Google Set To Join Samsung In Fight With Apple

Google is set to join Samsung in their fight with Apple after a US Judge last week laid the groundwork for the Googly Nexus smartphone which is manufactured by Samsung to be banned in the USA. Samsung has said it plans to appeal last week's court ruling with Company insiders in Korea now claiming that Google has been recruited to put pressure on Apple by demanding royalties for patents that they own.

"It's too early to comment on our game plan (with Google) in the legal battle; but we will do our best to get more royalties from Apple, which has benefited from our technology," a Samsung insider told The Korea Times.

Samsung and Google were planning to release a new version of the Galaxy Nexus running the latest version of Android, named Jelly Bean; however, this could be put on hold as Google, Samsung and Apple fight it out.

A Samsung executive told the Korea Times: "The fight is becoming more dramatic and the possibility of a truce in the form of a cross-licensing deal, seems to be becoming likely."
