A new virus affecting terminal Android !!!


Kaspersky has identified a new virus on one of the most popular smartphone operating systems, IOS competitor: Google Android.



The name of the virus is "Trojan-SMS" and can hit all the terminals with operating system Android. To spread the trojan, the crackers are using Russian-language porn sites that appear in the top results in searches on various engines, once entered, any user, on any platform, are invited to download some content, but as for other file is correct, Android users will be sent the virus.

The trojan is disguised as a media player (called pornplayer.apk) into believing that a file is essential to view porn videos on the site. When installing the player on Android, the user is asked for consent to send SMS messages. If this consent is given (no, the installation is successful) and you start the application, the trojan starts sending SMS to a premium-rate number, the user's knowledge. Imagine that each message costs $ 6!

In short, the Trojans are invading smarpthone too, but at the moment, while we have already seen two Android on IOS, with some experiment expert hacker, we are still safe, especially if you have not done the jailbreak.

HP ready to launch a new smartphone with WebOS to compete with iPhone? [RUMOR]


According to some rumors it seems that HP acquired after Palm, is creating some new devices that will be direct competitors of Android and the iPhone 4. The plans of the company there is the will to become somewhat more similar to Apple, selling high quality terminals in which hardware platform to integrate software WebOS, precisely a result of the acquisition of Palm.
 The operation would be more difficult than expected because of the historic partnership that links HP Microsoft. It is difficult for the company to maintain good relations with the Redmond, which were further strengthened in recent years, while trying to reach the new goals set during the year.
In January, before the launch dell'iPad, HP climbed on stage during the presentation of the slate PCs, a move clearly designed to attack in advance and once the new Apple device. Then after shipping dell'iPad, HP plans have changed and all ongoing projects on the slate have been canceled or simply left on standby. In all likelihood the company is aware of the impending acquisition of Palm, has preferred to suspend work on a product that certainly could have given the best with the new WebOS.
Despite the repeated denials by Mark Hurd, CEO of HP, the company continues strangely not included in the list of companies licensed to use the new Windows 7 Phone and this would suggest a position quite clear that separates the house from the next generations of its Windows Mobile smartphones to work out their own solution based devices WebOS.
Certainly promises an interesting scenario for both HP could offer a competitive offer in the market for smartphones, is that Apple could find themselves before yet another 'iPhone-killer.

The Quietly Brilliant Story of HTC


Over the year, HTC has transformed itself from a faceless OEM to one of the most trusted name brands in the smartphone market.  Just to give you an idea of invisible the company’s name has been over the years, I’m sure a few of you didn’t know that HTC was the one who manufactured the HP and Compaq iPaq, Palm Treo 750, Palm Treo Pro, and the SONY Ericsson EXPRIA X1.  HTC finally started making a name for themselves when they introduced HTC Touch in 2007. Since then, the HTC brand has taken huge strides in the mindset of consumers.  Today, you’ll find it hard to watch a TV show without seeing a commercial for one of HTC’s new Windows Mobile or Android powered phones.
