While malware across all platforms grows by 155 per cent.
Mobile phone attacks are showing no signs of slowing, as mobile malware has more than doubled, according to mobile security analyst Juniper Networks.
The firm examined more than 790,000 apps, across all mobile OSs to discover Android was the key victim, which received a malware attack rise of 3,325 per cent, across the last seven months of 2011.
Spyware and SMS Trojans made up most of the malware, withe 63 per cent and 36 per cent respectively. The attacks are growing in number, as hackers try to find new ways to profit from gaining access to mobile devices.
While Google's OS seems to offer free entry, Apple's iOS remains difficult to penetrate, though researchers managed to infiltrate the App Store with an unapproved app.
Additionally, 'fake installers', is the growing malware type, charging users for a pirated app, which should be cost-free, while lost phones also present easy access for crooks, according to the report.

Accounts for almost one-third of all mobile device sales.
The near half billion smartphone units sold in 2011, is up by 58 per cent from 2010, according to researcher Gartner.
Meanwhile, Q4 smartphone sales reached 149 million devices, which is a 47 per cent growth on Q4 2010.
As we reported, Apple became the top smartphone manufacturer in Q4 thanks to the iPhone 4S. However, it was Chinese low-end manufacturer ZTE that experienced the fastest growing adoption behind high-end Apple, shipping 18.9 million units to rise by 71 per cent on the previous year.
The boost for sales to ZTE and fellow China-based firm Huawei, came as they rolled out into new markets and improved their user experience.
Roberta Cozza, principal research analyst at Gartner, said: "Western Europe and North America led most of the smartphone growth for Apple during the fourth quarter of 2011. In Western Europe the spike in iPhone sales in the fourth quarter saved the overall smartphone market after two consecutive quarters of slow sales."

New devices will be rolled to portion of 17,000 employees.
RIM is currently trying to revive its shelf life, with development on BlackBerry 10 and a new Android app platform, which allows conversion to BlackBerry.
However, it isn't soon enough as US federal government body, the General Services Administration, is watering down use of RIM's smartphones, with the introduction of iPhones and Android-powered devices, according to Reuters.
In an interview, Casey Coleman, chief information officer, GSA, said: "We actively seek to be progressive in our adoption of new technologies so that we can learn the lessons which will inform our client and customer agencies as they seek to go down a similar path."
Initially, RIM was selected a secure means of mobile communications, but rival devices have managed to match BlackBerrys for security, leading to the arrival of direction to Apple and Google phones.
Additionally, the firm's four-day power outage last year, can't have won RIM any favours.

Companies and schools that have bought into the whole iPadthing need a place to store and charge their tablets without running miles of extension cords and power strips. Dukane clearly sees an untapped market here, and has launched the MCCD1 and MCC1. Both are caster-mounted, fire and drill resistent cabinets designed to dock and lock piles of iPads. The MCCD1 has space for up to 32 of the iOS tablets and can both charge and sync them while keeping them organized and safe. The MCC1 holds just 30 and can't sync the slates, but it will keep them juiced and locked down between uses. The MCCD1 is available starting at $2,250 while the MCC1 is a slightly more affordable $1,260. Looking for more info? Hit up the source to download PDF fact sheets.

In the wake of news that the iPhone app Path uploads users' entire contact lists without permission, Forbes dug up a study from a group of researchers at the University of California at Santa Barbara and the International Security Systems Lab that aimed to analyze how and where iPhone apps transmit users' private data. Not only did the researchers find that one in five of the free apps in Apple's app store upload private data back to the apps' creators that could potentially identify users and allow profiles to be built of their activities; they also discovered that programs in Cydia, the most popular platform for unauthorized apps that run only on 'jailbroken' iPhones, tend to leak private data far less frequently than Apple's approved apps. The researchers ran their analysis on 1,407 free apps (PDF) on the two platforms. Of those tested apps, 21 percent of official App Store apps uploaded the user's Unique Device Identifier, for instance, compared with only four percent of unauthorized apps

80 per cent of African, Indian, and Chinese smartphone users will have one.
New NPD In-Stat research says the low-cost Android smartphone segment is comprised primarily of Android 2.2 or 2.3 devices, using EDGE and housing processors running at 600MHz or lower.
Devices cost $150 or less, with early competitors in the market including Huawei, MicroMax, Motorola, Samsung, Spice, and ZTE.
It reckons a single-core EDGE chip sells for under $10, although some manufacturers will purchase from the grey market where they don't pay licensing fees, royalties, or taxes for the products they produce.
NPD believes unit shipments for low-cost Android smartphones will approach 340 million worldwide in 2015. We can assume the 80 per cent figure for emerging markets refers only to the smartphone sector, rather than all mobile devices.
Allen Nogee, research director at NPD In-Stat, reckons there will be some competition despite the momentum of Android. he said: “Samsung has bada, and Nokia is developing Meltemi. In addition, Microsoft has stated that it wants to sell Windows Phone in these developing regions as well and could aggressively lower prices to gain market share.

67 per cent for iPhone and 33 per cent for iPad.
A new report by European advertising network madvertise and app guide AppZapp said 255,922 apps launched on the UK App Store in 2011 – that's around 21,326 apps per month, spiking in December to reach 28,992 apps, ahead of Christmas.
iPhone secured two-thirds of apps, with lifestyle, education and games sectors experiencing respective growth rates of 106 per cent, 99 per cent and 94 per cent.
Meanwhile, the third of apps that were developed for iPad were dominated by educational ones, experiencing a growth rate of 205 per cent.
Books proved to be the least popular app market across both platforms, but Apple will look to change that with its iBooks initiative, which sold 350,000 textbooks, in three days.

Shares in world's most valuable company surpass $500
Entertainment giant Apple is edging closer to an unprecedented $500 billion valuation as its shares breach the $500 dollar mark for the first time.
Apple stock is currently trading at $503 at the time of going to press, marking the first time the company has surpassed the half-thousand-dollar threshold. As of Monday its valuation was calculated at $469 billion.
Five years ago Apple was trading at $53 dollars per share, but the trailblazing success of the iPad, iPhone Mac, iPod and App Store has rocketed shares skywards.
The company, now valued the biggest in the world, is worth more than Google, Goldman Sachs, General Motors, Ford, Starbucks and Boeing combined.
Strong increases in iPhone, iPad and Mac sales helped Apple generate record sales and profit for the final three months of 2011.
The show-stopping success comes amid rumours that Apple will reveal its next device, the iPad 3, at a San Francisco press conference in March.

A new survey has revealed the top ten most memorable logos voted for by UK start-ups and small business owners. Unsurprisingly, Apple takes the crown.
Small Business Logos polled businesses online to find out what makes well-known logos effective. It was also hoping to uncover trends and tips to help businesses when it comes to creating their own logos.
Participants were able to select from a range of well-known and iconic brands across a variety of sectors such as technology, retail, business products and services, consumers brands and more.
And the winners, along with a bit of analysis from Small Business Logos, are:
Apple: Clean, modern and extremely easy to reproduce
BBC: Simple, memorable and works well on TV, online and in-print
Nike: Suggestive of movement, ideal for a sports brand, and works well on the side of a trainer
Amazon: Embodying the company’s philosophy: everything from A to Z, delivered with a smile
Google: Strong primary colours, enhanced by ‘Google doodles’
London Underground: The capital’s most instantly recognised logo, the shape recalling the tube’s tunnels
UPS: Brown is symbolic of parcel paper, with the shield suggesting security
American Express: Squares and block lettering indicate strength and trust
Sky: A versatile logo that supports brand extension: SkyNews, SkyHD, SkyMovies etc
HSBC: The only logo in the top ten to use a very traditional serif font, more commonly associated with business and finance, suggesting authority
Lucy Smith, marketing and e-commerce director for Small Business Logos, said: “Logos are a crucial part of a business’ identity, and, as our winners prove, over time they become important entities in their own right, instantly conjuring up the values and key messages of a particular brand.
“We’ve taken a close look at what made our top ten to help businesses make informed choices when it comes to their own branding. Simplicity and the ability to reproduce in a range of different sizes, media and on products, is key. Think about how colour, symbols and shapes might represent what you do or the sector you operate in – Apple’s silver is widely associated with technology. If you have a growth plan factor this in to your thinking when briefing the initial logo; consider how versatile it is if your business develops?
“Creating a strong, memorable logo can really enhance the success of your business. Use the clues provided by the UK’s market leaders to make your company’s branding relevant, clear and on-target. And if I can give you one piece of advice, keep it simple.”

Mobile virtual assistant joins iOS to do battle with Siri.
Since Apple introduced Siri on the iPhone 4S, mobile assistants seems to keep appearing and Speaktoit is the latest one to do so.
The voice-controlled iOS app allows users to call people, update social networks, play music and make notes.
Additionally, Speaktoit claims to be able to rival Siri by searching maps outside of the US, offering regular updates and compatibility with iPhones 3GS and 4. Users are also able to customise the appearance of their assistant.
The app was originally developed for Android, boasting 1.4 million downloads and receiving a 'Top Ten Android App of 2011' title from the New York Times.
It's priced at $1.99 on the Apple App Store, but the first 100,000 downloads today (Valentine's Day) will receive the app for free.

There's been plenty of controversy regarding the visual similarities between NimbleBit's popular Tiny Tower and Zynga's Dream Heights, but now the public can check out the full monty. Zynga announced that Dream Heights, which "surely isn't the first of many great games already in this category" according to the publisher, is now widely available. Zynga describes Dream Heights as the "most social" game of its kind, allowing players to invite their Facebook friends to the mobile title.
As of this writing there are two polar reviews:
1 star: "Simply awful and shameful attempt to capitalize on the success of Tiny Tower."
5 stars: "Dream Heights is beautiful, fun and polished. Another must-play from Zynga."
Check out Dream Heights and let us know what you think.

Government authorities and retailers have reportedly begun removing iPads from stores in China this morning, in apparent response to a ruling issued in December. According to China's Hebei Youth Daily, local representatives of the country's Administrations of Industry and Commerce (AIC) have started confiscating Apple's tablet from retail outlets, with some merchants are voluntarily removing the device from their storefronts as a pre-emptive measure. The scope of this operation remains unclear, thoughChina.com reports that as of 5:00 PM yesterday, authorities had seized some 45 iPad 2s. Retailers who voluntarily removed their iPads apparently did so to protect their stocks from confiscation, and are reportedly continuing to sell the tablet behind the counter. These reports come nearly two months after Apple lost a trademark lawsuit against Proview Technology, which successfully defended its ownership of the iPad name within China. We're still waiting to see whether this is part of a larger nationwide campaign and Apple has yet to comment, but we'll update this post as soon as we hear more.
Update: China's iFeng is now reporting that these seizures took place in the city of Shijiazhuang, as part of what appears to be an isolated campaign.

Murmurs of an iPad 3 on the horizon not doing it for you? How about a new pseudo-3D interface? A patent filing has whet our appetites with the possibility (that's what it is; a possibility) of a future Appledevice capable of gauging depth and displaying a 3D environment based on the user's eye movement. On-screen content would adjust to your eye movement, expanding items where ever your eyesight falls. It would also create a "virtual 3D operating system environment," where the user would feel like the UI projects beyond the two-dimensional screen. The patent includes details on 'realistic' drop shadows for icons and other OS furniture based on the degree and angle of ambient light. The filing, from April 2010, says that the technology would use an accelerometer, GPS and 'gyrometer' to reference the placement of the device and report on its movements. Sound interesting? Those in need of more foggy details and line drawings can hit up the full patent request at the source below.

The invites haven't even been sent out and yet the frenzied speculation about what Tim Cook will whip out on stage at next month's purported announcement has begun. The Wall Street Journal believes Cupertino's planning to produce a smaller, 8-inch slate to partner its 9.7-inch flagship. Unnamed sources at the company's suppliers say it'll pack a screen with a resolution close to the 1024 x 768 display on the current model. This jibes with what we've heard about the iPad 3 toting a Retina Display -- unless the smaller unit is aimed at budget buyers. The report claims test panels are being produced by AU Optronics and LG Display and that this model might also run on LTE. It's probably fair to point out that Apple is famous for producing prototypes in a wide variety of sizes that will never see the light of day, so don't get your hopes up too soon.

The Fair Labor Association has responded to a request from Apple, and will begin to inspect the Foxconn manufacturing plant this week.
"We believe that workers everywhere have the right to a safe and fair work environment, which is why we've asked the FLA to independently assess the performance of our largest suppliers," said Apple CEO.
"The inspections now under way are unprecedented in the electronics industry, both in scale and scope, and we appreciate the FLA agreeing to take the unusual step of identifying the factories in their reports."
Foxconn manufactures hardware for a number of industry titans, including Apple, Sony and Microsoft. If the name is familiar it's almost certainly due to the negative press the Chinese factory has received regarding the treatment of its workers.
The inspection will include interviews with the workers and management and checks of both working and living areas, as many of the staff live in dormitory style accommodation.
Combined with inspections of Quanta and Pagatron, this will mean that over 90 per cent of Apple's manufactured products will be from an FLA checked facility.

If you were expecting a radically different-looking tablet from the iPad 2, prepare for a minor letdown. In the same way Apple upgraded the iPhone 4 into the iPhone 4S, the exterior of the iPad 3 mirrors that of the iPad 2, despite completely renovated and upgraded innards. iLab Factory reportedly provided Sharp with the necessary parts to build the high-resolution iPad 3 display, and in a company blog post, various iPad 3 components are displayed alongside those of the iPad 2 for quick comparison. In addition to a new camera mount that will reportedly match or improve upon the 8-megapixel camera system in the iPhone 4S, the post also revealed that the iPad 3 will be approximately 1 mm thicker than its predecessor to house Apple's upgraded components, including a bigger battery, an improved camera, and a dual-LED lit system to make the 2048 x 1536 display even brighter.

US chain Meijer strips $70 from the 16GB wi-fi version.
In December, we reported that the iPad 3 was expected to launch in the first quarter of this year.
Now, rumours are building as Apple Insider says Meijer has cut $70 from the price of the 16GB wi-fi iPad 2, now falling to $429.
A significant move, given that Apple products are famously never reduced without notable events such as Black Friday or Christmas coming up, or alternatively the release of a new device.
Presumably, Meijer's sale is in an attempt to clear stock ahead of the iPad 3's speculated March unveiling.
The tablet is predicted to run LTE and an A6 processor. Additionally, Apple is reportedly auditioning apps to demonstrate at the iPad 3 launch, just as it did last year with the iPad 2 and iMovie.

OEM's first Ice Cream Sandwich tablet features Face Unlock and AllShare.
The seven inch Galaxy Tab 2 is the first major upgrade to the range since the first device in 2010.
It is not a radical update in hardware terms, with 1GHz dual core processor, three-megapixel rear-facing camera, Bluetooth capabilities and HSPA+ connectivity.
So it's really all about software. The new Tab offers the various Samsung Hub range (Music, Reader and Games), and now includes the new Video Hub, which offers over 1,000 film titles for purchase or rent.
It's all accessible via an upgraded Touchwiz user interface while a new service, S Suggest, offers real-time recommendations of apps suited to customers’ tastes directly on the home screen.
But the two most eye catching additions are probably Face Unlock and All Share.

Is Apple releasing too many products to keep consumers hooked?
Apple's incredible fourth quarter in 2011 included 37 million iPhone sales, 15.4 million iPad sales, but just five million Mac sales. That's probably what drove iOS to overtake its desktop counterpart in terms of web traffic.
Market researcher Chitika says the gap between iOS and OS X web market shares has been narrowing since August 2011. iOS has increased by almost 50 per cent, while OS X fell by 25 per cent.
This month, iOS secured 8.15 per cent of all web traffic, while Mac OS X retains just 7.96 per cent, according to the report.
While Apple is known for committed users, Chitika says it's likely users have moved to Apple's mobile devices from Mac because of the lower cost and also to cater to the growing on-the-move lifestyle that users have.
Additionally, the research firm points out that Apple's regular product releases could be the company's downfall, prompting consumers to look elsewhere for alternative items.
