Apple has asked a panel of judges involved in the ongoing appeals of the Apple-Samsung court battle to review two court decisions that allow Samsung to continue to sell products (like the Google Nexus phone) that have already been found to infringe on Apple designs and patents. The crux of Apple’s argument is that by allowing Samsung to continue selling the devices during the appeals process, the courts are allowing damage to continue unfettered—at a cost to the patent holder.
iOS 7 is the make it or break it moment for Apple

My first “smartphone” was a Blackberry that allowed me to tether my laptop to it for Internet access. That Blackberry was replaced by a Curve, which while I loved for sending emails, sucked for pretty much anything else. I didn’t get an iPhone until the iPhone 4 a few years ago and I do love my iOS. I’m not stupid though. I’ve made the jump from Mac to Windows to Mac as necessity deemed right. I’ve played with lots of other OSes, admittedly I haven’t used a newer Android device, and I like to give credit where credit is due. Which is why I have to say: Apple needs to knock iOS 7 out of the park.

I have a lot of respect for Android handsets. Before I switched to the iPhone from my Blackberry (shudder), I looked at the range of Android-powered handsets that were available to me. The Samsung Galaxy III? It is a seriously impressive phone. I would even, gasp, consider an Android phone, if not the fact I have so much invested in iOS (that’s another post entirely). Today, however, Google launched the Nexus 10 and Nexus 4 and seemed to leave something out: Google Nexus 4—a flagship device—doesn’t support LTE.
