•Samsung to acquire all of Sony's shares of S-LCD, making the joint venture its wholly-owned subsidiary
•Sony and Samsung enter into a strategic agreement for supply and purchase of LCD panels.

Tokyo, Japan - Sony Corporation (“Sony”) and Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. (“Samsung”)  announced that the two companies have signed agreements to transition the current business relationship with respect to LCD panels.

Under the agreement, Samsung will acquire all of Sony's shares of S-LCD Corporation (“S-LCD”), the two companies' LCD panel manufacturing joint venture, making S-LCD a wholly owned subsidiary of Samsung. In consideration for the share transfer, cash consideration of approximately KRW 1.08 trillion* will be paid to Sony by Samsung. Concurrently, the two companies have entered into a new strategic agreement for the supply and purchase of LCD panels with a goal of enhancing the competitiveness of both companies. The agreement also allows Sony and Samsung to continue cooperative engineering efforts focused on LCD panel technology.

For Sony, this transaction will enable it to monetize its shares in S-LCD and aims to secure a flexible and steady supply of LCD panels from Samsung, based on market prices and without the responsibility and costs of operating a manufacturing facility. With whole ownership of S-LCD, Samsung anticipates heightened flexibility, speed and efficiency in both panel production and business operations.

Established in April 2004, S-LCD has continued to deliver advanced and cost-competitive LCD panels to both of its parent companies, contributing to the expansion of the respective parties' TV businesses, and the large-sized LCD TV market overall. However, LCD panel and TV market conditions have now changed. In order to respond to such challenging conditions and to strengthen their respective market competitiveness, the two companies have agreed to shift to a new LCD panel business alliance.

The share transfer and payment are targeted to close by the end of January 2012, subject to necessary approvals from regulatory authorities.

As a result of this transaction, a non-cash impairment loss of approximately JPY 66 billion is expected to be incurred by Sony in the third quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2012, due to the reevaluation of its S-LCD shares. This loss includes an impact from the fluctuation of exchange rate. Despite this one-time loss, Sony estimates that the transaction will result in substantial savings on and after January 1, 2012 in respect of costs associated with its procurement of LCD panels. The current estimate of the yearly savings in respect of such costs is approximately JPY 50 billion, compared to LCD panel procurement costs estimated for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2012. Neither the one-time loss nor the estimated cost savings were included in Sony's forecast of consolidated financial results for the current fiscal year ending March 31, 2012, announced on November 2, 2011. Sony is currently reevaluating this forecast, taking into account this transaction and other factors that might affect its full year FY2011 consolidated financial results forecast.

After the company released a list of Samsung phones and tablets, which will be upgraded to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. Among other things, the greatest surprise was the fact that although such an update will be released for the smartphone Google Nexus S, its closest analogue Samsung Galaxy S will not be updated. Also not to be Ice Cream Sandwich and Tablet Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0. Now, however, received an explanation as to why these devices will not work with the latest operating system, Google. The problem is that during the development of Samsung Galaxy S and Tab 7.0 has been developed for them based on the original firmware version of the standard operating system Android. The changes made ​​by engineers, were deeper than usual: special widgets work with video calls, etc. In addition, each individual market, these models receive additional software and hardware features that depend on the sales region, and operators. For example, in Brazil's equipment includes ISDB-Tb-in TV tuner. These additions and changes can not be adapted to work correctly in not the most productive equipment. Officially. Unofficially, there is firmware that provide Android 4.0 ICS on these devices.

A German court previously decided to prohibit the sale of a Samsung tablet because of the similarity with the products of Apple, previously determined that the revised model is no longer yavlyaetsya copy iPad. Although this decision is not final, but the likelihood that an Apple representative will be able to prove the converse is not too large. The final decision will be made at the hearing, scheduled for February 9, 2012. As stated by Judge Joanna Hoffman-Brueckner (Johanna Brueckner-Hofmann): «According to the court, the defendant is sufficiently protected by the law away from the design." In the opinion of the representatives of the plaintiff, model Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 N was created exclusively for the German market, and continues to violate the intellectual property rights of Apple. Succeed or not an American company to retain a ban on the sale of its main competitor iPad tablet on one of the major European markets is not yet clear. On the other hand, carried away to Apple fighting only with Samsung, while other manufacturers are bringing to market a variety of models, which continue to decrease the proportion of all iPad tablet making.

Update will adjust wireless signal strength indicator

The Samsung Galaxy Nexus smartphone is going to get a software update that will adjust the device's signal strength indicator, Verizon Wireless confirmed on Wednesday, less than a week after the new Android 4.0 phone began shipping.

Verizon spokeswoman Brenda Raney didn't say when the update would arrive. Some Verizon service reps have reportedly told customers that an update related to signal strength will come in January.

In an email, Raney stressed that "there is no issue with the performance of the device." Some users have theorized that the signal issue could be related to above-normal battery drain.

Many new Galaxy Nexus customers and Computerworld blogger JR Raphael have reported problems related to inconsistent signal strength over Verizon's LTE network since the U.S. version began shipping on Dec. 15.

Raney said the Galaxy Nexus software update "will adjust the signal strength indicator to more closely match other Verizon Wireless devices." She said the Galaxy Nexus translates the wireless signal into bars differently than other smartphones.

A review copy of the Galaxy Nexus provided by Verizon to a reporter showed a variety of inconsistent signals in a Los Angeles neighborhood, switching from two bars' worth of 4G LTE service to no bars and then to 3G service. The phone would offer 4G voice connections with no bars, but it couldn't hold a data connection for the music service Pandora over LTE -- it switched to 3G with several minutes of buffering to permit Pandora music to play.

Analysts have noted that some of the issues with signal strength could be related to how well the LTE network is rolled out in a given locale. Verizon says 179 cities have LTE service, but within a particular city, some areas might have more LTE towers than others.

A German court rejected Apple's claims that Samsung Electronics' reworked tablet PC still looks like a copycat version of the iPad, in a preliminary assessment.

Apple is fighting several rival makers of smartphones and tablet PCs in courts worldwide over intellectual property.

Its battle with Samsung, which is Apple's supplier as well as a competitor, has been especially bitter, with some 30 legal cases in 10 countries.

"According to the court's assessment, the defendant has moved away sufficiently from the legally protected design," Judge Johanna Brueckner-Hofmann said in court on Thursday.

Brueckner-Hofmann added that a ruling was slated for February 9.

In response to an earlier court ruling in Apple's favour, Samsung had redesigned its Galaxy Tab 10.1 for the German market only and named it Galaxy Tab 10.1N.

But Apple challenged the reworked version as well, seeking an injunction that would ban Samsung from marketing the product in Europe's largest consumer market.

Samsung, for its part, earlier this week filed new claims in a separate dispute related to telecommunications standard technology with Apple for alleged patent infringements in Germany.
