Apple’s failure to begin the sales of the iPhone 4S at its main store in Beijing's Sanlitun district – which is incidentally Apple’s flagship store in China – on Friday agitated the potential buyers to such an extent that they ended up pelting eggs on the store’s shiny glass walls.

The reaction of the crowd was a clear indication of their frustration at not having got a chance to buy the much-awaited iPhone 4S even after having lined up outside the store overnight in the freezing cold weather.

A Chinese court on Wednesday dismissed Apple's request to declare it the only legal owner of the iPad trademark in China.

The Shenzhen Intermediate People's Court rejected Apple's claim that Chinese firm Proview Technology was illegally using the iPad name. The court ruled that Proview Technology had legal right to use the iPad name for its product as it had registered the trademark in China as well as many other countries as back as 2000.
