South Korean court rules against Samsung, won’t ban iPhone and iPad
The latest development in Apple and Samsung’s patent battle is a new court ruling in the latter’s home country, and it’s going against Samsung. The Washington Post and Reuters report that in a case covering three Samsung patents, and Apple products including the iPhone 4s, iPhone 5 and iPad 2 Judge Shim Woo-yong ruled against a sales ban and threw out Samsung’s request for damages. The Post reports the patents cover things like multitasking, message notifications and how a device can display multiple messages from the same sender. This follows a ruling from late last year in the same court, where Apple was found in violation and ordered to pay Samsung $35,000 in damages, while Samsung was ordered to pay about $24,000 for its own patent overstepping. Samsung is of course considering an appeal of this latest ruling, ensuring that these two deep-pocketed tech giants will keep tying up courts around the world for the foreseeable future.

The Galaxy Note 3 Is Now Part Of Samsung’s “10 Million Seller Club”
Of the thousands of different phones in the history of mobile technology, only a relative handful can claim to have sold 10 million individual handsets, but the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 has recently become a member of this high-flying club in just 2 months on the market. While it’s not quite the same pace set by the Galaxy S4, Samsung has decided to commemorate this momentous occasion by humbly reminding everyone of exactly how many of Samsung’s phones are part of what it has called its “10 Million Seller Club”.
The Galaxy Note 3 joins the alumni of the Club which includes the Galaxy S4, which has sold over 40 million handsets to date, the Note 2 and almost every Samsung flagship phone in recent memory stretching all the way back to the SGH-T100. It’s definitely an impressive list of the who’s who in Samsung history and it’s an undeniable reaffirmation of the popularity the ‘phablet‘ form-factor smartphone has garnered since Samsung made the gamble to make its first over-sized phone, the original Galaxy Note.
If you want to check out the “10 Million Seller Club” in its entirety, check out the infographic below. Have you owned one or more of the phones mentioned in the list? Did you suspect that your phone may have sold over 10 million handsets in its lifetime? Let us know what your experiences are.
