<description><![CDATA[Apple ramped up the rhetoric in its patent infringement battle with Samsung on Thursday, filing an amended complaint that includes more allegedly infringing devices and stronger accusations that the company copied the look and feel of itsiPhone andiPad.Which is saying a lot, because as of its last court filing, Apple had taken to referring to Samsung simply as &quot;the copyist.&quot;&quot;[Samsung's] products...blatantly imitate the appearance of Apple's products to capitalize on Apple's success,&quot; Apple says in the complaint, which now weighs in at an impressive 63 pages, up from its original 38. &quot;The copying has been widely observed in the industry and has been mentioned in multiple articles reviewing Samsung products.&quot;It then goes on to explain just how grievous an offense that alleged copying is, by recounting the years of R&amp;D work that went into developing the iPhone.&quot;While the iPhone was an instant success, there was nothing instant about the design process,&quot; the complaint reads. &quot;Over the course of several years, Apple had teams of people working on developing each aspect of the design of the phone itself--the shape of the phone, the materials used, and the size and placement of the mask that frames the screen--as well as the Multi-Touch user interface, to make a product that looked and felt entirely different from prior phones on the market. The end result was a very clean shape for the phone, with an entirely flat glass panel for the front, gently rounded corners and integrated casing, and intuitive touch features. Before Apple's introduction of the first iPhone product, no other company was offering a phone with these features.&quot;But there were quite a few that came after it, including a bunch from Samsung, Apple says. Among them, the 15 devices Apple singled out in its first complaint and the 12 new ones it added to it Thursday.*So, a significant escalation of hostilities, particularly coming as it does on the court-set deadline for Samsung to provide Apple's outside counsel samples of its already-announced upcoming products, including the Galaxy Tab 10.1, Infuse 4G, and Droid Charge.*Samsung devices mentioned in Apple's original complaint: Captivate, Continuum, Vibrant, Galaxy S 4G, Epic 4G, Indulge, Mesmerize, Showcase, Fascinate, Nexus S, Gem, Transform, Intercept, Acclaim, and Galaxy Tab.Samsung devices added in Apple's amended complaint: Droid Charge, Exhibit 4G, Galaxy Ace, Galaxy Prevail, Galaxy S (i9000), Gravity, Infuse 4G, Nexus S 4G, Replenish, Sidekick, Galaxy Tab 10.1, and Galaxy S II.Story Copyright (c) 2011 AllThingsD.

<description><![CDATA[Intel today detailed its high-speed Thunderbolt connector tech, which is appearing first on Apple's MacBook Pros--also announced today. Thunderbolt, formerly known by its codename Light Peak, is a new high-speed PC connection technology that combines high-speed data transfer and a high-definition display on a single cable. Running at 10Gbps, Thunderbolt can transfer a full-length HD movie in less than 30 seconds.The Intel-developed technology is coming to market through a technical collaboration with Apple, and is being made available first on Apple's new line of MacBook Pro laptop computers, which were rolled out this morning. Probably one of the most salient points today made by Jason Ziller, an Intel manager heading up Thunderbolt work, is that very-high-speed external devices will look like they're actually &quot;in the computer,&quot; due to the use of PCIe (PCI Express) technology. PCIe, to date, is a high-speed standard typically used for internal devices like video cards. Ziller was speaking at an Intel event that CNET covered live earlier today. Ziller also addressed the optical connection question. Though originally code-named Light Peak--which makes an obvious reference to optical technology--the connector is currently being implemented as an electrical technology based on copper. Intel will work toward enabling optical Thunderbolt connectors but is not committing to any kind of firm schedule at this point, Ziller said. Intel did say, however, that it is working on an optical cable that &quot;has the optics in the cable...[which] will extend to tens of meters. We expect to see that a little later in the year, &quot; according to Ziller. Whither USB 3.0 An oft-voiced claim is that Thunderbolt will replace USB 3.0, the latest version of the universally used connector standard. Thunderbolt will complement USB 3.0, according to Ziller. &quot;They will co-exist on the same platform...in terms of storage (devices) we'll see both [USB 3.0 and Thunderbolt] products on the market,&quot; he said. Addressing USB 3.0, he did mention that Intel plans to &quot;integrate it in the future&quot; in silicon. It's also worth noting that because both Intel and Apple are the driving forces behind Thunderbolt, it should have a very good shot at gaining acceptance--down the road--by major PC makers. That said, no major PC companies chimed in today announcing support, and Ziller deflected questions about wider adoption by specific PC makers. One reason for the lackluster support out of the gate is likely due to the close cooperation between Apple and Intel, which seemed to be exclusionary to some extent. Thunderbolt highlights: Intel-Apple collaboration Physical connector is compatible with DisplayPort and supports legacy DisplayPort devices 10Gbps per channel, bidirectional' small connector that can fit on ultraslim devices PCIe and DisplayPort protocols, compatible with standard DisplayPort displays Expect an increase in external devices that tap into the &quot;flexibility&quot; and speed of PCIe Daisy chains up to seven devices Moves media files faster: complements Intel's Sandy Bridge-based Quick Sync Video transcoding tech Copper (electrical) connection for now, optical connectors possible in the future but no firm schedule Optical cables (not connectors) are coming later this year, however Will complement USB 3.0, according to Intel The nuts and bolts of Thunderbolt.

<description><![CDATA[Motorola&amp;'s latest entry into the tablet wars won&amp;'t have Adobe Flash for the first few weeks after it is released, according to Verizon&amp;'s landing page for the device.The announcement was basically buried at the bottom of a banner ad for the device that indicates Flash will arrive &amp;''Spring 2011.&amp;'' That means Motorola&amp;'s Xoom tablet, which is powered by Google&amp;'s Android mobile operating system, will ship without a feature that is widely seen as a differentiating factor between the iPad and Android-powered tablets.Flash has been a bit of a sore point between Apple and Google throughout the tablet wars. Google has supported Flash applications on its Android operating system, while Apple has publicly decried the software as inefficient and a battery hog a4&quot; something that&amp;'s not welcome on its mobile devices. So it&amp;'s a little strange to see Motorola making this move when Flash seems to be a selling point for some Android-powered devices.Motorola is waiting for the next version of Flash for mobile devices, version 10.2, before it enables Flash on its tablet computers, according to Engadget. That version is set to ship in a few weeks and is supposed to be more energy-efficient because it uses fewer processor cycles to run Flash-based content. So it could be a quality-check for Motorola&amp;'s tablet, which the company hopes will be able to go toe-to-toe with the iPad.The company recently announced that a wi-fi version of its Xoom tablet computer would cost around $600 and launch on February 24 a4&quot; making it comparable with the iPad&amp;'s pricing.Next Story: CEO of Chinese e-commerce site Alibaba quits after fraud investigation Previous Story: Deal of the day: Gilt Groupe raising $80M to $100MPrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'          Tags: Adobe Flash, Android, Flash, Honeycomb, Motorola Xoom, tablet computer, XoomCompanies: Adobe, Apple, Google, motorola          Tags: Adobe Flash, Android, Flash, Honeycomb, Motorola Xoom, tablet computer, XoomCompanies: Adobe, Apple, Google, motorolaMatthew Lynley is VentureBeat's enterprise writer.
