The analyst observes that customers still have a day or so to get hold of their iPads before the end of the month if they reserve one in store and pick it up in the next 4-7 days. He

  Google has moved to against Apple in yet another space -- this time announcing a music downloads service via its Android Market. Music will be made available for sale and download via the new Music section of the market, accessible using Android 2.2-powered devices, which for now includes handsets and in future will include tablet devices. Details are sketchy, TechCrunch informs , but essentially its a Web-based transaction system which automatically downloads your song purchases to your device.

• Google's open video codec faces patent proof battles

  Vote	Discuss
  4 votes 4 hits

  Google is hoping its video codec will launch an “arms war” in development, pressing the standard into something that’s actually usable, but the patent holders of the H.264 format, MPEG-LA, are already looking at VP8 with a view to sue. At issue are widely-reported similarities between VP8 and H.264 in some of the underlying architecture for encoding and decoding content. Merely making the software open source doesn’t guarantee the included technologies aren’t liable to patents. MPEG LA CEO, Larry

  Apple's Steve Jobs has no intention picking up on Google's attempt at a royalty-free video codec, VP8. In his latest email response, the Apple CEO simply sent a customer asking about his thoughts on the codec a link to a critical report on the video codec. Among other things, this report pointed to the many H.264 similarites in the codec, lending some substance to notions that patent litigation may change the royalty free status of Google's codec. Most video developers also note the codec isn't really
