iPhone Scandal Involves the iPhone 4G/iPhone HD Prototype and Gizmodo
The iPhone Scandal involves the iPhone 4G/iPhone HD Prototype, allegedly lost in a bar and Gizmodo. Last week Gizmodo won the scoop of the year for 2010. The tech blog site managed to steal thunder from almost all its competitors by snagging a genuine prototype of what appears to be an early version of the upcoming iPhone 4G or iPhone HD from Apple. Gizmodo is claiming it’s the real deal in spite of it being camouflaged to look like last year’s iPhone 3GS. They said they dissembled it and found it to be containing authentic and never-before seen components like those found on previous iPhone models.

Kodak Sues Research in Motion (RIM) and Apple for Patent Infringement
I think Kodak is just being jealous because Research in Motion and Apple are making tons of profits from the brisk sale figures of iPhones and Blackberry smartphones. They want a cut from the billions of dollars that RIM and Apple Inc are raking in. Kodak has filed formal suit versus RIM and Apple Inc. claiming the two smartphone makers violated a number of Kodak patents on digital camera, specifically the “a Kodak patent that covers technology related to a method for previewing images” as well as “certain computer processes” (against Apple), Kodak said in their press release. The film and digital camera company has already asked the U.S. International Trade Commission to issue legal order stopping shipments and sales of iPhones and Blackberrys until the patent dispute is resolved.
