Nokia's court win is another blow for HTC One
A court ruling made by the Amsterdam District Court seems likely to further delay shipments of the HTC One, a device beleaguered by delivery delay reports nearly since its February launch.
As reported by the BBC, the Netherlands court decided in favor of Nokia in its court case against HTC, effectively banning HTC from using the microphone components in its flagship HTC One smartphones which are identical to those found in Nokia devices. The ruling, effective until March 2014 and not limited to the Netherlands, prevents STMicro, which sells the microphone parts invented by Nokia, from offering them to HTC for sale. HTC has said it will look for alternative components while STMicro promises to challenge the ruling.
HTC had already pushed back its shipment schedule from a March to April timeframe for its newest smartphone. Much blame has been placed on the "ultrapixel" technology behind the HTC One for driving the delays, due to a camera component shortage and HTC's struggling relationships with its suppliers.

No Nikon camera we've tested to date balances stills and video capture as well as the Nikon Z7. Though autofocus is less reliable than the D850, Nikon's first full-frame mirrorless gets enough right to earn our recommendation.
Nikon's Coolpix P1000 has moved the zoom needle from 'absurd' to 'ludicrous,' with an equivalent focal length of 24-3000mm. While it's great for lunar and still wildlife photography, we found that it's not suited for much else.
As a stills camera the Fujifilm X-T3 is a pleasant update to one of our favorite APS-C cameras, significantly improving the autofocus. If you're interested in stills and video, though, it's knockout.
The Nikon Z7 is slated as a mirrorless equivalent to the D850, but it can't subject track with the same reliability as its DSLR counterpart. AF performance is otherwise good, except in low light where hunting can lead to missed shots.
The Canon EOS R is the first full frame mirrorless camera to use the new RF mount. We're well underway putting it through our range of standard tests – take a look at how it compares to the competition and our thoughts on using it so far.
