Psion Drops Lawsuit Over "Netbook" Term

Video game industry in flux as E3 opens
People download 99-cent games for their iPhones, Web sites offer free online games and consumer spending is down. Is this the time to be promoting $200 video-gaming consoles and $60 games? But that's what's going on this week in Los Angeles, where the video game industry will show off its newest toys.
Psion Drops Lawsuit Over "Netbook" Term
Netbook is the term coined by Intel in early 2008 for small, cheap, low-powered subnotebooks. However, late last year, Psion began issuing cease-and-desist letters to users of the word "netbook," based on a trademark claim for the Netbook Pro, a device it no longer sells. Things escalated, all the way to a lawsuit by Psion against Intel, but it appears sanity has returned, as a settlement has been reached.
