<description><![CDATA[Apple's quest to keep competitor Amazon from using the name &quot;Appstore&quot; for its digital downloads storefront could soon be hitting a roadblock. Bloomberg reports that U.S. District Judge Phyllis Hamilton--who is presiding over Apple's case against Amazon--said she'll &quot;probably&quot; deny Apple's motion that seeks to bar the Web retailer from using the &quot;Appstore&quot; name. The reasoning there, Hamilton explained during a hearing today, was that Apple's primary argument of the store's name confusing customers lacked evidence. &quot;I'm troubled by the showing that you've made so far, but that's where you're likely not to prevail at this early juncture,&quot; Hamilton said during the hearing.Apple filed suit against Amazon back in March, taking aim at the company's newly launched Appstore, which sells mobile applications to users on Google'sAndroid platform. At the time, an Apple spokeswoman said, &quot;we've asked Amazon not to copy the app store name because it will confuse and mislead customers.&quot; Amazon responded in April by countersueing Apple, saying that &quot;App Store&quot; is too generic, and it wanted Apple's case dismissed. In a court filing last month, Apple fired back, saying that it &quot;denies that the mark App Store is generic and, on that basis, denies that the Amazon Appstore for Android service is an 'app store.'&quot;The two cases case are closely tied to ongoing spats between Apple and other companies over the rights to use &quot;App Store&quot; and &quot;Appstore.&quot; Apple owns the rights to both marks in Europe, but not the U.S., where its trademark application is pending approval. An effort by Microsoft, HTC, Nokia, and Sony Ericsson back in May sought to invalidate Apple's European trademarks, while Microsoft's taken on Apple's U.S. trademark application with the help of linguists. <br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Analysts weigh in on the potential sales impact of a Verizon iPhone.(Credit:Geeky Gadgets)For those waiting for a VerizoniPhone, the wait may not be much longer. Citing a person familiar with Apple's plans &quot;who isn't authorized to discuss them publicly,&quot; Bloomberg has been reporting that Apple will &quot;probably&quot; introduce a Verizon iPhone after next week's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. But what's interesting about the latest articles is that analysts are already predicting the number of AT&amp;T customers who will defect to Verizon for its new iPhone.The estimates range from 1 million to 6 million moving from AT&amp;T to Verizon, though the bulk of sales of a potential Verizon iPhone would still come from current Verizon customers updating their existing phones.The Bloomberg article quotes John Hodulik, an analyst at UBS AG in New York, who comes in &quot;somewhere in the middle&quot; with his projections, saying 2.3 million would switch from AT&amp;T to pick up a Verizon iPhone. Hodulik expects AT&amp;T would sell 8.8 million iPhones in 2011 (down from 15.6 million in 2010) and that Verizon would sell 13.3 million. Of those 13.3 million, 10 million would go to Verizon subscribers and the rest would come from other carriers. If indeed Verizon introduces an iPhone later this month, there are still some unknowns that could affect sales. For instance, how much will service plans for a Verizon iPhone cost (typically, Verizon's plans cost more than those of rival carriers), and will the phone offer any new enhancements Also, despite a lot of AT&amp;T customers being unhappy with that carrier's service, many will be weighing whether to hold out for an improved fifth-generation iPhone that will arrive in June and may support 4G data transmissions. Additionally, AT&amp;T could offer incentives for customers to stick with the company. And finally, perhaps its service will improve as more folks defect to Verizon.More:iPhone 5's 20 most-wanted features<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Motorola is no longer the king of Android phones, as Samsung is responsible for 32.1 percent of all Android phones shipped in the US this past quarter, according to a report by the research firm Gartner.The company also announced that it has sold 1 million Galaxy Tab Android tablets in less than two months since its launch.The cause of Samsung&amp;'s smartphone success isn&amp;'t a big secret. Clearly, the company&amp;'s multi-carrier approach with its high-end Galaxy S Android phones is taking off. The shipment numbers are a 300 percent increase over Samsung&amp;'s Android ship rate in the fourth quarter of 2009.Given that Samsung announced that it shipped 3 million Galaxy S phones in early November, and that the phones are available on all major US carriers, it&amp;'s also not a huge surprise to see Samsung now in the top Android phone maker spot. Gartner reports that Motorola fell to the No. 2 spot, with HTC and LG in the third and fourth spots respectively.Now it makes perfect sense why Google chose Samsung for its upcoming Nexus S flagship device.As for the Tab &amp;8212' which is also available across all major US carriers, and retails between $400 (with contract) and $650 &amp;8212' Samsung is proving that it can compete somewhat with Apple&amp;'s iPad. The sales numbers are impressive considering that the Tab garnered mixed reviews. Despite its flaws, it appears that some consumers are still choosing it over the iPad, perhaps because of its smaller form factor &amp;8212' or simply because it&amp;'s the only viable Android tablet on the market right now.Next Story: Groupon spurns Google&amp;'s paltry $6B offer, makes $2B every year Previous Story: Trip-planning startup NileGuide raises $3.5MPrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'          Tags: Android, Galaxy S, Galaxy Tab, smartphones, tabletsCompanies: Apple, motorola, Samsung          Tags: Android, Galaxy S, Galaxy Tab, smartphones, tabletsCompanies: Apple, motorola, SamsungDevindra Hardawar is VentureBeat's lead mobile writer and East Coast correspondent.
