Hence Apple had to place an official “apology” on the homepage of their website, stating clearly that the contested design was not in any way stolen...
Luckily, we were able to take a few sample photo shots with the new Samsung Windows Phone, the ATIV S, just to … you know, check how its 8 MP camera performs. As far as image quality we have to adlit – no “WOW” effect, though not bad. Not bad at all! The ATIV S seems to be on par...
All HTC’s Windows Phone efforts in the US this autumn have been focused on the high-end, through the Windows Phone 8X. The phone supports both AT&T and T-Mobile HSPA bands, unfortunately however without the LTE that every American carrier would want.

We’ve heard how Steve Jobs threatened a “thermonuclear war” to destroy the Android platform, which he considered a “stolen product”. Yet, the Steve P. Jobs Trust, managed by Job’s own wife, is making very good money from the sale of each Android flavored Motorola DROID branded phone. How ironic!
