BBC News: A German court has upheld a ban on the sale of Samsung’s Galaxy Tab, saying it did infringe Apple patents. It was asked to reconsider a previous ruling that elements of the tablet’s design were copied from the iPad. That decision led to a Europe-wide ban, which was later lifted amid concerns about the court’s power to impose such a broad embargo. The latest hearing went in Apple’s favour and means the Galaxy Tab 10.1 is again banned from sale across Germany. Dusseldorf regional court judge Johanna Brueckner-Hoffmann said that the “minimalist, modern form” of the two products gave a “clear impression of similarity”. In the early stages of the dispute, Apple had won the right for the ban to be imposed continent-wide. However, that was lifted following a challenge by Samsung. (more…)

Engadget: From a gadgeteer’s point of view, one of the best things about the Olympics is its tendency to bring in new technologies to the hosting city. Take the 2012 games, for example: not only are the London Underground stations getting WiFi hotspots, but news has it that Samsung and Visa are holding hands to deliver NFC mobile payment solutions to the city. In fact, more than 60,000 locations in London are already geared up with contactless payment systems, and right now Visa is negotiating with banks to get its contactless cards and mobile phones approved. For the latter, one such device will be Samsung’s Olympic and Paralympic Games mobile handset that comes with a Visa-enabled SIM card, and it’ll be made available to sponsored athletes as well as various retailers. Furthermore, this alliance will continue after the Olympics, and Visa is rolling out its mobile payment system in many other countries as we speak, so it shouldn’t be long before we hear more Visa handset announcements.

Follow Me shows video of the street in front of you using the camera of the phone or tablet and adds a virtual 3D car driving in front of you. Indicator lights flash to tell you where to turn left or right.
