Android gets new, increasingly advanced malware

Lookout is now warning us about a new threat that could possibly infect our Android phones. The latest development is a new type of malware that bypasses Google’s jurisdiction to get direct access to your phone. It’s scary stuff. Last month Google remotely removed more than 25 applications from the market on the conviction that these were hiding a malware called DroidDream within its files. After Google handled the applications, these same guys went on to develop this new browser-based malware that is more advanced than any other ever developed … Read more

Nielsen: Mobile data in the U.S. is cheap

Nielson released some new information regarding how smartphone data usage has changed in the past year and it shows that usage has gone up even though prices haven’t. It’s no doubt that the amount of smartphones in the market has increased dramatically and this is all thanks to the growth of Android and the iPhone 4 being available on the two largest U.S. carriers. Accordingly, the mobile data usage is going up along with the “smartphone boom,” but Nielson’s report says prices are actually dropping. This report included millions of … Read more

Samsung vs Apple patent battle might be coming to an end

Samsung and Apple have been going at it for quite some time now, making some pretty interesting legal claims that the other is stealing their technology, but rumor has it they might settle out of court. After Apple just settled a deal with Nokia to pay them for their technology being used in their iPhones, they might now be looking at another settlement with one of their business partners. Samsung is one of Apple’s biggest parts suppliers, with over $5.7 billion-worth of products going to Apple, so a settlement might … Read more

This bad boy, the same one that made headlines when leaked as the HTC Doubleshot, now goes by the name myTouch 4G Slide.

New Samsung Galaxy S II ad takes another direction

Samsung has been working hard to create quality ads for their new Galaxy S II, but this one leaves me questioning its intention. This new ad was posted just a few days ago, and it comes with a slightly different flow than the usual Galaxy S II commercials. Generally, Galaxy S II ads have gone on about things that make the device much better than the rest. The ads have shown off the phone’s thinness, voice-activated features, fast processor, and other key features. This video on the other hand doesn’t … Read more

U.S. government spent $117 million on BlackBerry devices over last decade

When it comes to spending money on technology, we’d like to believe we are best at it, but apparently you don’t work for the US government. It appears that after the government gets your tax checks in, they go on a tech shopping spree much like we do when we get our tax returns. Gizmodo went on a digging adventure and turned up with a few good facts about how the government is spending money on technology. From the information found in the Federal Procurement Data System, the government spends … Read more

New Motorola Xoom 2 slips out in Verizon ad?

An ad was posted on YouTube yesterday, and then later set to private view, which showed an unidentified Android Honeycomb tablet. It could very well be the next Motorola Xoom, considering that Verizon has been hyped up on all things Android lately, and Android-powered devices making up most of their smartphone and tablet selection. Their latest commercial leaves us wondering what they have coming next. The video showed off a tablet that runs Honeycomb, has a very clean-looking front, and was running on Verizon’s network. The device closely resembles the … Read more
