You have thinking that in 2012 Samsung and Apple will reconcile and will forget about the processes that are now on the role of courts across the globe? If so then you know that you cheated badly because Samsung is determined to act sued Apple in more countries next year.

The process will be based on the patents for 3G technologies, ones that some courts have said as part of standard FRAND. The first part of 2012 seems to be the time when Samsung plans to start, most lawsuits against Apple now remains to be seen how many of them will be successful.

Australia Federal Court Justice Annabelle Bennett today ordered that a trial on Samsung’s claims be held in March. Cupertino, California-based Apple had opposed an early trial, with its lawyer Stephen Burley saying the company needed more time to prepare the case and favored a hearing in August.

Unfortunately there was no way for users to benefit from these legal disputes that eventually will find a vendor that Android handset to have the courage to block sales of iDevice although Motorola hadn’t.

I hope that one day an Android handset manufacturer to ban the sales of iDevice in a particular country to give to Apple to understand that the issues with iDevices and OS are more important than “fighting” on patents.

Seeing that has no chance to block sales of the iPhone 4S patents for technologies in telecommunications, Samsung now requires a court from Australia to force Apple to show them the source code of iPhone 4S as well as that Apple plan grants the operators agreed with the Australian . Basically Samsung wants to check the source code to see what iPhone 4S patents violate the Cupertino Company’s device and this is a sign that Samsung has not really what to attack Apple in court.

On the other hand seems exaggerated the application to view on subsidies offered contracts by Australian operators for iPhone. Samsung says the subsidies offered for the iPhone are so great that operators can not provide subsidies for smartphones Asian companies. From my point of view it shows the desperation of demand from poor sales on Samsung and their devices in Australia.

Operators can enter into contracts as they wish subsidies given that everything is done to increase sales the devices that have the greatest popularity among consumers. In Australia Apple managed to block the sales of Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and is very likely that iPhone sales not to be blocked considering the applications from Samsung.

Apple is testing the screens still from the last year for iPad 3 but at present their implementation in a tablet depends on Samsung and LG. Retina Display for iPad 3 would have a resolution of 2048×1536 and 264 pixels per inch, Apple practically doubling the resolution and pixel density.

Now Apple has such screens in tests on tablets but the problem is that Samsung and LG do not have a manufacturing system effectively enough to enable them to produce such screens in large quantities.

Those from CNET say that production of these screens should start in November of this year but now everything is on a theoretical level because Samsung and LG do not have a manufacturing process in place. Interesting is that these screens have a brightness of 550 nits to 350 which has a laptop, so we talk about major improvements from this point of view. T

hose from CNET say that the screens designed by Apple using a technological process used for the first time this kind of products and basically this is the problem. There would not be excluded to see Retina Display in iPad 3, but would not be excluded that Apple will continue with the same screen and same resolution.

3 months ago Apple announced to amaze the whole world that has sold no less than 20 million smartphones in a single quarter. For Apple we talking then that were a record and thanks to Apple become the largest manufacturer of smartphones in the world surpassing the company Nokia for first time in history. A few days ago Apple announced that it sold 17.1 million smartphones last quarter and put sales appeared weak in mind rumors about a possible launch of iPhone 5.

Today we learn that Samsung would be shipped 20 million smartphones to its partners worldwide, the figure is 3 million units higher than for Apple. In theory this difference should rank as the largest producer Samsung smartphone in the world, right? The situation might be slightly different because the information did not actually say how many units sold but said it delivered 20 million to its partners. Given that both companies use different terms for cataloging these “sales” is really hard to say whether or not Samsung surpassed Apple.

The information is currently only estimates made by analysts Americans and we all know how well they guess what is expected to announce big companies now so Apple remains on the first place, a place you might lose it next week when Samsung will announce financial results.
