Database giant Oracle has launched a legal action against Google, alleging that the company infringes seven patents it owns related to Java.
Eric Schmidt, the CEO of Google, was formerly a chief technical officer for Sun Microsystems. Sun Microsystems was bought by Oracle.
The move is interesting because when Sun Microsystems was a separate entity it promoted Java as an open source option.
Google never formally took out a licence from Sun Microsystems, while Java is widely used in a large number of applications created by other vendors. The law suit will cause other manufacturers to wonder whether Oracle will start a patent hunt against them.
The move prompted the Wall Street Journal to remind its readers that Larry Ellison, the CEO of Oracle, is a friend of Steve Jobs, the CEO of Apple.
Apple considers Android to be a considerable threat to the iPhone and the Google OS continues to grow its market share as an OS for smartphones.

Anyway, old news is no news. As Nokia has just announced, Qt is going to be the umbrella OS. There will be no more distinction among Symbian^3, Symbian^4, MeeGo, etc. Just Qt. And streaming media is going to be HTML5. Adobe Flash and MS Silverlight will have competition in this. Rejoice Nokia owners!

Anonymous, 23 Oct 2010A question to all the n8 owners round here... Does the usb otg support big external hdd as ... moreAbout the support to high capacity HDDs so you can use the USB OTG, these HDDs should have their own power source (anything above 200mAH) because if you might have noticed the N8 is not too big a phone to supply power to these devices. Read the user guide.

Go to the sites of these other phones you mentioned and you'll see that even the REAL owners of these phones have more complaints than praises for their phones. They don't even mention to compare the N8 to them because MOST of them know the N8 is a lot better. Their brains are just too hard up to figure the N8 that's why they don't want it. BTW, Symbian^3 is about to be ported to Qt which is the umbrella OS for all Nokia phones going forward. So more developers are jumping to Nokia. Too bad Samsung left Symbian, they now are stuck with Bada that cannot even multitask, like Apple iOS. Now, are you for real man?

Let's put it in dis way, i used to be a die hard nokia fan.. my sets ( N72, N95 8gb, N79, 5220, 3110c, 5130, N96 etc) but all is past now. belive it or not now the future is in samsung's bada OS, Androids and Windows phone 7.. nokia is only good in making small mid range handsets only.
nokia's biggest known sets C7, N8, E7 like are no match with the HTC Desire hd or galaxy s or s8500 wave or X10 or iphone 4 etc.
trust me to go with s8500 wave or sgs i own both of em and u won't be disappointed, not to mention the regret you'll take after taking N8 over them.
