Typo loses case against BlackBerry, ordered by jury to pay up $860,000 in damages

While we are flattered by the desire to graft our keyboard onto other smartphones, we will not tolerate the deliberate use of our iconic design without proper permission. - BlackBerry

Typo needs to pay BlackBerry US $860,000 in damages according to a federal judge that ruled Typo had violated an injunction barring sales of its original iPhone keyboard case and continued to sell the product even after it was ordered to stop.

Typo makes keyboard cases for Apple's iPhone that add a tactile QWERTY keyboard for more precise typing. The original Typo keyboard copied the look and feel of BlackBerry's famed keyboard, including button shape as well as the metal frets that divide the rows of keys. These are designs that have long been recogniseable parts of BlackBerry devices.

HTC One (M8) units on TELUS and Rogers finally getting Lollipop OS update

The Android Lollipop OS 5.0.1 is finally coming to Canadian HTC One (M8) owners. The update weighs in at around 500 mb and brings various changes to the flagship phone bringing impreoved performance, the Material Design UI updates as well as expected tweaks to HTC's Sense UI and various apps and features. 

Android's Lollipop OS has been one of the slowest and most convoluted rollouts ( older Nexus Devices like the Nexus 7 2013 haven't even received it yet), so it is good to see great hardware like the HTC One (M8) get the latest, greatest software. The update is available via an OTA update on TELUS and Rogers devices.
