Having didn’t reach funds after a day of settlement, the CEOs of Google and Oracle have been summoned to look for a 2nd round of talks to try to settle Oracle’s patent infringement lawsuit against Google over the use of Java in the Android mobile Operating system.

Based on court filings, U.S. Magistrate Judge Paul Grewal has called for the leaders of Oracle and Google to return to the U.S District Judge in San Jose, Calif., on Sept. 21 after the companies failed to come to agreement on a settlement during a day-long meeting on Sept. 19.

The battle of the Larry’s – Larry Ellison, Chief executive officer of Oracle, and Larry Page, Chief executive officer of Google – might be viewed as a battle of good and evil, or at least the old guard versus the new. Ellison has been a swashbuckler of the technology industry, making his bones with a timely investment in a database platform and parlaying that into a series of acquisitions that continue to empower Oracle. Oracle’s acquisition of Sun Microsystems gave rise to the current lawsuit, as Ellison, that has been around the block a time or 2, saw fit to tax Google with a toll for allegedly tapping into Oracle’s patented Java technology – acquired from Sun — without its permission. Ellison has proven in lawsuits that he is not afraid to mix it up in court, nor is he averse to calling on the government to scrutinize competitors when it is convenient.

Meanwhile, Google co-founder Page is known as a serious engineer and businessman, however is new to the Chief executive officer ranks, having stepped in as Chief executive officer in April after Eric Schmidt stepped down to become Google’s executive chairman.

Florian Mueller, an intellectual property analyst that has closely watched this case, said in a Sept. 19 blog post: “I believe there’s a reasonable chance that Larry Page will show the strong leadership he’s demonstrated since taking over the helm and make Larry Ellison an offer too good to refuse: a ton of money in exchange for a perpetual license. The side effect of encouraging other patent holders to expect similar pay-offs is inevitable however not a reason not to do what needs to be done.”

However, as yet there’s no indication that any progress has been made toward a settlement. If the lineup of who showed up for the negotiations is any indicator, Google weighed in with more bodies. In addition to Page, there in attendance at the Sept. 19 meeting was David Drummond, Google’s chief legal officer, and Andy Rubin, Google’s senior vice president of mobile, who oversees Android development, based on a court filing. A court filing also said Ellison was joined by Safra Catz, Oracle’s president and chief financial officer.

The 2 sides come to the negotiation from vastly different positions. Oracle has argued and had its expert assert that the database giant could be due as much as $6 billion in damages because of Google’s use of Java. However, Google maintains that if it owes anything it should be no more than $100 million.

Yet, “Google’s chances of getting out of this lawsuit unscathed are rather slim,” Mueller said. “Oracle probably wouldn’t win a trial on all counts, however it’s highly prone to win on at least some of them, and quite probably the counts on which Oracle would prevail would be powerful enough. However, Google has to think about the implications of any settlement of this particular litigation for its overall business.”

Meanwhile, should the 2 sides fail to reach a settlement the judge could order them to continue to meet to negotiate. However, if negotiations are eventually exhausted with no agreement, the case is set to go to trial at the end of October.

Although no one was seen to iPad, but they were today, Monday, at the presentation of the new Sony Tablets in Vienna very much present. Because these devices Apple has invented, every new development has to measure it. Sony is trying to score with a lot of high tech and innovative features, but must be in terms of perceived quality and intuitive operation, the iPad beaten.

From the end of September, the new tablets are also used in Austria in the trade – initially only in the Wi-Fi version, from mid-November as 3G. The touted as innovative design in a wedge shape is actually getting used to their look and feel. It looks a bit like a folded over book and you find yourself constantly in mind that you would like to collapse it. However, this facilitates the operation once it is placed on a flat surface.

Less elegant: Plastic casing
holds the tablet is S in hand, surprised by the low weight (598 grams) of the 9.4-inch device. However, this is a housing made ​​of plastic “bought”, which lacks the elegance of matte aluminum of an iPad, the only three grams (Wi-Fi) weighs more. There is an SD card slot and a USB interface, both hidden behind a cheap-looking plastic cover – but still present.

Sony praises his display in the highest terms, both in terms of resolution (WXGA 1280×800) and the touch capabilities. The former is actually true and here there is nothing, but the more fingerprints the device “decorate” the more you pick will have some gestures and repeat until it actually works. Incidentally, the battery will hold seven to eight hours.

Something really new, the “Throw” function: Photos, videos and pictures with a simple wiper find the way to DLNA-enabled TV or other compatible devices when these are made by Sony. The quality of the videos was quite convincing. On the television sets of other brands can be accessed via infrared interface and use as his tablet at least as remote control. Bluetooth is another way to connect to other electronic “toys”.

S Tablet runs on Android
When you first try the predominant impression that one has a plethora of options, but which one must develop gradually. In comparison, the iPad “primitive”, but no less stylish, and even to use by people who have never seen a computer in their face.

The Tablet S running with the latest version of Android, and thus can draw on a wide selection App. It is sure to attract those users who want to break out of the narrow-Apple world, and where technical data and options mean more than style and prestige. About the price, the Sony-Apple competitors are not cut out, because at 479 and 579 € for the Wi-Fi versions with 16 or 32 GB and 599 for 16GB and Sony 3G requires exactly as much as Apple.

For anyone who still remember, Toshiba launched an Android tablet a while back. It was bulky and big however it came packed full with ports and other essentials for the geek on the move and by god do I love such solutions. Small, and easy is sure wonderful, but when it truly comes down to it I want my hardware to pack a punch, reason for which I am most intrigued by their latest tablet, the “Toshiba AT200 Excite” which was recently revealed. So let’s check out its features and see what all the fuss is about.

Toshiba AT200 Excite

The Toshiba AT200 Excite comes in using a 10.1 inch (25.7 cm) capacitive LCD panel with LED backlight, with a quality of 1,280 x 800 pixels as well as multi-touch support. The processor powering the Toshiba AT200 Excite is the TI OMAP 4430 1.2GHz dual-core CPU and this one is combined with 1GB of DDR2 RAM. The internal memory can be upped all the way to 64GB of storage and you will go beyond that because of the micro-SD card slot which the device comes with. That needs to be plenty of storage for anyone out there.

Port wise, the ultra thin Toshiba AT200 Excite (it measures only 7.7mm in thickness), includes micro USB as well as micro HDMI and a docking port. You get Bluetooth and Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n along with GPS, 3D Accelerometer, gyro meter, electronic compass as well as ambient light sensor. The main camera comes in with 5 megapixels and the front facing camera has 2 megapixels. There’s also a set of stereo speakers with 1.5W power output each.

The Toshiba Media Player facilitates a wide array of vide, picture as well as audio formats.

The total package of the Toshiba AT200 Excite measures in at 256 x 176 x 7.7 mm and weighs in at a very meager 558 grams. This makes it really portable for this sector of the market and with the specs underneath its shiny and stylish case, you can bet that it will be shifting through those apps like it’s no one’s business. The battery life is estimated by the manufacturer to 8hours with 100 % video playback of 8 hours with 65 % web browsing via WLAN, Ten percent video playback and 25 per cent standby.

The Toshiba AT200 Excite launch date, in Europe, is scheduled for sometime during the 4th quarter, so that should make the device little over a month away from release. But then again, the 4th quarter can also mean we’ll have to wait up to 4 more months. Prices are yet unknown, but make sure to check back soon as we’ll keep you posted!
