he won't set a trial date until Oracle [Nasdaq: ORCL] submits an acceptable damages methodology. In his ruling Friday, Alsup granted Oracle's expert the go-ahead to make a third try.

If all goes well, the case could "could still possibly be tried starting mid-April," but if not, it will probably slip until the last four months of this year, Alsup wrote. "This order, however, gives no assurances as to when the case can be tried."

In a filing late Wednesday, Google offered a lukewarm response to Oracle's proposed alternative trial plan, referring to it only in passing. "With respect to Oracle's extensive discussion of potential alternative trial plans, those same issues were briefed by the parties and decided by the Court just last week, and the Court did not ask the parties for further comment on those issues," the filing stated.

Google has previously argued that the case should be stayed pending a number of ongoing patent reexaminations by U.S. patent authorities, saying that the outcome could streamline the issues in dispute.

Android Comodo Mobile Security and Antivirus app available

As most of the Android faithful would admit, the Android platform is susceptible to malware and viruses and there are several antivirus, anti-malware and other anti bad gear apps available on the Android Market, but now you can download the Comodo Mobile Security Free AV app to protect your Android device from all that nastiness.

According to the guys over at Android Police, the Comodo Mobile Security Free AV app for android first and foremost as one would expect the Comodo Android app is an antivirus/anti-malware; however the application does offer a subset of useful tools.

This subset of tools included privacy protection that enables the user to keep certain information like SMS and a specific contacts list confidential, a process/task manager, and an SMS/call blocking tool, which can be used to filter out unwanted texts and calls by way of a simple black and white list.

With the Comodo Mobile Security Free AV app virus protection is ‘always on’ and there is also an ‘on demand’ scanner so you can scan and keep your smartphone or tablet free from unsafe applications and viruses.

On a personal note I use Comodo Internet Security on my PC and have no problem with it, so perhaps the Comodo Mobile Security Free AV app offers the same for your mobile device. So if you wish to take advantage of Comodo for Android you can download the app for free from theAndroid Market.

If you have enjoyed this Phones Review article feel free to add me to your circles on Google+ and I will of course add you back.

Android and Windows Phone creep up on Apple iOS

The future is looking less than rosy for Apple's iOS mobile platform, if new research reports by analyst houses Ovum and IHS iSuppli are to be believed.

Ovum's second annual developer survey, released today, states that Android could replace iOS in terms of importance to developers within the next 12 months, and that momentum is growing behind BlackBerry OS and Microsoft's Windows Phone.

According to Adam Leach, devices and platforms practice leader at Ovum and author of the research, some developers are starting to focus their efforts on web-based standards such as HTML5, which can be used to build cross-platform applications. However most developers are still using vendor-specific distribution channels, such as the Android Market, to deploy applications.

“A smartphone platform’s success is dictated not only by the pull of consumers and the push of handset vendors and mobile operators but also by a healthy economy of applications delivered by third-party developers,” said Leach.

“Therefore, it is important for all players in the smartphone ecosystem to understand the choices developers are making today and the downstream impact of those choices.”

Meanwhile, a separate report published last week by supply chain analysts IHS iSuppli suggests that Microsoft's Windows Phone will overtake Apple's iOS by 2015, driven largely by “strong support” from Nokia.

IHS predicts that Windows Phone will reach 16.7 percent of market share in 2015, behind first-ranked Android at 58.1 percent and just slightly ahead of iOS at 16.6 percent. The analyst said the introduction of the Lumia 900 running Windows Phone 7.5 (Mango) at CES showed Microsoft's and Nokia's promise in smartphones.

Windows Phone made up only 1.9 percent of the market for all of 2011, according to IHS, with Apple's iOS at 18 percent and Android smartphones by all makers at 47.4 percent.

US Android users prefer Samsung, says new study

Samsung’s almost literally on top of the world when it comes to mobile phone sales, and apparently that’s with good reason. Researcher iGR stated in its latest news release that among US Android buyers, Samsung was the most proffered brand, followed by Motorola and HTC. Among the top three, Samsung is the only brand with a positive outcome from the last quarter – while all are selling well, Samsung is far and away the most profitable at the moment, both in the US and abroad.

According to research from late last year, iGR estimates that 47 percent of United States smartphone owners use Android, compared to 24 percent which use an iPhone. (Note that the iPhone is now available on three out of four of the largest carriers in the country.) Among Android users, almost half researched their purchase beforehand and specifically chose an Android phone, and 27% of Android owners chose Android specifically because of its association with Google. From the study: ” …27 percent of Android users said that they selected an Android smartphone because they believed that Google was a ‘reputable company’ and therefore inferred that Android must also be reputable.”

With Samsung’s flagship Galaxy S line selling 30 million phones worldwide and an extremely wide range of price points available, Samsung seems to be winning the Android market with sheer force. HTC, LG and Motorola, the other three major Android OEMs, have product lines that are comparatively thin and spread out across multiple US carriers. Just as an example: among the Android Community writers at CES, four Samsung Galaxy Nexus and one Galaxy S II could be found, with an AT&T Galaxy S II Skyrocket as a backup. The only other Android phone brought was a Verizon LG Revolution, also a backup device. It’s fair to say that Samsung is kicking butt and taking names as far ass Android goes – but they shouldn’t be cocky. The same could be said of Motorola in the fall of 2009, and of HTC in mid 2010. Who knows who’ll end up on top as 2012 plays out.
