Arguably the best web browser available for the Android platform, Dolphin, is now also strutting its stuff on iOS. Dolphin's claim to fame is its deep gesture integration, which reduces the need for quite so many on-screen buttons. Perfect for smartphones with smaller screens, just like the iPhone.
Offering its wares for free, Dolphin joins a long list of web browsers in the App Store which aim to take a piece of the browsing pie from the stock Safari software, but it may need to offer something unique if it's going to make people switch...
A new report from the New York Post claims that Apple is about to gain a new competitor in the tablet market, with online book store and music giant Amazon set to enter the fray with its own set of tablet devices.
Powered by Google's Android mobile operating system, Amazon's tablets are believed to be set to cost 'hundreds less' than the iPad's base $499 price tag. That pretty much confirms a $299 Amazon tablet...
The Apple-Samsung lawsuit has been grabbing headlines left and right over the last few months. The action has especially heated up over the past few days, as Samsung tried to prove to a Dutch court that it's not copying Apple's products.
But even with their Kubrick evidence, the judge found the Korean company to be in violation of Apple's patents. The ruling bans Samsung from selling several devices, including the Galaxy S and Galaxy S II, in the European Union...

Here at iDB we've covered a lot of lawsuits involving Apple and their hit line of iDevices. Most, if not all, of the litigation has involved patents. You know, those little pieces of paper that tie an invention to its inventors.
In fact, these patents have practically turned into weapons in the warzone that is now the mobile industry. It seems like everyone is suing everyone — it's hard to keep up. Luckily, the folks over at Reuters have made a chart to help us out...
Last week, we told you about how Nokia accidentally used an iPhone 4 in one of its advertisements. Today, it seems history has repeated itself, only this time with BlackBerry.
RIM made a fan video showcasing the new BlackBerry Torch and OS 7. For a short time in the video, you can easily spot something that isn't a BlackBerry. It's an Android device.
