HTC Apple pays the same currency and the demand for the infringement of five of its patents
Two months after HTC sue Apple for violating 20 of its patents related to hardware and software on their mobile phones, HTC now will return the coin in the same way, with intended to stop the importation and sale of the iPhone, and iPod IPAD in the United States.
This time the number of patents is lower, staying in five, which the boys had Gizmodo access. They are somewhat complicated to interpret, so I summarize that are related to power management and bookmarks. Here is a gallery with them:

Comparative rates for official IPAD
After the disappointing release of "specific charges" for IPAD that rather seems to have been an attempt to reputation of the traditional carriers, we compare the new arrangements come to extend a the huge new category of fees that exist for connections from the phone and from your computer.
As used to happen with Movistar, Vodafone and Orange have launched the rates are quite similar and the three operators have agreed to offer unlimited traffic to any of their options in exchange for reducing the speed to 128Kbps if contract to exceed the limit but never charged anything extra in the country.
To make the comparison more accurate, we will take into account the VAT rates to avoid any confusion with the prices in your letter published Orange press reports that it is a prepaid mode, tax included.
In addition to these fees, operators will go on sale the new cards necessary MicroSim introduce into the IPAD and in no case will remain associated as of now, we assume that no operator will subsidize.
Ability to share prices in several devices
Movistar has been the only operator that officially will share the same data rate to multiple devices at once and at no extra cost but this option is only available for those who have contracted (or migrate) at a rate of 25 or 39 euros / month.
instead said Vodafone that the rates are independent of the rest IPAD rate although there is always the possibility of a multi-homed (fee of 3 euros per month) to double the data service that can be hired on the computer (Internet rates from 19 euros Contigo / months) and thus share it with the IPAD. For more intensive uses, Vodafone customers can also contract the fee Unlimited Internet Contigo 39 euros / month in a MiFi connection sharing through WiFi.
Orange for its part has made known to prevent multicard ( ECO card) of the IPAD SIM since this service is available to prepaid customers but as equals, may make Vodafone also be activated everywhere contract rates with the MiFi to provide the same benefits in a number of devices time.

The best of the week: get rates IPAD and presents the Palm Pixi Plus in Spain
We passed a week in which the main protagonist has been Vodafone, with different rates and news about the presentation of the Palm Pixi Plus in Spain, we inform you in advance and thanks Matias and our twitter could inform the details live.
Android, a quiet week
During the week we learned that the three terminals of the family of Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 have an Android 2.1 update to official form end of the year. It seems to me a little late, but at least it seems that important developments will be accompanied by the signature and recording video in high definition on the Xperia X10.
Curious also to know the proportion of smartphones by Samsung operating system that they intend to bring to market during 2010 50% of smart phones will be Android, and 33% will be bada. The rest can be attributed to some Symbian and Windows Mobile terminals that are in production.
Last week was quite warm in relation to the debate between supporters and detractors Flah, I am sure you will like to see that such a being spent with HTML5 Nexus One and Flash.
Do not forget we rk says Dropbox has appeared on Google's operating system.
IPhoneâ 4.0
more than the new Apple phone talking about their characteristics on what they discover in development libraries released with the beta 3 of iPhone OS 4.0. As a result we learned that the phone will record video in high definition.
IPAD, rates Movistar, Orange
Without stand against the Vodafone also confirmed that keeps the HD Mini HTC exclusively, and speaking fees this time, we present the Internet with you two hours.
We have had occasion to know the rates for the IPAD offering Movistar and Orange, which I do not seem particularly interesting, especially in the case of the operator Orange. We also inform you about the new commitment of Pepephone, with 4 cents a minute and 400MB.
Symi also presents an interesting rate of 5 cents per minute. Finally, we recommend you have a look at the comparative low cost voice tariffs major carriers by Plokiko.
Other News of Interest
Taking advantage that we can muster a good representation of the main phone on the market have undergone testing HTML5 support, with interesting results.
Another funny story is that the keyboard Swype being a success, the creator of the T9 is projected to spread before the end of the year we find more than 10 million phones.
For tired of failure to complete information on the Nokia N8 last week, in this we make a summary of the latest images found on the network on the actual device, plus a video of your browser running.
We ended up recommending the curious Christian article that has prepared us on how to transform a MicroSim SIM in a conventional way to a hand from anyone.

Apple would enable the sharing of files on their mobile devices with iPhone OS 4.0
Do not need to rub your eyes and reread again and again the owner. One of the new features with version 9.1.1 of iTunes is the possibility of exchanging files between different mobile devices from Apple. Obviously this means that iPhone, iPod and IPAD could use uploaded files directly from your computer via the USB port.
However, for the moment the functionality appears to be activated, as much as we tried, we failed to avail. As we fear that, in addition, Apple also subjected to rigorous controls to third-party applications that can make use of this particular function most likely to be operational with the next iPhone OS 4.0.
(# )
Hidden under the organizer of displays, the Applications tab of iTunes, it gives us the idea that the above exchange can be made bidirectional so, it would be possible to use simple devices like memories to transport files , which in turn can be accessed from different applications. Something that is possible since some programs via Wi-Fi office and with the help of a fixed IP address or organizers of files such as iFile or FileApp Pro
Hence, we consider for a moment what type of applications and files are those which allow developers to Cupertino "circular", and what are the constraints that may be imposed.

Image of the week: the IPAD to complement the iPhone to play
Is one of the nicest pictures of the week and that made me think more. The iPhone is a very interesting platform to play away from home at short intervals, but most of the day was spent playing video games at home where no means cover third screen with our fingers. Is it possible then that the iPhone continues to have interest as a video game indoors?
Supplemented with an IPAD, think so. It is the philosophy of PadRacer, the most reliable way to transport a phone Scalextric. The iPhone is the remote control of the players, and the IPAD is the circuit (board game). Of course, this would be extrapolated to any smartphone tácil complemented with a large screen (this is where I stopped to think ).
Certainly not the cheapest solution is to play at home with a friend (children, not I buy some two and a IPAD iPhone for this), but at least curious. It is noteworthy that is not the first time we see the IPAD board applied as iPhone, might become commonplace:

Announced WWDC 10 for the June 7
All hope that events occur as usual, ie the new iPhone will be present at the developer conference that takes place every year in San Francisco in June, also known as WWDC , which has just been announced that this year will be from 7 to June 11, so we expected to see the new iPhone from Apple's hand the same day in July.
Apart from the more than probable introduction of the iPhone, and it is a developers conference, it is possible that during its course have more news related to the iPhone OS and its applications.
Now we just wait and spend the storm of rumors fakes and others that often accompany the WWDC, but it is likely that the 'event Gizmodo' has diminished quite likely to fantasize about.
Although I personally believe that all is not yet written and that the recent purchase of Intrinsity by Apple-the company responsible for the IPAD A4 processor - can bring us any surprises, but now, later- . It is clear that Apple wants to reinforce its position in the mobile sector getting less consumption without sacrificing the full power and this acquisition, together with the recent purchase of PA Semi, we show that the mobile sector where Apple continues to put more efforts to innovate.

Image of the Week: Steve Wozniak has a message for Gray Powell
Steve Wozniak, one of the three founders of Apple has decided to take a joke the news of the week, we talk about the iPhone 4G prototype Gray Powell lost his hand and came to Gizmodo.
Wozniak has been sending their friends a photo with a T-shirt that sported a message that for some it may seem that more land over to check an employee of Apple, but I think he is trying to empathize with the kid and downplay the matter: "I went to have a drink with Gray Powell and all I got was a lousy ".
iPhone prototype
This kind of jokes are common in Steve Wozniak , but we know that the episode is serious, there is already an open police investigation. The prototype that Powell lost in the bar is the basis of the new 4G iPhone, and Apple is always taken very seriously keep confidential all details of design or specification of their developments.

Scrap the curious case of the iPhone 4G forgotten in a bar
In Engadget Mobile comes to mobile phones and operators, and try to stay out of the soap opera companies around. But let's delve a little more on this curious case of next-generation iPhone that appeared in a bar, given the distrust of many who comment on the news.
That if it remains a Chinese clone that if it is a very primitive prototype, if the iPhone 4G as it is, that if Apple has gone mad, only if the security in Cupertino is not what it was, that if it is a viral marketing campaign ... What is the truth
Who lost and who found it
He lost an Apple software engineer named Gray Powell in a bar in Redwood City, California. Let me predict that this bar will become the Mecca of Apple fanboys from here on out. Continued. This was on 18 March (last month). Legend has it that Gray updated his Facebook stream from the new iPhone and then went home, forgetting the phone at the bar.
The boy was lucky that the prototype was lost until he was messing without battery. He found six pages of applications and the Facebook session started Gray Powell. Engadget gave importance to the event and the rest of the media pay attention. Finally, Gizmodo seized suspected 4G iPhone for five thousand dollars and told Powell that Gray had their phone (not without checking thoroughly before our eyes ).
tests is an iPhone
The first major test before the Gizmodo review of this picture was leaked several months ago that reminded Engadget. When everyone was 99% sure Apple would release a tablet, this capture provided the missing 1%. A leak from a factory sent directly from Apple. By then, all eyes were on the screen of IPAD. Now all diverted to the two appearing iPhone. The top right is almost no doubt, the same we saw yesterday.
But the overhaul of Gizmodo to summarize yesterday was a much stronger test. I even cleared to teach the casings bore the Apple label. Back then, most knew it was a real terminal Cupertino (although many believe that the final product will have nothing to do), but others still thought it was a fake.
Finally, irrefutable evidence came this morning during Spanish. A letter to Gizmodo and signed by Apple requesting that they return your phone:
understand that Gizmodo is in possession of a device that belongs to Apple. This letter is a formal request to return it to us. Please point out where to pick up the unit. Signed: Bruce Sewell.El why skepticism
Why do people refuse to believe this story? Well, first of all because it seems a joke ("They say they come one at a bar and ..."). Also, because Apple boasted a unique security and secrecy in the design of their new releases. And last but a matter of taste, because many have been hit curves and lack of charisma of the new iPhone (or its prototype ).
My opinion is that there is a history impossible. Anyone can forget the phone in a bar (those who follow us on Twitter may recall a shameful update anyone other than us, as did a similar story.) It is true that viral marketing can be extremely smart and cheap, but I would not put his hand in the fire, it is not Apple's style (mainly because they speak free, whether or not mobile in the way).
And finally, about the design and whether or not a primitive prototype ... It is clear that the iPhone needed a change of face, companies like HTC products change constantly face is something plausible. Personally I think it will stay flat, but I hope not with those volume buttons round. And to think that is a prototype is not wrong, but can not be a primitive model, because if Apple was Pillari the bull before the filing on June 22.

Orange will have the end of May IPAD
This week Movistar, Vodafone and Orange announced that they are preparing specific data rates for the IPAD but confirming any of the operators if they sell subsidized or simply because they were preparing IPAD will also be sold off.
Now Orange is ahead of its competitors by announcing on its website that will have the IPAD in late May in Spain (presumably subsidized by remaining close to one of the new rates) but best of all, the little information that shows, for nowhere indicates that the sale is exclusive so knowing that the operators often emphasize enough this point, one might almost say as Movistar and Vodafone also eligible.
(# )
For now we still clues about the rates to be applied but mobile Internet is the future, operators may have to consider tabling specific rates for each device but also solutions in one package including a data service available both for mobile / smartphone to your laptop, IPAD or any other device with Internet connection.
It seems that Appel exclusives are coming to an end whatever the reason but if the iPhone is already sold with several operators in other countries and the IPAD seems to be the same way in Spain How will the new iPhone this summer to all operators? Something tells me that it is likely ... fingers crossed.
