Tech: Smartphones: Apple tries to axe Samsung's Galaxy Nexus

refWrite comment:  Woudn't you know it, just as I'm vaguely and distantly considering a smartphone purchase (my telecom provider, Bell Ontario), at this precise moment comes an Apple legal manoeuvre to stop in its tracks the choice I'd settled on, just about.  I get this service, phonedog, which emails me YouTube videos comparing different smartphones recently on the market.  I'd decided among those Bell waved in my face, at a very good deal it seems, there being just one that seems to have met all my criteria — Samsung's Galaxy Nexus (with some fancy numbers attached to the name for the model or version).  — Technowlb

Apple Seeks Injunction vs 

Samsung's 'Galaxy Nexus' Smartphone

by Ian Sherr and Jessica E. Vascellaro 

SAN FRANCISCO--Apple Inc. is asking a California court to issue a preliminary injunction to block sales of Samsung Electronics Co.'s new Galaxy Nexus smartphone, alleging the device infringes four Apple patents.

The Cupertino, Calif., company has launched suits in multiple jurisdictions against Samsung and other companies making products that compete with its hit iPhone and use Google Inc.'s Android operating system. In its latest action, Apple argues the Samsung device--which uses a new version of Android dubbed Ice Cream Sandwich--is the most credible competitor to the iPhone yet and poses a potent threat to Apple's market share.
