Google places $900M bid for 6,000 Nortel patents

The business of smartphone production is starting to look more like the a John Grisham legal novel.

HTC's 1H 2010 portfolio leaked, pictured and spec'd

If you live and die by HTC, you might be very excited to know that the company’s portfolio for the first half of 2010 has been leaked online.

Lined up are a number of Windows Mobile 6.5 devices and Android devices, so we hope you’re sitting down for this one. Hit the break to see how the phones are broken down by category and to see some images of the devices themselves!
