Apple turned up the heat on Samsung in Australia when it expanded its patent and trademark lawsuit to include 278 new infringement claims covering 22 patents and ten devices (some unreleased). This is a significant increase from the original lawsuit which targeted only the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and included with a handful of patent infringement claims. If the court grants Apple an injunction based on these new claims, it potentially could prevent Samsung from selling any Android device in the land down under.
Samsung and Apple are embroiled in a heated legal battle that began in August of 2011. Apple scored a victory when it was granted an injunction that banned the sale of the Galaxy Tab. Samsung Australia appealed this injunction and a court overturned the ruling in mid-December. Samsung resumed sales of the device and flaunted its victory by launching an advertising campaign proclaiming the Galaxy Tab was “the tablet Apple tried to stop.”

Brandon Watson, head of the Windows Phone Developer Experience, is leaving Microsoft to join Amazon. According to the ZDNet report, Watson will take over as the Director of the Kindle Cross Platform team. In this new role, he will oversee the development of Kindle apps including those for Windows Phone and Windows 8. February 6th will be Watson’s last day at the Redmond Company.
Watson is one of several key people who recently left the Windows Phone division. In these other cases, the employees joined other divisions within Microsoft. In early December, Windows Phone division President, Andy Lees, was appointed to a leadership position and now reports directly to Steve Ballmer. Terry Myerson, formerly the Corporate Vice President, took over Lee’s place. Later that month, Matt Bencke, General Manager for Developer and Marketplace, left Windows Phone to join the Xbox division.
