The Kindle Touch has been rooted! There’s a proof video embedded after the break, but the best part about this discovery is that [Yifan Lu] wrote in-depth about how he discovered and exploited a security hole in the device.
The process begins by getting a dump of the firmware. If you remove the case it’s not hard to find the serial port on the board, which he did. But by that time someone else had already dumped the image and uploaded it. We guess you could say that [Yifan] was shocked by what he found in the disassembly. This a ground-up rewrite compared to past Kindle devices and it seems there’s a lot to be hacked. The bootloader is not locked, but messing around with that is a good way to brick the device. The Javascript, which is the language used for the UI, is not obfuscated and Amazon included many hooks for later plugins. Long story short, hacks for previous Kindles won’t work here, but it should be easy to reverse engineer the software and write new ones.
Gaining access to the device is as easy as injecting some HTML code into the UI. It is then run by the device as root (no kidding!). [Yifan] grabbed an MP3 file, changed its tag information to the HTML attack code, then played the file on the device to exploit the flaw. How long before malicious data from illegally downloaded MP3 files ends up blanking the root file system on one of these?

GPS software specialist Satsports has unveiled an Android-powered portable GPS device called the All Sports GPS in a form factor which looks a lot like a mobile phone.
In what is perhaps such an obvious move it's a wonder it wasn't done sooner, SatSport's All Sports GPS amounts to a budget Android smartphone without the cellular radio.
The device comes with a third party Android market called Nexva which enabling the owner to install a range of GPS navigation software and have them updated wirelessly without the usual necessity of connecting to a dock and running host software on a PC.
As the name implies, Satsports specialises in GPS for sporting applications and one of the apps for the All Sports GPS device is Satski which the firm says will "revolutionise skiing holidays."
If there's a weakness it's that full featured car navigation software for Android is somewhat thin on the ground. TomTom have yet to produce an Android app while apps like CoPilot have decidedly mixed reviews.
What's more the lack of a cell radio and therefore the Android market means that there's no Google Maps.
The All Sports GPS is listed as 'coming soon' with no pricing yet announced.
Of course you could just pick up a cheap and perfectly serviceable Android smartphone for less than sixty quid. At least then you'd have Google Maps complete with Google's turn-by-turn car navigation.

Google has pulled 27 applications from the Android Marketplace following the discovery that the apps contained premium SMS toll fraud malware.
Mobile security outfit Lookout described a new SMS toll fraud scam dubbed RuFraud, first appearing as a range of horoscope apps which aimed to hide mention of premium rate charges deeply inside a ToS statement with no option to exit.
Later a number of other applications appeared including wallpaper apps and fake popular apps such as Angry Birds. 13 in total were uploaded overnight, each masquerading as free versions of popular games and garnering 14,000 downloads, Lookout said.
Following the reports Google quickly moved to pull the apps from the Market. If anything the latest episode illustrates how important it is to take note of the permissions requested when installing a new app. A horoscope app requesting SMS access should be enough to raise suspicion.

With the recent launch of "My Xbox Live" on Apple's iOS platform, not to mention Halo Waypoint, Microsoft seems to have officially embraced the ubiquity of its competition's devices. And with today's release of Kinectimals for iOS (a port of the already released Windows Phone 7 version), that relationship is further solidified, but in a softer, furrier way.
Kinectimals for iOS puts you back on the adorably named island of "Lemuria," on which you raise virtual feline cubs. According to the game's iTunes description, it works on both iPad and iPhone/iPod Touch devices, and costs $2.99. Purchasing the game will also net you "five brand new cubs" for the Xbox 360 game (presumably of the feline variety), if you're in the market for some brand new animal cubs.
And for those asking, no, we're not exactly clear on how you get the "Cub Handler" certificate pictured above. We have some guesses, but they're all waylurid.

Microsoft's love affair with iOS isn't over yet. Hot on the heels of an iPad-supporting OneNote update and the App Store debut of Kinectimals, comes an official SkyDrive app for the iPhone. Of course, the Redmond crew isn't leaving its own handsets out in the cold. Windows Phone 7 is also getting an app to compliment its already rather deep integration with cloud storage service. Both apps sport, more or less, the same feature set: the ability to browse all of your files, share them with others, delete them and create new folders. When sharing links you can even choose whether or not a person can edit a document or simply view it. At least for now it appears that Android users who also happen to be SkyDrive fans will have to make do with the mobile web site. To see both the iPhone and WP7 versions of the app in action head on after the break.

Sources claim production to begin soon after components delivered to contractors
The next generation iPad 3 will be launched in three to four months, according to reports.
“Sources in the supply chain” have reportedly told DigiTimes that the latest Apple tablet can be expected early next year, with parts and components being delivered to OEM contractors to begin production.
The sources added that manufacturing of the iPad 2 will remain high for the fourth quarter of 2011 at 14-15 million units, but will greatly decrease to four to five million units in the first quarter of 2012.
The website also reports that Foxconn Electronics will start production of the iPad 3 in January, citing a market analyst speaking to the Chinese-based Commercial Times.
If the rumours are true 2012 looks set to be another big year for Apple, with production expected to start soon on the Apple iTV for a late 2012 launch.

Social gaming specialist teams up with Best Buy and others to reward app makers with distribution and exposure.
The "Get Discovered!" contest gives developers access to Best Buy's App Discovery Center, seed funding from Trinity Ventures and an online ads package from VentureBeat.
It's open to firms that make their games compatible with Hooked Media's discovery platform, which will track metrics including user rating, play-time and installations based on recommendations. The metrics will be used to determine the finalists.
The contest will feature two tracks – one for companies that have secured Series A financing and one for companies still seeking Series A financing.
Every game entered into the contest will use Hooked Media Groups' SDK and be integrated into the recently launched Hooked App, which is available for free in the Android Marketplace.
"The Android Marketplace has a wide array of undiscovered content and we are proud to team with Best Buy, Trinity Venture and VentureBeat to provide developers with a new way of reaching a wider audience," said Prita Uppal, CEO of Hooked Media Group.

We've seen a fair share of Kindle Jailbreaks over the past few years, but Yifan Lu's (evidently the first) for the Kindle Touch is certainly novel in its approach. As The Digital Reader points out, a sizeable chunk of the Touch's software is essentially a string of pseudo HTML5 and JavaScript webpages -- differentiating it from Kindles prior -- which led Lu to notice an exploit rooted in its browser. It's there where he found a function titlednativeBridge.dbgCmd(), which'll run any ol' shell command as root. Armed with that knowledge, Lu crafted the jailbreak by cramming his payload of HTML and JavaScript into the ID3 tags of an easily downloadable MP3 file. There isn't much to be gained from "playing" that MP3 just yet, but Lu's looking forward to developers using the tools needed to write programs for the device. Full details about the jailbreak can be found at source link below, but before you head off, you can catch the video proof after the break.

Ready to kick off Monday with some iOS flashing? Excellent, because Apple's just released the second beta of iOS 5.1, lovingly christened 9B5127c. No Cupertino devices at Engadget HQ have taken the plunge, but as noted by MacRumors, the beta enables individual picture deletion from Photo Stream -- which differs from the existing delete all or nothing implementation. Too early to tell if it'll finally squash any lingering battery bugs once and for all, but you can hit Apple's developer website to get your download on -- just be ready for the next one in two weeks, cool?

Students and teachers in grade school through higher education are using the iPad to augment their lessons or to replace textbooks. Jennifer Kohn's third grade class at Millstone Elementary School in Millstone, New Jersey, mastered the iPad with minimal training. For the most part, the students didn't need to be taught how to use their apps, Kohn says. College students are also turning to the iPad to do what they do instinctively well: saving themselves money. Marianne Petit, a New York University staff member, recently began taking credits in pursuit of another certification, and uses her iPad in place of textbooks. 'The price of the iPad pays for itself after a single semester,' Petit said. 'iPad books cost so much less it's a legal alternative for students who are using BitTorent [to pirate books].' Like the PC before it, Kohn noted that the iPad isn't a panacea for educators: It has its appropriate time and place. 'I don't use them with every lesson or even day. It's not always appropriate to lesson or objective of what I'm trying to teach,' Kohn noted

When HP announced it would release webOS as open source, it added a competitor to a narrow niche: there's already Tizen, the descendant of MeeGo, which is, like webOS, an open source Linux-based operating system for smartphones. Can they co-exist, or will one come out on top? One built-in advantage for webOS is that already has hardware, in the form of all those $99 TouchPad's being snapped up on eBay

Apple says customers will not be affected and will appeal decision
Motorola Mobility has won an injunction against Apple in Germany over the import of new iPhones and 3G-capable iPads using an unlicensed wireless intellectual property.
The case concerns copyright infringement by Apple over a Motorola patent “method for performing a countdown function during a mobile-originated transfer for a packet radio system”.
It is not known whether Motorola will enforce the ban, with the possibility of the decision being overturned at a later date on appeal.
The ruling was made on Friday after the US company failed to attend the case.
Motorola said after the case: “We will continue to take all necessary steps to protect our intellectual property, as the company's patent portfolio and licensing agreements with companies both in the U.S. and around the world are critical to our business.

Apple has transferred a set of mobile phone related patents to a 'patent troll' via a shell company in order to pursue claims against most smartphone vendors according to a new TechCrunch report.
In what is most likely an attempt to batter rivals while attempting to escape the tarnished image of yet more courtroom competition in the mobile industry, TechCrunch said that Apple has transferred a dozen patents to a firm known as Cliff Island LLC.
Cliff Island then transferred at least two to Digitude, in a move which TechCrunch speculated could be "using Digitude as a hired gun of sorts in its patent offensive, giving the company valuable patents to wield against its opponents while avoiding the waves of press that are spurred by each new lawsuit."
Digitude Innovations, or perhaps more accurately "Acquisitions", filed suit with the ITC alleging the usual patent infringement against a raft of mobile firms including HTC, LG, Motorola, RIM, Samsung, Sony, Amazon and Nokia.
The ITC has the power to block imports in the US so favorable outcomes are usually a meal ticket for large settlements at the very least.

Analysts who slagged off the 4S are now adding millions on to their projections.
Investment bank UBS upped its estimate from 28 million to take account of buoyant sales of the device, which was launched in October. Specifically, it was responding to AT&T's announcement that it expects its best smartphone quarter ever.
UBS also raised its revenue projection to $38.5 billion, from $37.2 billion.
There is a consensus growing around the sales estimates, with Sterne Agee analyst Shaw Wu also looking at 28 million based on checks with Apple's global supply chain.
He sees iPhone remaining strong across the board, including the older iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS. J.P. Morgan also recently revised its forecasts to predict Apple as shipping 28 million iPhones this quarter.

Apple's iPad 2 is outselling all its competition at present, as Q3 sales reached 11 million units to dwarf the likes of the BlackBerry PlayBook.
Supply chain sources say the next generation iPad isn't far off as new parts and components have started to be shipped to manufacturers, according to Digitimes.
The sources claim the new shipments have resulted in a reduction of iPad 2 parts being delivered, which means the iPad 3 could arrive within three to four months.
However, they go on to say that iPad 2 production will stay at 14-15 million units for Q4 but will fall down to 4-5 million units in Q1 of 2012 to make way for the new devices.
This, will see production for the third iPad reach up to 9.8 million units in Q1 2012, according to the sources.

"Dinner's ready" among the most common messages to avoid spoken communication.
Retailer Asda's Pulse of the Nation survey found 20 per cent of parents regularly use mobile phones, tablets, laptops and PCs to reach their children within the home.
The report says most of the messages sent are requests, such as "clean your room", "do your homework" and presumably "remove your skateboard from the top of the stairs". However, the most popular message parents send to their offspring is "dinner's ready" with 13 per cent.
Nathan Mills, Asda’s technology expert, said: "The fact is that technology puts us in touch with more people more often than ever before – and this is as true at home as it is when we’re out and about.
"Communicating with teens, for example, has never been the easiest thing for parents, and now low-cost gadgets are giving us a hotline to their rooms."
Results also show that the most popular form of in-house communication was texting with 55 per cent. This, was followed by Facebook with 20 per cent of parents choosing the social network and 16 per cent making a phone call.

The online retailer says this year's Cyber Monday provided its biggest one day sales ever. It received over three million orders, up from 2.3 million in 2010.
Amazon says the most popular device among the sales was it's ÂŁ89 Kindle e-book, although the firm hasn't revealed exact sales figures.
Earlier in the year, Amazon claimed it was selling 105 e-books for every 100 printed books.
Christopher North, MD, Amazon UK, said: "History tells us that the busiest online shopping day is the first Monday in December and this year has followed that trend.
"This year, Cyber Monday saw the most items ever ordered in a single day with Kindle being the stand-out product that looks set to appear under the most Christmas trees this festive season."
