HP Airlife 100 runs off Android OS

HP's latest effort in the world of mobile computing has resulted in the new Airlife 100 that is powered by Google's Android operating system, where it has a Snapdragon processor (this is yet to be confirmed) running underneath the hood, alongside a 16GB SSD, 3G and Wi-Fi connectivity as well as a 10.1" touchscreen display. Apparently, the Airlife 100 comes with a 12-hour battery life which can last for up to 10 days in standby date. HP will offer that with Telefonica as it hits markets in Europe and Latin America under mobile broadband service plans. Do you think it might fall under the HP Mini branding when it hits Stateside?

Nexus One Domains Not Registered By Google?

Nexus One Domains Not Registered By Google?

With all the focus and attention that Google’s Nexus One phone has been getting, it really is surprising to see that all the domains such as nexusone.com, nexusone.co.uk, and others all didn’t redirect to anything remotely resembling to Google’s Nexus One phone. Of course, it seems that nexusone.com was owned by someone in Portland since 1998, so you can’t really blame Google for that, but it does seem to put a bit of a dent in Google’s branding of the Nexus One, don’t you think? Are you going to check out the various variations of the Nexus One domain name after reading that?

Design Firm Sues Microsoft by Bing Trademark

Design Firm Sues Microsoft by Bing Trademark

Do you think that anybody might have been using the word “Bing” in its name before Microsoft used it for its Bing search engine? whether you did, you’re right, as a small graphic design firm has been using “Bing!” for its branding since early 2000 (according to the company’s claims). The company, Bing! data Design, has filed a case in St. Louis circuit court. The weird part is that the company waited until May 26th 2009 to attempt to register the trademark with the US Patent and Trademark Office, which was next rejected considering Microsoft had already applied for the trademark “Bing”, and the case reviewer judged that the additional punctuation was an insignificant difference to Microsoft’s trademark application. What do you think about the Bing branding? Should Microsoft of the graphic design firm be able to use it?

Hello Kitty Casio EX-Z90 Camera

We briefed you about the Casio EX-Z90 a month or so ago, but that was just the standard boring version, right? Well, it seems that some folks think that adding Hello Kitty branding to any item is a certain way to create and winner, and that’s probably what happened to the Casio EX-Z90. The camera now comes in bright pink, and has a matching Hello Kitty branded case and strap. Pink Swarovski diamonds circle the outer lens, and there is plus a rather noticeable “Hello Kitty 35th Anniversary” label on the front. It’s up for preorder for $499. It’s amazing what a little pink cat can do to the price of a $128-150 camera.

Latest Chinese fake iPhone steals only branding.

November 22, 2009

The latest Chinese trademark infringement of Apple branding is the new Apple Q300 Ultra, which uses the name "Apple," says "iPhone" right below the screen -- and even has the Apple logo on the outside of the case. The product itself, however, is unlike anything Apple has ever produced. It's an old-school clamshell device, rather than an all-screen touch phone. additionally interesting and objectionable is that the phone uses an operating system that has no Chinese-language capability, so that phone is built for export outside of China.
