AT&T sues Verizon over ad campaign, Spring Design sues Barnes & Noble over Nook, China Ontrade leaks alleged 4th gen iPhone part
AT&T is suing Verizon over its "there's a map for that" ad campaign, which compares the areas in the United States covered by AT&T and Verizon's 3G networks. AT&T says the side-by-side comparison implies that AT&T offers no coverage at all outside of the blue areas seen above. In reality those areas have 2G coverage, while Verizon's entire network is 3G.
That's not the only lawsuit going on. Spring Design is suing Barnes & Noble, claiming that B&N's new Nook e-reader steals features from Spring Design's Alex device.
China Ontrade claims to have the "midboard" of a fourth generation iPhone due for release in the next several months. The component doesn't tell us much about the phone except that it exists. It's worth mentioning because this same source leaked an accurate component of the iPhone 3GS before its announcement.
