In the ongoing battle between Apple and Samsung there have been a number of big turns of event.

Samsung is now moving up the ladder as one of the largest mobile device suppliers in the industry.

This survey from the US indicates that in the smartphone hardware market Samsung now have 25% of the market. No surprise that Android is now on 45% of smartphones too.  Read more: http://www.bgr.com/2011/12/02/android-steals-blackberry-share-samsung-top-vendor-in-new-comscore-report/

Samsung released this great youtube ad at the time of the iPhone 4S launch which makes me laugh, especially as I have an iPhone and a Galaxy S II.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab may be available in Australian Stores shortly after Apple lost it's bid to keep an injunction on Samsung selling it's Apple competitor. Apple are planning to appeal to the High Court although they may not have much luck, and Samsung are planning to have the Galaxy in stores as soon as stock is available.

Siri-ously?

Siri for the iphone 4S looks handy and useful just like Voice Control, Vlingo and Pocket Blonde on my Android Galaxy S II but will you use it?
Personally I feel like a bit of a dick talking to my phone. I suppose I could work more in the car while driving but it does prompt you to check it's actions, a smart move so you don't accidentally send your boss a 2am drunk message, but a limiting factor as you have to take your eyes off the road. Your thoughts?
