These new leaked images of the Tizen OS show us that how would voice control work on the Samsung Redwood. Android is the Top Smartphone OS, Apple iOS follows it while Windows Phone is making its position firm as the third best smartphone OS. It would be pretty interesting to see how Samsung plans to makes its way to the Top 3. Many other Linux based OS are also due to launch later this year like Ubuntu for Smartphones.

“With the GALAXY S 4, Samsung is again going to enhance the way we live,” said JK Shin, President and Head of IT & Mobile Communications Division at Samsung. “All the innovative features of GALAXY S 4 were developed based on the insights and needs we found from our consumers all around the world.

Won Pyo Hong, Executive Vice President of Media Solution Center, Samsung Electronics said:

“The Smart App Challenge allowed Samsung Electronics and application developers to work together as partners to grow and strengthen the ecosystem for Samsung smart mobile devices. We will continue to actively support app developers from a variety of angles and we expect the new and unique apps will enrich the user experience for Samsung smart mobile devices.”

The contest ran for five months and was divided into two categories ‘Samsung Apps Super Apps’ and ‘Best S Pen Apps’. The winners in Super Apps were chosen by virtue of consumer sales while Best S Pen Apps’ winners were hand picked by a panel of judges. 80 apps were shortlisted from entries  which came pouring from seventy countries. The winners of the competition will be awarded with various prizes from a total cash pool of $4.08 million.

Fresh Cheese, a game developed by Italian company Spin Vector won the Best S Pen Apps category. China, South Korea and Poland respectively boast the most number of winners in this competition. The winning apps can be viewed on Samsung Smart App Challenge and they will be promoted on Samsung Apps website as well.

The jury has decided that Samsung infringed Apple’s patents and that too, knowingly. The jury, in the verdict has stated that top executives at Samsung knew about the patents infringement and has also declared that they willfully continued the patent violation to develop their own products. Samsung Galaxy Tab, however, has not infringed Apple’s patents concerning the iPad’s design.

Apple has claimed a figure of US$ 2.5 billion as damages but the jury has decided a final figure of  just over $1 billion as damages, the exact figure is US $1,049,343,540. Samsung will be further saddened by the fact that jury found that Apple did not infringe its patents in iPhone 3G and 3GS and hence awarded no damages resulting in a clear victory for Apple and its legal team.

Samsung has indicated that it will be applying for an immediate injunction against the decision and will further go for an appeal. So the drama hasn’t ended yet and there could be more twists and turns in this saga.

Following statements were released by the two tech giants:

Samsung

Today’s verdict should not be viewed as a win for Apple, but as a loss for the American consumer. It will lead to fewer choices, less innovation, and potentially higher prices. It is unfortunate that patent law can be manipulated to give one company a monopoly over rectangles with rounded corners, or technology that is being improved every day by Samsung and other companies. Consumers have the right to choices, and they know what they are buying when they purchase Samsung products. This is not the final word in this case or in battles being waged in courts and tribunals around the world, some of which have already rejected many of Apple’s claims. Samsung will continue to innovate and offer choices for the consumer

Apple

We are grateful to the jury for their service and for investing the time to listen to our story and we were thrilled to be able to finally tell it. The mountain of evidence presented during the trail showed that Samsung’s copying went far deeper than even we knew. The lawsuits between Apple and Samsung were about much more than patents or money. They were about values. At Apple, we value originality and innovation and pour our lives into making the best products on earth. We make these products to delight our customers, not for our competitors to flagrantly copy. We applaud the court for finding Samsung’s behavior willful and for sending a loud and clear message that stealing isn’t right.

On the other hand Windows Phone 7 gained about 115% gain in its market share which is tremendous but it only holds 3.5% of the total market share which is not good enough so Microsoft needs to work hard with Windws Phone 8 to gain grounds in the Smartphone market.
