“IPhone 4S plus iOS 5 plus iCloud is a breakthrough combination that makes the iPhone 4S the best iPhone ever,” said Apple senior vice president of worldwide marketing Philip Schiller.

HTC can appeal the ruling to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and said it might. “We are disappointed by the Commission’s ruling and look forward to reading the full opinion to understand its reasoning. We’ll explore all options, including appeal,” said Grace Lei, general counsel for HTC.

The ruling was made on a complaint that HTC filed with the ITC following a complaint lodged by Apple last year. HTC accused Apple of selling products that violate its patents relating to power management methods and phone number directories.

Based on the merits of the case, HTC isn’t likely to be successful if it does appeal, said Florian Mueller, a patent expert, in a blog post. Mueller, who is sometimes paid for his work by companies including Microsoft, has been closely following the mobile patent wars.

HTC hasn’t fared well in its disputes with Apple in front of the ITC. Late last year, the ITC found that HTC was infringing an Apple patent and issued an injunction against the importation of offending HTC products. Rather than lose sales, HTC removed technology from its phones that let users click on a phone number in an email or other application to make a phone call.

Apple has appealed that decision to the Federal Circuit in hopes of widening the scope of the ruling, Mueller said.

Cell phones are a part of everybody’s daily life. It could very well be the most used digital gadget in the world if an average is calculated. But sadly there are only a few reliable manufacturers who swear by only a few hues, therefore, every other person is seen holding very similar models in boring greys or blacks. Some people would appreciate some happy colours on their phones you know! A brand named Makemyskins.com has opened two stores in New Delhi, one each in Select City Walk Mall in Saket and Promenade Mall, Vasant Kunj, and they offer customisation of digital gadgets with unique designs. The founder, Varun Verma, says, “My family has acquired expertise in the printing business for years and I wanted to channelize my efforts into a lucrative business plan where I could incorporate this skill, thus came about Makemyskins. We basically imprint designs on superfine laminated sheets which are then pasted firmly onto the gadget. The process generally takes about 15 minutes but it can take up to 7-10 days for customised designs. Prices start at Rupees 600 for phones and Rupees 1200 for ipads and laptops. We offer designer hard casings as well for your ipod, itouch, ipad and phone”.

There are also several brands that retail understated yet impactful accessories for an added dose of modest style to your gadgets. Quality and durability are the two basic attributes in this respect and there are many brands that serve such tastes. Look for details such as hardwearing leather, practicality, spacious compartments and, of course, distinct designs. Dilip Kapur of brand Hidesign says, “Our target audience is generally between 25-40 years of age and comprises mainly of working class professionals. We keep up to the minute with contemporary designs and classic styles and offer ipad and laptop sleeves, messenger bags, laptop bags and phone covers for both men and women who like minimal, unfussy yet high-quality products”.

For someone who is looking for cheaper options to update their gadgets, there are now several stores that sell affordable imported accessories in a range of styles and designs. From phone jewellery to embellished hard cover casings, fashion that comes cheap is forever welcome.
