Tiger Woods, if you’re reading this, remember that you’ve been through what mothers call a “valuable learning experience” and you’re probably a “better man for it” and so on. Having said that, an iPhone app that launched on Feb. 25 could totally have saved your hide.

Apple Inc (AAPL.O) sued Taiwan’s HTC Corp (2498.TW), which makes touchscreen smartphones using Google software, accusing it of infringing 20 hardware and software patents related to the iPhone.
Even though the suit did not name Google Inc (GOOG.O) as a defendant, Apple’s move was viewed by many analysts as proxy for an attack on the Internet company, whose Nexus One smartphone is manufactured by HTC.

There’s good and bad news for Apple (AAPL) in a report to clients issued Monday by Canaccord Adams analyst Peter Misek.
The good news is that iPhone sales are running better than expected, according to the carriers he’s been talking to, prompting Misek to raise his fiscal Q2 iPhone sales estimates to 7.9 million units from 7.2 million.

According to Wired, Dell’s general manager of the tablet computer division, Neeraj Choubey, said the computer company is going to produce “a family of tablets.”
He also doesn’t seem to be showing any fear of Apple and its hyped tablet computer, referring to it as a gadget for people who “have a handbag or a murse or whatever.” (I happen to respect the murse, but maybe that’s just me.)

One weakness for Dell is that the Mini 5 tablet computer will come with only a 5-inch screen, compared to the iPad’s 9.7-inch display. Wired reports that Dell plans to scale up the screen size with future editions.

Apple Inc Chief Executive Steve Jobs will hold his annual face-to-face meeting with shareholders on Thursday, and there will be no shortage of questions for a company famously stingy with information.

Well –not entirely. After all, it’s bright, responsive, and has a much higher resolution. But there is a lot more to making a good screen, and under a detailed analysis it’s far from a rout when you pit HTC’s bleeding-edge OLED screen against the old-school LCD of the iPhone.

Thousands of apps with adult-themed content have been removed from the store since Friday although some, such as one from Playboy, remain.

It took them four days, but Apple is finally explaining its surprise decision to remove nearly all “sexy” content from the App Store. Once again, the morsels of information come from Apple SVP of Worldwide Product Marketing Phil Schiller, who spoke with the New York Times for an article published earlier this evening. None of it is too surprising, but Schiller’s unconvincing explanation as to why some applications like Sports Illustrated’s swimsuit app and Playboy will be allowed to remain on the store is sure to anger plenty of developers.

Google has finally completed its purchase of video processing firm On2 Technologies in a $124.6 (£80.5m) deal which will expand the web giant’s online video capabilities.

The U.S. International Trade Commission said on Friday it has agreed to investigate Apple Inc’s patent infringement complaint against Nokia Oyj, as the legal battle between the two technology heavyweights continues to play out.
