LG and Quanta settle 8-year long patent dispute

Filed under: Desktops, Laptops

LG and Quanta have been going at it over patents for eight years now, with LG notably seeking an injunction against the importation of Quanta-built Apple, HP, Dell, and Sony laptops, and the Supreme Court ruling that LG wasn’t entitled to additional royalties, but it looks like the fight’s finally over — both sides say they’ve come to an agreement and will now negotiate royalty rates. No further details, but we’re told BMW sales near the offices of LG and Quanta’s law firms just skyrocketed.

ASUS Eee PC 900HD hits the FCC, reveals little

Filed under: Laptops

Hey, remember when the Eee PC was announced, and everyone got all hot and bothered, and we couldn’t wait for it to ship, and we couldn’t wait to get it into our hands? Then remember how ASUS created so many annoying variations that it became almost impossible to pay attention? Well, pay attention — the Eee PC 900HD has hit the FCC. Excited? Yeah, we thought so. Hit the read link to see what the label and undercarriage of your new supposedly-hard-drive-equipped netbook look like, and feel free to browse some SAR reports while you’re there. Of course, this reveals nothing about the actual hardware save for the fact that this bottom casing is different from previous models, so… that’s one thing.

HTC Dream’s Dimensions Leaked by FCC, Misses Out All-Important Thickness [Android]
HTC’s Dream phone, with Android goodness, hit the FCC last week, and details have been popping up elsewhere too: But a new pic over at FCC has given us a concrete bit of data at last… the Dream’s size. It’s a svelte 55mm, or 2.17-inches wide, and 115mm or 4.53-inches long. That’s a jot shorter than the iPhone 3G’s length (though it’s 0.28-inches narrower,) and only slightly bigger than the HTC Touch Diamond at 4.02 x 2.01 inches. Do you spot what’s missing? The all-important depth of the phone—it’s not shown on the FCC imagery. The slide-out QWERTY keypad will play a part in that, but we don’t know as yet exactly how slim or pocket-stretching it’s going to be. [FCC]
