Now Android manufacturers are striking back in ways Apple’s legal team didn’t imagine. * Time for an exit strategy? Apple could be preparing to sue Google directly over Android * source (http://www.infoworld.com/d/the-industry-standard/apple-preparing-legal-assault-google-over-android-171973) * In a filing for their case against HTC (the oldest Android patent case going now) Apple is now claiming that Andy Rubin had access to certain information that eventually let to iOS/iPhone/iPad over 20 years ago! * Kind of a stretch, but one should be concerned because Andy Rubin is now THE Android guy at Google.

Get yours today at Carbonite.com! (http://bit.ly/carbtpn) Big News The Google v Microsoft Drama This thing has been beat to death this week. We’ve been covering the patent problem lately a lot, so let me just quickly summarize and then try to key you in on what’s to come. Google was out-bid by a consortium of tech companies for a group of patents being sold from the now defunct Novell. The consortium that out-bid them was formed by Apple, Microsoft, RIM, and Sony, with some others. Google needed/wanted these patents to use as a “mutually assured destruction” threat to help protect Android from IP lawsuits from other competing firms. There was a lot of great drama with week going back and forth between Google and Microsoft on the politics of this thing. It boils down to Google admitting they wanted these patents for lawsuit defense. They don’t like playing the game like this, but this is how they’re being forced to play to remain competitive. Now the government will be investigating whether buying these patents to essentially form an IP cartel is illegal or not. Another consortium led by Apple and Microsoft bought patents by Nortel as well. But Google is attacking the problem from several different angles. They closed a deal buying a huge block of patents from IBM and you can bet they are trolling for other opportunities as well. The short of it is that Google is finally taking the patent threat against Android seriously. Fragmentation is so 2010. The new “Android is dead” meme is Patent lawsuits. The next big thing is the InterDigital patent portfolio coming up for bid. This one looks like it might be a free-for-all with all companies competing for the patents instead of forming a consortium. Here’s a great TechCrunch video exploring the whole thing if you want to dive in more. link (http://techcrunch.com/2011/08/06/omg-jk-patents/) Quick News We have a map of the Android/iOS civil war in the United States source (http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2390580,00.asp) The first real remixed HoneyComb UI has come out. It’s from Samsung called TouchWiz UX. source (http://www.slashgear.com/samsung-touchwiz-ux-review-with-galaxy-tab-10-1-05169937/) Android is the least open source of all open mobile platforms source (http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2011/08/android-least-open-platform/) Sure Android is open source, but it is developed in secret and the full code is only released when Google is good and ready to release it. They comply and release GPL code right away, but there isn’t really a legal requirement to release the rest of the Android code, everybody just thought they would just not be evil and release the code. HoneyComb changed all that.

Customer Reviews
Good content, problems since iOS4
Have enjoyed the content, but it will not play on my 2G iPod Touch since upgrading to iOS4. Spent a couple of hours with Applecare tech support, restored the Touch, and no success. They suspect the 128k encoding. Has happened with Episodes 22, 23, 24, 25. I have not re-downloaded earlier episodes to test.
Boring
