Google promises 'big announcements' for Google TV


Google is teasing us with a promise of "big announcements" tomorrow regarding Google TV.
                           
"Get ready for Monday, we have some big announcements!" the Web giant cryptically teased late Saturday from its Facebook page.
Google representatives did not immediately respond to requests for more information, so it looks like we will have to wait until tomorrow to see what the company has up its sleeve. Perhaps the company will take the wraps off consumer gear the company is reportedly developing.
The company is working on a home entertainment device that would "stream music wirelessly throughout the home" and be marketed under Google's name, according to a Wall Street Journal report last week.
Google has dabbled with consumer products before and has met with mixed results. Google TV is software intended to power smart TVs and other Web-connected devices but that effort has largely foundered. Google was also behind the Nexus One, which was built by HTC. However, the so called Google Phone was a commercial disappointment.

ITC: Motorola does not violate Apple patents

The U.S. International Trade Commission ruled that  Motorola's Droid smartphones do not violate three Apple patents , dealing a blow to Apple's legal offensive against the Android  smartphone ecosystem.                              The ruling is preliminary and needs to be approved by the ITC's full six-member commission. An Apple spokeswoman declined to comment. In a press release, general counsel Scott Offer declared Motorola "pleased" with the ITC's decision . Apple originally lodged its ITC complaint against Motorola in October 2010, alongside two lawsuits. In its complaints, Apple alleges that Motorola's Droid,  Droid 2 , Droid X, and a handful of other smartphones and related software violated several of its patents. Apple's complaint followed  one from Motorola  that claimed Apple was violating 18 of its patents with its smartphones and other mobile devices. Related stories App...

Intel plays smartphone, tablet catch-up at CES 2012

Intel president and chief executive Paul Otellini talks about the company's smartphone and tablet plans at CES 2012. Intel made the case tonight that it didn't miss a step in the smartphone and  tablet  game, instead offering that computing has become device-agnostic. Nonetheless, Intel spent the majority of its focus on smartphones and tablets, announcing deals that should spur more Atom-powered mobile devices in the near future. On the smartphone front, that amounts to a reference design for a phone with a 4.03-inch LCD, two cameras (including one at 8 megapixels), and one of Intel's low-power Z2460 processors. The company hopes it will cut down the time and money it takes OEMs to get new phones out the door.
