Sony Wins VS. LG in PS3 Patent Dispute
Last Updated on Thursday, 10 March 2011 03:38 Written by Naota Thursday, 10 March 2011 03:34
As many of you know, LG recently sued Sony over violating a patent in the PS3. During this process, LG was able to have 300,000 shipments of the PS3 stopped in Europe. After a speedy trial, a decision was made.
The outcome…
All 300,000 PS3s will now returned to Sony. They will be able to be shipped to Europe and Sony is allowed to continuing shipping. Additionally, LG will be forced to pay Sony 130,000 euros for court fees. LG has one day to return the PS3s. Each day they are late, they will be fined an additional 200,000 euros.
Now that the dispute for halting the shipments is over, stay tuned for additional information on the result of the patent violation.

Greetings Geek Montage viewers! We decided to get rid of the pop up ad on our website. Although this was the primary source of payment for our server, we decided that we’d rather take a loss in revenue than have our users have to deal with the annoyance that comes from popup ads. We hope you like the change!

T-Mobile to Be Acquired by…. Sprint!?
Last Updated on Thursday, 10 March 2011 10:56 Written by Naota Thursday, 10 March 2011 10:56
T-Mobile and Sprint have currently been talking with each other a lot lately. Deutsche Telekom, the owner of the T-Mobile USA subsidiary, is considering spinning off T-Mobile USA.
While these two carriers have many users, both haven’t been able to hold a dominant marketshare over AT&T and Verizon. This acquisition certainly would boost Sprint’s userbase by a significant amount.
The real challenge here is actually the technology behind it all. Sprint uses CDMA technology that operates without a Sim Card and on a different frequency from T-Mobile’s GSM (Sim Card) technologies.
Will users one day get to use either technologies? Will this acquisition go more smoothly then when Sprint and Nextel merged? At the moment no, as both companies cannot agree on how much T-Mobile USA is worth. Only time will tell.
