Nokia Rebounds From Lawsuit Ruling in Apple's Favor With...Another Lawsuit [Blip]

After the judge ruled in Apple's favor last Friday, you'd think Nokia would just cross fingers for the final verdict in August, and be done with it. Unfortunately not, as they've filed yet another complaint with the US Trade Panel, claiming Apple is infringing on another seven of their patents—bringing Apple's supposed patent infringements to a total of 46.

HeLauncher for Android offers 10 different home screen styles including HTC Sense, Motorola Blur

HeLauncher, pick from 10 different home screen stylesPicking an Android launcher is tricky business. Most of them have so many features and config options that it takes a matter of weeks to learn all of their intricacies -- and you can't possibly know which one suits your needs without trying out a few!

HeLauncher, by offering no less than 10 different home screen styles, gives you a simpler way of finding a home screen that suits your style. This isn't to say that HeLauncher emulates the features of Android launchers like ADW or LauncherPro; rather, it makes your phone look like it's running HTC Sense or Motorola Blur (MOTOBLUR).

In terms of actual features, HeLauncher doesn't do much. It offers resizable widgets, which are fairly cool, and drop-icons-on-trash-can-to-uninstall, but that's about it.

Amazon Appstore for Android Test Drive hands on: surprisingly cool, but still US-only

Amazon Appstore for Android Test Drive
When Amazon Appstore for Android launched last week, one of its primary features -- Test Drive -- was disabled just a few minutes after it opened. With no try-before-you-buy, no refund process, and 1-Click purchasing ready to strike at any moment, this caused some problems. Anyway, don't despair: Test Drive is now enabled.

Before you get your hopes up, Test Drive doesn't work with every app. The IMDb app works fine -- you can even watch movie trailers on it! -- but the Angry Birds games are sadly not enabled. Some games work surprisingly well, though, like Bubble Buster. There's very little latency, and the framerate is really rather good. The Test Drive experience is so true to life that you even get ads; how cool is that?

Amazon Cloud Music apparently launched without record labels' blessing

Big Ones

My 75-gigabyte music dump to Amazon's new Cloud Drive music storage and playback service is chugging along quite nicely, so it's with a furrowed brow that I read that Amazon's apparently pissed off the music industry in the process.

See, apparently the music industry believes that Amazon needs a license to allow me to stream my music -- my (mostly) legally obtained music -- from its cloud to my devices. I can take said music and stream it from my laptop to my Xbox 360, or put it on a microSD card and pump it through a phone or six, or put it on a flash drive and play it in my car. But, apparently, Amazon needs a license. And apparently it didn't get one.

According to a Reuters story, the music industry has its knickers in a twist because Amazon went ahead and launched the service while still in talks for licensing fees -- something neither Google nor Apple has had the chutzpah to do. And you know what? Good for Amazon. The music industry has been killing itself far too slowly.

Of course, this could mean that Amazon's service could be shut down, or Amazon might have to pay out the wazoo, or we could all be forced to pay more for the storage space. (And I'm willing to bet Google's going to give more than 5GB free.) We'll just have to see. In the meantime, stream away, folks. Stream away. [Reuters/Yahoo via TiPb]

Motorola Xoom officially landing in UK next week, still has to finalize pricing and SKUs

As much as we love our rumormongering, a good hard confirmation never goes astray around these parts, and we've just heard directly from Moto that its Xoom tablet will be arriving in the UK next week. When precisely, we don't know, but the major electronics retailers will all be playing their part -- Dixons (and its subsidiaries Currys and PC World) plus the Carphone Warehouse were specifically named. As to pricing, we've seen pretty strong indications that it'll be £500 for the WiFi-only version and £600 for the 3G-equipped one, though there's no immediate confirmation about which (or if both) will be coming next week. Either way, the important thing is that the world's first Honeycomb tablet will be on sale in some form just as soon as the next British fiscal year gets started.
