Summary: The courts may have dealt Samsung a terrible blow in the US, but it is still ahead of Apple in sales, and is now taking on the iPhone 5.

Another day, another claim in the ongoing patent war between Apple and Samsung. It must be Wednesday.

Samsung's lawyers in the US have added the iPhone 5 to the list of Apple products that the company believes have infringed on its patents. There are no new patents involved at this stage; Samsung is just claiming that the patents the other iPhone models infringed on are also infringed in the iPhone 5. The company is expected to also claim that parts of the iPhone 5's 4G functionality infringe on Samsung-held patents.

In good news for Samsung, the ban on the sale of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 has also been lifted, and the company remains the biggest seller in the smartphone market in the US, at 25.7 percent market share. But Apple is catching up, moving up to 17.1 percent market share in August, up from 15 percent in May.

iPhone users have also found another bug in iOS 6. This time, it appears that customers are using mobile data, despite being connected to Wi-Fi networks. This is a good way to get bill shock very quickly. According to reports, it's pretty widespread, with Verizon customers in the US, and Telstra and Vodafone customers in Australia reporting it. We're trying to find out more about it, and we'll let you know what we discover.

If you're worried about battery life in iOS 6, too, here are a few helpful hints about what you can do about it.

Overnight, hacking group GhostShell dumped 120,000 records from around 100 universities, including email addresses, passwords, Ids, and names of students and faculty members. The universities include Harvard, Princeton and New York University.

And, finally, Oracle OpenWorld continues, with the company announcing the seven pillars of its so-called Cloud Cathederal. These "pillars," or products, are essentially focused on planning and budgeting, financial reporting, social network data analytics, a hosted corporate social network, a developer service, a storage cloud, and a message cloud.

Summary: CEO Larry Ellison discusses how Oracle's approach to integrating social throughout SaaS applications is different from the competition.

SAN FRANCISCO -- The cloud is the star of the show at Oracle OpenWorld this year, but Oracle CEO Larry Ellison was quick to inform the keynote audience on Tuesday afternoon about what he thinks they need to know about the evolution of cloud technology.

Essentially, Ellison's main argument is that every time you buy a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) application, you buy the underlying technology because it has to run on something.

orcl100212a

In a way, that reinforces president Mark Hurd's comments during a Q&A session on Monday that the cloud is now another line of service for Oracle alongside hardware and software.

Here are the quick hits on Ellison's cloud rhetoric:

  • "You may have to connect up that application in the cloud to another application in the cloud from another supplier or an application you have on-premise. You need to consider not only the application you're buying but the platform on which it rests."
  • "Standards are still important. Just because we're in the cloud doesn't mean we forget about standards and make everything proprietary again."
  • "Just because the application is in the cloud doesn't mean you have to do any work. You're still going to have to interconnect these applications."

Ellison admitted, "Building this cloud has been years and years of internal development at Oracle supplemented by key strategic acquisitions." Oracle has been building up its social portfolio with recent acquisitions such Involver and Collective Intellect.

Never one to shy away from addressing competitors directly, Ellison boasted Oracle has more SaaS applications than any other vendor.

"We're the only cloud application company that gives you a choice of deployment. The only one," Ellison declared.

In comparison to Salesforce.com, Ellison argued that those customers can only run their apps through "one place on Earth, and that's the Salesforce public cloud." Ellison further slammed Salesforce by asserting its customers can't move those apps in-house behind their firewalls nor can they purchase those licenses.

Ellison also targeted Salesforce in an area that the CRM giant prides itself in: social. With the integration of social at the platform layer, Ellison posited that this approach represents a big difference between Oracle and its competitors when it comes to social.

This means integrating social engagement and listening tools within Oracle's Social Relationship Management platform across its marketing, sales, commerce, service, human resources, talent mangement and collaboration apps.

Looking forward, Ellison predicted many of its on-demand and on-premise customers are going to choose to move to the Oracle public cloud, describing it as "a very interesting alternative they didn't have up until now."

Initially, Oracle expects the demand to be heavy in North America, but Ellison said that the hardware giant expects, as the technology matures, the demand will break down geographically as the market breaks down: more evenly split between North America, Europe/Middle East/Africa, and Asia-Pacific.

Ellison forecasted hopefully, "This time next year we'll have thousands of Oracle Cloud customers."

You may be thinking that Apple’s iOS 6 Maps fiasco is leading to decreased demand for the iPhone 5. According to Sterne Agee analyst Shaw Wu, you would be wrong. Bloomberg Businessweek reports that in a note to investors, Wu assured that demand for the iPhone 5 is still riding high, despite user concern about the sad state of Apple Maps.


Of course, the fact that Apple won’t be shipping new iPhone 5 orders out until sometime near the end of October already told us that, but Wu reassures that Apple Maps isn’t doing much to decrease demand for the brand new handset. Sterne Agee’s numbers for the iPhone 5 haven’t changed at all, with Wu noting, “Demand appears robust with its online store quoting a lead time of 3-4 weeks.”

The problem here is actually with production bottlenecks, as Wu says that the iPhone 5 isn’t all that easy to put together. That, when combined with Apple’s insistence that each handset be as close to perfect as possible, is what’s causing these shipping delays. Indeed, if you’ve yet to buy an iPhone 5, the chances of finding one are pretty slim, and you’ll probably be waiting for a number of weeks before your order arrives.

So, for the record, Apple Maps doesn’t appear to be having an effect on iPhone 5 demand, at least as far as Wu and Sterne Agee can tell. To be honest, we’d be surprised if it was, but then again, with all of the negative press Apple Maps has been getting lately, we can’t imagine its helping iPhone 5 demand either.
