The upgrades to the Galaxy S II smartphone will mean it will be on sale “shortly,’ a spokesperson for the company confirmed yesterday, although failed to specify exactly when.

Apple are accusing Samsung of stealing ten patent technologies used on iPhone, which it claims the Koreans copied for its Galaxy handset, released in Australia earlier this year.

The Dutch court ruled in August, only one patents was violated however – EP 2059868 which relates to camera technology (portable electronic device for photo management) and how users scroll thorugh photos.

The 4.3″ Galaxy S II has 8Mp camera, 1.2GHz dual core processor, and Super AMOLED screen technology and seen as a major threat to the reign of iPhone 4 (and the iPhone 4S, when released).

Samsung’s Galaxy S and Ace was also included in the ban which extended across several Europe countries including UK, France, Germany, Finland, Ireland, Sweden, Switzerland.

The judge did however, allow Samsung’s a  grace period to address the infringement, which ends tomorrow, October 14 – the same day the iPhone 4S goes on sale in US and Australia.

“We’ve fixed the technological problem and upgraded products to address the issue. They will be shortly available for sale,” Samsung spokesman James Chung said.
