Apple already has an agreement in place with Lodsys to use the patents, but the reason Lodsys is suing the individual developers is that the company claims this agreement doesn’t cover them.

Posted: 10 Oct 2011 12:31 AM PDT On Wednesday the 12th of October Apple will launch the latest version of its mobile OS, iOS 5, and one of the major new features in iOS 5 is iMessage, which is basically a cost free replacement for text messages. There are already a number of different mobile apps that let you communicate with your friends without having to pay a fee like you do for a text message with your mobile carrier, and we suspect Apple’s iMessage is going to be very popular and could end up replacing text messages on the iPhone.

| Get Your Gangsta on with the Pump Action Slingshot Posted: 09 Oct 2011 11:35 PM PDT I have talked about the crazy slingshots that Joerg Sprave makes on a few occasions. The last time I mentioned him was when he invented the slingshot that flings iPhones. Joerg is back with a new slingshot that has a new and very cool design.

According to its creators, the Tablet Claw came about after repeated observations of people wielding tablets. It doesn’t take a genius to realize that a slim tablet isn’t the most ergonomic of devices. Sure it’s great for a lot of things, but handling? So enter the Tablet Claw. Yeah, the name is a bit too ominous for comfort.
