Apple Fired Warning Shots At Handset Makers

Apple reportedly fired warning shots at handset makers to underscore its growing displeasure at seeing iPhone related intellectual property infringed.

Citing industry checks Oppenheimer's Yair Reiner writes that:

"Starting in January, Apple launched a series of C-Level discussions with tier-1 handset makers to underscore its growing displeasure at seeing its iPhone-related IP [intellectual property] infringed. The lawsuit filed against HTC thus appears to be Apple's way of putting a public, lawyered-up exclamation point on a series of blunt conversations that have been occurring behind closed doors.

"Our checks also suggest that these warning shots are meaningfully disrupting the development roadmaps for would-be iPhone killers. Rival software and hardware teams are going back to the drawing board to look for work-arounds. Lawyers are redoubling efforts to gauge potential defensive and offensive responses. And strategy teams are working to chart OS strategies that are better hedged."

Reiner says these warnings began over a year ago in January 2009 when Apple COO Tim Cook warned that "we will not stand for having our IP ripped off and we'll use whatever weapons we have at our disposal. I don't know that I can be more clear than that."

After that warning the major handset manufacturers stayed clear of multi-touch. The Palm Pre was an exception but it doesn't currently represent a strategic threat to Apple. However in late 2009 the Motorola Droid and the HTC Eris arrived.

"Top-tier handset makers continued to avoid implementing multi-touch, but Apple could safely assume that they were hanging back to gauge Apple's response to Motorola and HTC. If there wasn't one, the OEMs would likely read the silence as a green light, especially after Google also moved to enable multi-touch on its Nexus One phone.

It was likely in order to counter that perception that Apple began reaching out to handset OEMs in January and explaining in no uncertain terms that it was now ready to do battle

Tekken: Iron Fist Tournament Coming to iPhone?

Namco Networks will soon release Tekken: Iron Fist Tournament for the iPhone and iPod touch, according to a new report.

To paraphrase, "the game is being finished up and it plays rather nicely."

PocketGamer believes its likely that the iPhone version is a touch enabled port of Tekken 6 as developed for PSP, "which is wise given how well-crafted the PSP version is."

Initially it was believed that the game would be shown during the upcoming Game Developers Conference; however, Namco released a statement saying that isn't the case.

"We are NOT showing anything at GDC with regards to Tekken. We will be previewing new stuff, but it will NOT involve the Tekken brand whatsoever."

The company didn't confirm or deny the game's existence.

Verizon plans to encourage its customers to go with the WiFi only iPad and use it with a device like the MiFi for Internet on the go.

An internal document from the company reads as follows...

Apple introduces the iPad - an opportunity for VZW
The iPad is anew category of device, between a smartphone and laptop, and will be offered in two models
- WiFi only - available April 3, 2010
- Wi-Fi + 3G - shipping late April

Sounds great, but isn't iPad exclusive to AT&T?
- iPad will not be sold directly by AT&T
- Sales, customer service & billing will be handled by Apple
- Customers who purchase the 3G version & want 3G capability will need to purchase a data plan to use AT&T's 3G network
- The 3G iPad is priced $130 more than the Wi-Fi only version, plus the cost of a 3G service plan

The iPad is an opportunity for VZW!
- Why pay more for the 3G version & get 3G service on an overloaded network with limited coverage?
- Customers who purchase the Wi-Fi only iPad can use the ......

While using the Wi-Fi version with a MiFi type device sounds good, how is Verizon planning to convince people to pay $60/month for 5GB while AT&T is offering $30/month for unlimited?
