Proview believes settlement with Apple over iPad trademark dispute is “likely”

Apple is currently embroiled in many lawsuits over alleged price fixing, patent infringements, trademark infringement, in-app purchasing, etc, but it looks like one of these lawsuits could finally be coming to a close. According to Proview, the company has indicated that it seems likely that the lawsuit between Apple and Proview over the iPad trademark could be coming to an end and that the matter will most likely be settled out of court.

Chrysler marks return to China with 300 Ruyi design concept

Considering the rate at which the Chinese market gobbles up Buick models, you'd think it would be a prime market for Chrysler.

In the coming months, it will begin selling both the 300C and the Grand Voyager, and to mark the occasion it has presented a special design concept of its top-of-the-line sedan.

T-Mobile CEO argues to FCC against Verizon's AWS license acquisition

Well, wouldn't you know it, but T-Mobile - the only nationwide AWS service provider in the US - objects to Verizon's purchase of additional AWS spectrum. The company's CEO, Philipp Humm, recently took his concerns to the chief of the FCC's wireless bureau, Rick Kaplan, where he argued that Verizon's proposal to shed Blocks A and B of the 700MHz spectrum simply wouldn't be fair shake. According to Humm, Verizon is merely looking to offload its less desirable assets (as Blocks A and B are more prone to interference).
