Google, Oracle CEOs Ordered Returning to Android Negotiation Table

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.

Could “Android Jelly Bean” Function as the Successor to” Ice Cream Sandwich”?

Slowly reports day? Just how else to explain the buzz being created by a thisismynext.com report about possible codenames for Google’s follow up to its upcoming Android mobile operating-system?

The follow-up to Google’s latest-generation “Android 3.0 Honeycomb OS” that is affectionately referred to as Ice Cream Sandwich won’t even be coming until October or November, based on Google. Nevertheless, interest in all things Android has absolutely kept pace with the operating system’s developing importance in the smartphone and tablet markets.

So perhaps it seems sensible that people are keen to learn any detail at all about Ice Cream Sandwich’s successor, even its codename. Which, reported by thisismynext.com, may or may not be Jelly Bean.

The tech blog cites one “trusted source” as saying “Jelly Bean” is a done offer. But another source cited in an update to the thisismynext.com post says that codename hasn’t yet been finalized. “What Jelly Bean” has going for it, of course, is that Google has so far named each successive new version of Android and some important updates to the OS after a tasty treat that follows an alphabetical pattern.

Thus we have seen Banana Bread followed by Cupcake followed by Donut, etcetera, through to the upcoming Ice Cream Sandwich. Even though Ice Cream Sandwich is assumed to be a major version update from Android 3.0 to Android 4.0, Google has not actually made that official yet. Jelly Bean could be Android 5.0, but that’s not official either.

Thisismynext.com thinks Jelly Bean makes a lot of sense because “the pickings are fairly slim for desserts with ‘J’ names.” Maybe, but Google has been known to get creative with its Android codenames. Case in point, Froyo, the codename for Android 2.2.

Jell-O is a brand name, so it’s probably off limits. A better bet would be Jujube, which is actually a generic term, though “Jujubes” is branded in the U.S. by the confectioner Farley & Sathers (on a historical note, Jujubes were originally made by the Heide Candy Company). Jelly Roll would be a nice twist on the more generic Jelly Bean, with the bonus of being an homage to jazz pioneer Jelly Roll Morton as well as a somewhat dated but naughty metaphor.

Speaking of metaphors, here’s a mix of them: If Google does decide to throw us a curveball with Android 5.0 (or whatever the “J” stop turns on the Android train turns out to be), perhaps it will go with Javvarisi, the Tamil term for pearl sago, a tapioca like starch that’s used in sweet pudding dishes.
Or maybe the search giant will try to be a bit more more health-conscious with the next version of Android. If Google wants to start getting off codenames that still evoke sweetness without relying on refined sugar, they may try Jicama or Jackfruit.

HTC is the Hottest Casualty inside the Apple-Google War

The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) dominated in favor of Apple in the legal fight between it and other smartphone company, HTC.

Apple, which filed the problem in March of 2010, alleged HTC used many of its patents with some of its devices. The ITC ruled a couple of the 10 patents presumably infringed by HTC were in fact legitimate issues by Apple. HTC states it plans on appealing the decision.

“We are highly confident we have a strong case for the ITC appeals process and are fully prepared to defend ourselves using all means possible,” Grace Lei, General Counsel of HTC, said in a statement. “We strongly believe we have alternate solutions in place for the issues raised by Apple. We look forward to resolving this case, so we can continue creating the most innovative mobile experiences for consumers.”
Based on AllThingsD, the 2 patents are a “system and method for performing an action on a structure in a computer” along with a “real-time signal processing system for serially transmitted data.”

HTC reported the ITC’s staff attorney independently studied the reality and didn’t think there were any infringements. Also, the business said Apple is infringing by itself patents.
Although this particular tussle is between Apple and HTC, the real war is probably between Google and Apple. İn the last few years, Apple has gone after several manufacturers which use Google’s Android OS. In latest months, it has waged lawsuits with Samsung as well. While those complaints are hardware, it appears Apple has gone after the major Google Android gamers.

Apple’s disdain for Google’s Android operating-system isn’t exactly a secret. In the past year, Apple leader Steve Jobs said he thought Google’s explanation that its main system was open and Apple’s was closed as a “dishonest description.”

Foss Patents, a blog on patent law, said the particular Apple complaints relate to Android’s operating system rather than the phone’s physical makeup. The blog states this could have an effect on all U.S. based Android cell phones in the future.

Other organizations have gone after Google because of its Android operating system as well. Microsoft has presumably asked Android handset makers to license its technology while Oracle complained Android infringed on its Java patents and copyrights in the operating-system.

Google Nexus 4G AT&T Might Defeat iPhone 5

The Google Nexus 4G is believed to have a launch date of Thanksgiving this year. Apple’s iPhone5 is expected in the marketplace in September. However the Nexus 4G is beginning to be thought of as an Apple iPhone slayer.

The most crucial reason from a visual marketing perspective is the appearance of the Nexus gadget. The Nexus 4G AT&T includes a monster-sized 4.5-5-inch display that will support edge-to-edge video calling. Such a large display on such a little handheld device makes a favorable first impression. The new Apple iPhone5 is expected to have a edge-to-edge 3.7 to 4-inch curved glass display. The Nexus may have a first impression screen advantage over Apple’s new device.

Google’s Nexus 4G AT&T is rumored to run on Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) that is expected to be the most capable and enhanced Android OS version ever. Ice Cream Sandwich combines the best features of Honeycomb (Android tablet OS) and Gingerbread (Android smartphone OS). Nexus 4G AT&T would be the first smartphone anywhere to run on Ice Cream Sandwich. While Apple is expected to run on a new iOS 5 O/S it might have trouble competing with what is rumored to become a fabulous Ice Cream Sandwich.

The Google Nexus 4G AT&T has been called an “absolute beast” among smartphones for excellent reasons. Apparently, the smartphone includes a dual-core Snapdragon processor including Krait chips from Qualcomm and 1GB RAM. The processor chip is rumored to have either 1.2GHz or 1.5GHz. The Krait Snapdragon processor will run at a blazing speed of 2.5 GHz per core using minimum power. That will make it more than a hundred times faster than a normal ARM based CPU.

Apple Will most likely Have a First Mover Advantage

If the discharge goes as planned Apple will have the first mover edge on the Google Nexus 4G AT&T. However, with only an expected difference of 8 weeks or so between the releases, technology aware smartphone fans might wish to wait and examine the less expensive Nexus 4G before paying a hefty rumored $600 for the Apple cell phone.

It will be fascinating to see which device emerges as the leader in the competitive smartphone field. Whatever device takes the lead in sales smartphone users will have an option between two extremely capable and technologically leading edge gadgets. With these releases Google and Apple seem positioned to dominate the smartphone market for a long time.
