EU investigates Motorola after Apple, Microsoft complaints
European regulators are investigating whether phone maker Motorola Mobility overcharged Apple and Microsoft for use of its patents in products such as the iPhone and Xbox, in violation of antitrust laws.
The European Commission, the antitrust watchdog of the 27-country European Union, said it has opened two investigations into whether Motorola is requiring unfair fees for licensing its patents essential for 2G and 3G wireless technology standards as well as for Wi-Fi connection and H.264 video compression, based on grievances filed by Apple and Microsoft, respectively.
The formal investigations were announced after both companies complained to the commission that Motorola, which is being acquired by Google, was using legal injunctions against their key products to gain an edge in the market. This comes as the EU has recently heightened its scrutiny of suspected abuse regarding essential patents.
The commission said it "will assess whether Motorola has abusively, and in contravention of commitments it gave to standard setting organizations, used certain of its standard essential patents to distort competition."
Motorola Mobility already received a warning from the commission against aggressive patent enforcement when the commission approved Google Inc.'s $12.5-billion takeover of the cellphone maker in February.
"Motorola is asking for the moon, and if such out-of-this-world royalty demands don't trigger antitrust intervention," wrote intellectual property analyst Florian Mueller, "antitrust enforcement agencies will probably never take action against those attempting to force implements of standards into agreements on anticompetitive terms."
Google's $12.5-billion bid for Motorola Mobility would be the largest acquisition in the Californian company's history once it gets full regulatory approval. The U.S. also cleared the deal, which was announced last summer, but it still needs approval from China.
This investigation comes on the heels of Microsoft's announcement Monday that it plans to relocate its European distribution center from Germany to the Netherlands over patent disputes.
"We have a great relationship with Arvato, and we are pleased with the quality of their service. But Motorola's refusal to live up to its patent promises has left us no choice," Microsoft said in a statement. "We would have preferred to keep our European distribution centre with Arvato in Germany as it has been for many years, but unfortunately the risk of disruption from Motorola's patent litigation is simply too high."
Motorola is suing Microsoft in Germany over the H.264 video compression codec. This suit, central to Microsoft's complaint to the commission, accuses the software maker of using its patents in Windows 7, Xbox, Internet Explorer 7 and Windows Media Player without permission. A ruling from the Mannheim Regional Court is due April 17.
Virgin Mobile hit by national data, SMS outage
Virgin Mobile USA is recovering from a national outage that has left customers across the country without data or text messaging service.
The network problems were confirmed by the prepaid provider in posts on its Twitter and Facebook accounts late yesterday afternoon.
"We are currently experiencing a national data & text messaging outage," the company said on its Facebook page.
A company spokeswoman said today that the interruption in service has since been resolved, and the problem stemmed from one of its servers.
"We did have some issues yesterday related to a server," she said. "In most cases, it required customers to remove their battery and restart the device."
Virgin Mobile is one of Sprint's prepaid brands and runs its voice, data and SMS service on Sprint's CDMA EVDO network. Its Facebook page has been inundated with comments about the outage, with some customers reporting their service was momentarily restored, only to blink out again.
Neither Sprint nor its prepaid brand Boost Mobile has reported any issues. However, Assurance Wireless, another Sprint brand that is operated by Virgin Mobile, told a customer on its Facebook page who was having problems with his text service that "we were experiencing a 3G/MMS/SMS outage yesterday."
Virgin Mobile is getting ready to begin throttling data speeds of customers who use more than 2.5 GB of data during their monthly billing cycle. The policy, which goes into effect on Friday, will reduce users' speeds to 256 kbps or slower once they exceed their allotment of data.

iPhone 5: Possible Features & Specification
1. iPhone 5 Form Factor Could Be Bigger Than iPhone 4S?
Unlike iPhone 4, we’ve not had any testing prototype leaked out accidentally. This means all we have is speculation built upon speculation. Still, there are certain clues – like the 4-inch iPhone 5 screen – which could give a bit of a hint as to the form factor. We’re expecting a normal, iPhone 4S kind of a form-factor. All those rumors about a curved-glass display are out the window. In a lawsuit between Apple and Samsung, Apple suggested Samsung to go for curved-glass form-factors – which kind of proves that Apple isn’t taking that up for its iPhone 5.
Of course, we could expect the iPhone 5 to grow a bit bigger than the palm-friendly iPhone 4S or iPhone 4. There has been a constant need raised by iPhone users as to the screen size – and this 4-inch thing could probably be the answer to the need. But then, as we had posted earlies, the iPhone 5 could only have the display screen larger – not the whole body. That would make UI bigger, but the palm-friendliness remain unaltered.
2. iPhone 5 Could Come With a Greater Resolution
Another rumor that’s been doing the rounds recently is the resolution on the iPhone 5. Of all the iPhone 5 specs we heard, this was very impressive enough because so far, we thought the Retina Display was the state-of-the-art resolution one could ask for! Perhaps, with an increase in the UI size, the resolution could get stronger and users could expect a more brilliant video-watching experience. For the moment though, there’s not much cooking on this issue.
3. iPhone 5 Could Have A Quad-Core Processor
This would mark the beginning of a new CPU-arms race in the market. A dual-core processor for a smartphone has become a common thing these days. One of the chief competitions between Samsung smartphones running Android and Apple smartphones running iOS is the processor each boasts of. The A5 has outdone most Android-supporting processors that other companies have come up with, but according to certain rumors, Apple could be one-upping the race with an all-new, better-than-A6, quad-core processor!
Users have often complained that iPhone 4S is sometimes lagging in speed, and as a fix to this issue, Apple could be trying for the quad-core processor on its next-gen iPhone.
4. iPhone 5 Could Have 4G / LTE Capability?
We wrote on this sometime back. Will the iPhone 5 have 4G capability? Most likely, because Samsung got its Infuse 4G launched already!
In the network race, it would only be logical if Apple got an iPhone 5 specs sheet that had 4G support. As to LTE, that’s doubtful. But bringing out an LTE iPhone 5 would be a great boon for buyers.
Update (23-March-2012): Latest report from Apple Insider report cites research note obtained from Barclays, it is said that Apple is looking at a Qualcomm MDM9615 chip for the LTE support in the smartphone. Read more.
5. More Gesture-based – No Home Button
Oops! No home button? Well, yeah, quite possibily. Apple has moved to improved gesture based controls through its iOS 5. So it is quite possible that the home screen might be dropped for enhanced gesture-controls – one large interface change in iPhone 5 specifications.
6. iPhone 5 Features – Storage Capacity, Battery Problems and OS
This one is an actual bummer. With iPhone 4S, we heard the 64GB getting the face-lift. It was being marketed well on par with the 32GB and 16GB. So having an iPhone also means having a smartphone with huge memory capacity. The iPhone 5 specifications might very well include 64GB versions too – considering the sales reports of the iPhone 4S 64GB version – but going beyond that would probably not be a reality for now.
The iPhone 4S still has battery issues and even with the updates on the iOS, there’s no reprieve out of that. It would be natural for the engineers to work on the battery issue fix – and it would only be logical for them to get an iPhone 5 which is not ridden with battery issues.
7. Fire-proof iPhone
Stunned with this iPhone 5 feature?? Well, why not to be… New iPhone 5 is likely to be the fire-proof and the company has organized a patent app for highly developed material which is halogen-free flame retardant. It could be incorporated in the iPhone 5 specifications to build this new iPhone 5 and other Apple products.
8. Wireless Charging
Well… this iPhone 5 specification would give you another break! But you never know the wireless charging is really creating a mass appeal. It could be possible with the inductive wireless charging technology. If you could juice up the battery of iPhone 5 then this will be a big hit. So until iPhone 5 release date comes and the Apple release new smart phone with super cool iPhone 5 features, imagine charging this smartphone without cable.
9. More Speed
4G technology, the latest standard in network technology will help to build up the network fourth generation that will give you more speed…more fun on the fly with outstanding iPhone 5 specs!
10. NFC Payment
According to the reports, this NFC (Near Field Communication) technology is under testing and if it comes, then user will be able to make countless payment through scanner. However, according to the ibtimes, the analysts at Jefferies are expecting that this NFC technology will be revealed in the iPhone 5S (probably next version of iPhone 5). Such iPhone 5 features will definitely create waves in the market.
11. iPhone 5 and Nano-SIM?
Way back, sometime before the rumors began spreading like wildfire, there was this strange but thoughtful remark about iPhone 5 supporting Nano-SIMs to make the design compact – or keep it unaltered (from iPhone 4S) despite a size-increase in the display.
A Nano-SIM would actually be a thing of the past even in 2012, considering the developments and supporting devices that we’ve got so far. Still, there’s no saying what Apple is up to!
The iPhone 5 Release Date Speculations
iPhone 5 is in development, quite obviously, considering the references in iOS 5.1 Beta code. There are no leaks or confirmed sources from manufacturers as yet – which could help us fix a possible date of release. But, we can make a safe guess with a late-2012 release (much like iPhone 4S which got a late 2011 release). Of course, this would depend on Apple’s iPad 3 plans too. Is Apple eying for a simultaneous release of iPad 3 and iPhone 5?
As regards the iPhone 5 price, it wouldn’t be surprising if the cost was considerably larger than that of iPhone 4S. Considering the economics of smartphones, the trend is upward as of now!
