Samsung chief: we’re open to a cross-licensing deal with Apple, but 4G chip shortage might last until the fall

The at times very heated legal battle between Apple and Samsung might be softening just a bit ahead of truce talks on May 21st. Samsung‘s mobile head JK Shin just left Seoul for the mediated discussions saying there were still “several negotiation options” on tap, including the possibility of cross-licensing patents. He warned that there was still a “big gap” between the two sides, and we’d tend to agree — neither Apple nor Samsung is exactly backing off just yet.

Samsung pushes graphene one step closer to silicon supremecy

Graphene has long-held notions of grandeur over its current silicon overlord, but a few practical issues have always kept its takeover bid grounded. Samsung, however, thinks it’s cracked at least one of those — graphene’s inability to switch off current.

Samsung clarifies camera production shift, confirms commitment to point-and-shoot models

We’ve heard reports that Samsung has shifted focus at some of its camera manufacturing facilities away from point-and-shoot cameras with the objective of ramping up production of its compact mirrorless models . And while this move implies that the company’s pocketable compacts could be doomed, that’s simply not the case. We spoke with Reid Sullivan, Samsung‘s Senior Vice President of Mobile Entertainment, who reinforced the company’s continuing commitment to developing and manufacturing point-and-shoot models — in short, pocketable cameras remain a focus for the company, which simply made manufacturing adjustments to accommodate an anticipated increase in demand for recently-launched NX20, NX210 and NX1000.

You know what they say: a picture tells a thousand words, and we’ve got quite a few embedded below for your viewing pleasure.
