More patent buying from Samsung ... "Samsung has bought the mobile-phone technology division of CSR - the British firm formerly known as Cambridge Silicon Radio. The $310m (£198m) deal includes patents to the firm's bluetooth, wi-fi and GPRS location innovations. Samsung said the move would allow its semiconductor unit to "strengthen" its line-up of mobile-device processors. The firm's chips are already used in its best-selling Galaxy handsets as well as Apple's iPhones and iPads. Samsung competes for business from other handset makers against the chip-makers Qualcomm, Texas Instruments and Intel." Source: BBC |
