No, this isn’t the good kind of Trojan(s) attack. Yes, there’s a new email scam that downloads malware onto your Windows machine, giving hackers control over your computer.

SoundHound takes on Shazam with freemium iPhone and iPad app offering
If you have an iPhone, chances are you’ve probably come across the song-identification app Shazam in the AppStore. What you may not have known is that there’s an alternative to Shazam that’s better and faster (there’s a song title pun in here somewhere, but we’ll steer clear for now) at identifying songs.

Waiting to get your hands on an HTC Desire from O2 in the UK? Well, seeing as how we were expecting the Desire to launch on O2 in April and we’re only a few days away from May, it doesn’t look like O2 is going to meet their initial launch goals for the Android smartphone.…
Hands-on with the White BlackBerry Bold 9700
The White BlackBerry Bold 9700 was mentioned in RIM’s WES 2010 keynote earlier today as the new “Stylish White Bold 9700.” It’s just a color variant of the venerable BlackBerry Bold 9700, but the elegant white color scheme really makes the handset stand out in a sea of drab-colored smartphones.

Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit plays nice with keyboards, headphones
You’d think Apple’s iPad Camera Connection Kit would be locked down to only work with things like, you know, cameras and stuff. But, you’d be wrong. New reports indicate that the Camera Connection Kit works well with other peripherals, like USB keyboards, USB headphones/headsets, and even USB microphones.

RIM just announced their latest BlackBerry smartphone, the BlackBerry Bold 9650, and we’ve gone hands-on with the handset at WES 2010.
