March 17, 2010 – Today, an updated version of the online payment giant PayPal’s Apple iPhone app was released.

If Sony Smartphone Rumors Ring True, will it represent an iPhone Competitor or a Patent Infringement Opportunity?

March 5, 2010 – According to a Wall Street Journal article, Sony Corporation is currently planning to release a line of products to compete for a share of the Apple-dominated smartphone market.
