Sideloading apps on Android implies a whole set of security holes, but the new malware scanner included in Android 4.2 could provide a much-needed plug. Talking to Computerworld, Android VP of Engineering Hiroshi Lockheimer revealed that Google's been analyzing APKs that crop up online, regardless of whether they're official market apps or not, in order to maintain a growing database of good and bad code. The scanner -- shown above -- then works in a similar way to the Bouncer on the front gate, comparing all the apps on your phone to that database. The new sentry helps Google build upon other Android 4.2 security features such as an improved app permission screen and a block against apps sending premium SMS messages in the background. On the other hand, some might say that collecting samples of existing malware will never be as powerful as truly understanding its DNA.

The art of smishing (SMS-Phishing) has been practiced for some time, but a discovery by the wizards atNC State University has uncovered a new vulnerability that could bring the aforesaid act back into the spotlight. Xuxian Jiang's research team recently identified the hole and confirmed that it impacts Gingerbread, Ice Cream Sandwich and Jelly Bean. Put simply, if an Android user downloads an infected app, the attacking program can "make it appear that the user has received an SMS, or text, message from someone on the phone's contact list or from trusted banks." This fake message can solicit personal information, such as passwords for user accounts. The team isn't going to disclose proof until Google patches it up, but the school has said that Google will be addressing it "in a future Android release." For now, however, Jiang recommends additional caution when downloading and installing apps from unknown sources, while also suggesting that folks pay close attention to received SMS text messages.

It's well established that the A6X chip in the fourth-generation iPad is about twice as fast as its predecessor in pure number crunching, but how about those reportedly doubled graphics amid some increasingly fierce competition? Thanks to some help from Kishonti, AnandTech has learned that Apple may still have an ace up its sleeve. The new tablet carries a new, quad-core PowerVR SGX554MP4 with twice the raw potential as the already quick 543MP4 graphics in the A5X. While that doesn't always lead to a literal doubling of 3D performance, it unambiguously puts the new new iPad on top in GLBenchmark, with even the imminent Nexus 10's new Mali-T604 video left in the middle of a large pack. We're somewhat surprised when the Samsung-made Nexus is using a brand new chip architecture that many had thought would represent a fundamental leap in speed. Visuals aren't the only factors in buying tablets, so take the results with the appropriate grains of salt; if gaming or sheer responsiveness matters most, however, there's now a clear frontrunner.

Microsoft may be developing its own smartphone model free from its current partnerships with cellular providers.
Wall Street Journal sources claiming to be Microsoft parts suppliers state that the firm is working with Chinese and Korean component manufacturers to finalize the new hardware's design.
The sources add that Microsoft is strongly considering a 5-inch screen — larger than current smartphone leaders iPhone 5 and Samsung Galaxy SIII. That said, the report states the company isn’t sure if the product will ever go into mass production.
Microsoft currently produces its smartphones in partnership with Nokia and HTC.

A pair of reports by Juniper and Bit9 confirm the suspicion that many apps are spying on users. '26 percent of Android apps in Google Play can access personal data, such as contacts and email, and 42 percent, GPS location data... 31 percent of the apps access phone calls or phone numbers, and 9 percent employ permissions that could cost the user money, such as incurring premium SMS text message charges... nearly 7 percent of free apps can access address books, 2.6 percent, can send text messages without the user knowing, 6.4 percent can make calls, and 5.5 percent have access to the device's camera.' The main issue seems to be with poor development practices. Only in a minority of cases is there malicious intent. The Juniper report and the Bit9 report are both available online.

The US firm has released the latest update to its under-fire mobile operating system iOS6.Users have been waiting for an update to the OS ever since its release, which has been heavily criticised by users for its removal of a number of fan-favourite features such as the built-in YouTube app.iOS6 also staged the introduction of Apple's own mapping service, which too drew anguish from Apple fans as the app was found to be riddled with bugs and often had trouble locating users accurately.Apple's own mapping service was introduced in order to replace the previously used Google Maps, another app favoured by Apple and iOS users.iOS6.0.1 provides very few new features and tweaks for users.In fact, the most noticeable change for users adopting the new update is the addition of a large button to Apple's mapping service, which users can use to report the various bugs and issues they encounter whilst using the service.http://www.pcr-online.biz/news/read/...-update/029524

Electronic Arts has released an update for the iOS version of Battlelog. The new update adds "initial support" for Medal of Honor: Warfighter, as well as support for the iPhone 5 according to the Battlelog Twitter account. The iTunes listing for Battlelog also notes that the update packs in support for iOS 6 (though strangely doesn't mention the Warfighter support).
Finally, Battlelog can put that extra screen real estate to use, giving you more space than ever for your friends' aggressive victory messages and lewd emoticons.

Been waiting for Apple to refresh its mobile operating system? Well, the wait is over, as Cupertino has just released iOS 6.0.1 with the promise of improvements and bug fixes. We just grabbed the update ourselves, and among the highlights are: a fix for the iPhone 5's inability to receive OTA software updates, problems with the phone and the 5th-gen iPod Touch connecting to WPA2 encrypted WiFi networks, and other cellular connectivity issues as well. There's also fixes for a passcode lock bug, a graphical keyboard glitch and a bug that prevented the 5's camera flash from firing. Sound good? Go grab the download and let us know how it's treating you in the comments below.
Update: Thanks to our friends at TUAW, we should point out that iPhone 5 owners will need to download an updater app before they can grab 6.0.1.

That was quick -- not long after launch details of the LG Mach were caught lurking in Sprint's catalog, the carrier has confirmed them. Fans of the Korean firm's aesthetic who also like their QWERTY keyboards can buy the mid-range smartphone for $100 on November 11th, the same day its bigger Optimus Gcousin reaches stores. Just be sure to avoid the Sprint website during the wait for the newly dated device; Optimus G pre-orders have started at the source link, and a click on LG's flagship could be mighty tempting.

What kind of movement does a theft entail? Apple's in the process of figuring that out, today filing a patent application for a, "acceleration-based theft detection system for portable electronic devices." Apple pickers: you've just been put on watch. According to the patent filing, said device would activate an alarm of some form after determining, "whether a theft condition is present." It'll apparently figure that out based on the accelerometer built into many of Apple's mobile devices -- the same thing that figures out which way you're holding your phone. Beyond just the hardware, said theft protection system would work in concert with software to determine if the movement matches a pre-determined "profile characteristic of theft."
Of course, Apple's not the only one worried about mobile device theft, as Google already patented just such a device pertaining to its Project Glass concept. But the you'd have to be pretty brazen to steal the glasses off of someone's face without "accidentally" socking them in the eye.

The Kickstarted Ouya console has stepped closer to reality with an OS upgrade and its first printed circuit boards. The Ouya team gave two updates of the console's progress towards release.
"Our CAD models and SLAs (plastic prototypes that provide us with a physical look and feel of the product) are finished, and we moved out of the design phase and into development a couple of weeks ago," wrote Ouya CEO Julie Uhrman in the first update.
 The first real version of the Ouya console.
"Last week was a huge milestone for us - we received our first development run of PCBs (Printed Circuit Boards) for the console. We're set to complete this EVT phase on time, and we're in sync with our December target for developer kits. Since these dev kits are still in pre-production phase, we'll build a limited quantity. Each one will be a collector's item - unique in design, build and appearance."
Ouya will now be using the new version of Android, Jelly Bean (4.2).The second update also outlined the system's use of 720p, 1080i, and 1080p, with widescreen aspect ratios. Games on the Ouya will be full screen, with no navigation bar. The system's controller will include standard gamepad buttons, a touchpad, a system button for pausing and system settings, and "no back, menu, or volume buttons".
Uhrman also revealed that any developers who missed out on the Kickstarter drive can still get in on the developer kit action.
"If you missed the Kickstarter drive, but you're still interested in an early version of the console that you can use as a Dev Kit, you're in luck. We're making a few extra. Please visit www.ouya.tv in the near future and order one (we'll let you know when it's available). Of course, they won't carry the same rewards as the Kickstarter Dev Kits, but you will receive a console, two controllers and early access to test your game on OUYA! These units will start shipping in the new year," she wrote.

The UK court of appeal has lambasted Apple for its Samsung lawsuit acknowledgement posted last week.
The iPhone creators will have to alter the working of the statement, which it ruled to be non-compliant, and post it on the homepage – not hide it behind a link, The Guardian reports.
Apple has been ordered to change the wording within 48 hours. It must be published in at least 11-point font. Apple had asked for 14 days in which to make the change, but the judge ruled that “he could not believe” the process would take that long.
The main objections seemed to be that the post was too long, containing an additional four paragraphs about other court cases that it had won against Samsung. This, the judge felt, was "a plain breach of the order".
The company was also told off for not posting the adverts containing the statement as instructed.
The judge ruling, made earlier this month, arrived after it was ruled that Samsung’s Galaxy tablet range does not infringe on Apple iPad patents, despites Apple’s court allegations.
Apple has in a lawsuit claimed that the Galaxy line “blatantly imitates the appearance of Apple’s products to capitalize on Apple’s success”.

"iTunes has been criticized in the past for being slow and growing increasingly unwieldy as more and more media types have been added to what used to be simply a music player. Apple announced iTunes 11, the latest version of the program, at its iPhone 5 event in September and said the update would be released by the end of October, but Apple's deadline for the upgrade has slipped. 'The new iTunes is taking longer than expected and we wanted to take a little extra time to get it right,' Apple told technology site AllThingsD. 'We look forward to releasing this new version of iTunes with its dramatically simpler and cleaner interface and seamless integration with iCloud before the end of November.' The update is said to be the most significant upgrade to iTunes in the 11-year life of the program, which has grown from a simple music player to the most powerful retailer in the music business — and a force in the movie, television and e-books businesses — and, on Apple's PCs, the portal to its app store."

Bit9 study shows 72 per cent of users use at least one high-risk permission app.
More than 100,000 Android apps pose a significant security risk to mobile users and the enterprise networks to which they connect, a Bit9 research report has shown.
The research project analysed the security permissions of over 400,000 Android applications. And with more smartphones today running Android than any other operating system, the study was based specifically on Google Play applications.
An application could be defined as suspicious according to the permissions requested by the app, its categorisation, user rating, number of downloads, and the reputation of the application’s publisher. Subsequently, Bit9 found that of the 400,000 mobiles in question, 72 per cent use at least one high-risk permission.
Furthermore, the study also shows that 42 per cent of applications access GPS location data, and these include wallpapers, games and utilities, with 31 per cent accessing phone calls or phone numbers.
It is also reported that 26 per cent access personal data, such as contacts and email, while nine per cent use permissions that can cost the user money.
Harry Sverdlove, chief technology officer for Bit9, commented on the findings: “A significant percentage of Google Play apps have access to potentially sensitive and confidential information. When a seemingly basic app such as a wallpaper requests access to GPS data, this raises a red flag. Likewise, more than a quarter of the apps can access email and contacts unbeknown to the phone user, which is of great concern when these devices are used in the workplace.”
Meanwhile, the results of a nine-month study by AdaptiveMobile recently revealed that Android battery apps are among the highest source of mobile malware in the UK.

In a post-Windows 8 launch interview, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer has referred to Apple as a "low-volume player, except in tablets."
The comments followed Ballmer's discussion of the Windows business model following the launch of both the firm's Surface tablet device, and its new operating system Windows 8, which has already amassed four million upgrades worldwide.
He continued to state that he does not believe the firm is attempting to mimic Apple.
There is a great deal of truth to the comments made by the CEO, as Apple's share of the PC market sat at just 13.6 per cent as detailed within third-quarter results.
"In the PC market, obviously the advantage of diversity has mattered since 90-something percent of PCs that get sold are Windows PCs," said Ballmer in an interview with the Wall Street Journal.
Likewise, Apple certainly isn't a low-volume player within the tablet market as recent figures highlight the firm has sold over 100 million of its iPad devices since its launch just two and a half years ago.
Analysts believe this dominance is only set to increase with the upcoming release of the iPad Mini, forecasting that Apple will sell close to 101.6 million iPads in 2013.
Interestingly, Ballmer fails to mention smartphones within his comments, which would give the impression that Microsoft leads Apple in this category too.
Figures would strongly indicate otherwise.
Google's Android OS clears both firms with easy, taking the smartphone market title by holding a 52.2 per cent market share.
Apple sits at 33.4 per cent according to recent iPhone 5 pre-order numbers, whilst Microsoft has just a 3.6 per cent hold on the space, a number the firm will be hoping to increase with HTC's Windows Phone 8X.

Samsung’s compact version of its flagship smartphone will be available in the UK from November 8th.
Available to buy across all major networks, key retailers and etailers, the Galaxy S3 Mini runs on Google’s latest operating system, Android 4.1 Jelly Bean.
Simon Stanford, Vice President, Telecommunications & Networks, Samsung UK and Ireland said: “Our latest addition to the Galaxy portfolio, the Galaxy S III Mini brings the high performance, intuitive ease-of-use and nature-inspired design of the Galaxy S III in a new elegant yet compact form.
“Following the massive success and popularity of the Galaxy S III and all its features, we are confident customers will enjoy the Galaxy SIII Mini when it hits the shelves on the 8th November.”
Although named the ‘Mini’, this handset still offers an impressive 4-inch AMOLED screen and a 5MP camera.
Samsung's JK Shin unveiled the Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini earlier this month at an event in Germany, where he explained that there has been 'a lot of demand for a 4-inch screen in Europe'.

Researchers at Intel are reportedly working on a 48-core processor for smartphones and tablets.
However, according to Computer World, it could be as much as five to ten years before these devices are seen in the market.
“I think the desire to move to more natural interfaces to make the interaction much more human-like is really going to drive the computational requirements," Intel’s CTO, Justin Rattner, told Computer World.
"Having large numbers of cores to generate very high performance levels is the most energy efficient way to deliver those performance levels.”
The chip vendor usually works on five to ten years plans, indicating that these chips are a very recent idea and perhaps are reflective of Intel’s state of readiness for the eruption of interest in the tablet category.

The upcoming Android gaming tablet Wikipad was set to launch today, but the company's representatives have sent along a statement from the development team (which you can read in full after the break) saying that the launch has been delayed. According to the statement, the device's release was moved in order to take advantage of a "last minute opportunity" to "ensure our first customers are completely satisfied with the Wikipad." Unfortunately, no new launch date has been set yet.
The team says that it's working with GameStop on dealing with current pre-orders, and that anyone who's already pre-ordered the product will not only get the "refined and upgraded" bundle when it's eventually released, but "a special bonus gift" as well. Again, there's no indication when that might happen, so we'll just have to wait and see what Wikipad's plans are going forward.
