FireCore's Infuse app is already handy for iOS users who want to play less common video formats; with the 1.3 release, it might prove vital. The new version brings AirPlay, letting viewers push any of 14 video codecs to their Apple TV. Transfers should also be simple now that users can use a web browser or FTP client to copy videos over WiFi. There's even a social aspect to 1.3 -- Infuse now sends play counts and ratings to trakt.tv, and users can advertise what they're watching through Facebook and Twitter. If VLC for iOS isn't quite your cup of tea, you can spend $5 at the App Store to try FireCore's take on mobile movie playback.

US government blocks Apple sale and import ban in Samsung feud

[Image: Apple-Samsung-008.jpg]

The Obama administration has ordered that a proposed ban on the sale and import of certain Apple products be scrapped. The order represents government intervention in a bitter patent row between the iPhone maker and rival Samsung.
In a letter to the US International Trade Commission (ITC), US trade representative Michael Froman said he had decided to disapprove the body's earlier ruling – which would have banned older iPads and iPhones due to patent infringement. As such, Apple would be free to continue to sell the items.
The letter stated that the decision was made after "extensive consultations" and was based on Froman's "review of the various policy considerations … as they relate to the effect on competitive conditions in the US economy and the effect on US consumers".
The move overturns a June decision by the ITC which found in favour of Samsung in an increasingly bitter spat between the two tech firms over patent rights. The trade body concluded that certain Apple products – including older iPhone and iPad models made to run on AT&T and T-Mobile USA networks – had infringed a Samsung patent relating to the ability of devices to transmit services simultaneously through 3G wireless technology. Apple complained that the trade ban imposed by the ITC was inappropriate.
Despite finding against the ban, the Obama administration signalled that Samsung could seek other redress. Froman wrote: "My decision to disapprove this determination does not mean that the patent owner in this case is not entitled to a remedy. On the contrary, the patent owner may continue to pursue its rights through the courts."
The two smartphone makers have lodged a series of legal complaints regarding alleged patent infringements in recent years. Last year, Apple was awarded more than $1bn in damages after Samsung was ruled to have copied critical features of its mobile products.

Algoriddim launches Djay 2 with sample player, HD waveforms and a party starting pedi




If you own an iDevice, and don't know Djay by Algoriddim, then frankly you should. Even Apple loved it enough to feature it in its own marketing materials and give it a design award. Now, it's back with a remix, or more precisely, version two. Djay 2 brings with it a bevy of new features, including: a built-in sampler, HD waveforms, slip mode (scratch without ruining your mix) and enhanced support for hardware controllers (details listed in the press release below). There are also some neat UI tweaks, not only to let you access the new HD waveform view (similar to that of Traktor DJ), or use a single deck portrait view for increased visibility, but other neat details such as "grooves" in the virtual vinyl that match the flow of your tracks (for spotting the breakdowns). There's a demo video past the break, but if you're the hands-on type, you can skip straight through to the App store and get it for yourself. Like the fees for the DJs who will be spinning with it, the prices are low right now ($0.99 for iPhone, $4.99 for iPad during launch week), but expect them to go up once your buddies hear about it.
