Hoping to understand what a new generation of mobile malware could resemble, security researchers will demonstrate a malicious 'rootkit' program they've written for Google's Android phone next month at the Defcon hacking conference in Las Vegas. Once it's installed on the Android phone, the rootkit can be activated via a phone call or SMS message, giving attackers a stealthy and hard-to-detect tool for siphoning data from the phone or misdirecting the user. 'You call the phone, the phone doesn't ring, and when the phone realizes that it's being called by an attacker's phone number, it sends him back a shell [program],' said Christian Papathanasiou, a security consultant with Chicago's Trustwave, the company that did the research.

John Strand, the CEO of market analysts Strand Consult, has issued a lengthy statement criticising Apple and the media environment surrounding the iPhone.
Strand, whose company compared Apple users to Stockholm Syndrome sufferers, accused wide segments of the media of behaving like “a ventriloquists dummy”, advised an iPhone app developer that they’d have a better business model trying to sell coffee to Turkey and reported that his questions about the iPhone led to him accusations of being anti-American.
“I will never forget when the renown IT journalist Walter Mossberg from the Wall Street Journal accused me of being anti-American during the Mobile World Congress a couple of years ago, because I was critical about the importance of the iPhone to operators,” recounted Strand.
“Everyone who reads this column knows that the man is an Apple fanatic, but to claim that someone is anti-American, because they view a mobile telephone’s sales figures from a global perspective really shows how Apple fanatics react.”

We can't say we expected Jobs to do a ton of talking about that little "lost" iPhone prototype during his interview at D8, but he was of course asked about it, and he did do some talking about it. While he started out with the expected "there's an ongoing investigation" statement, Jobs soon got on a bit of a roll, saying that "this is a story that's amazing" -- that "it's got theft, it's got buying stolen property, it's got extortion, I'm sure there's some sex in there... the whole thing is very colorful." No discussion of the device itself, of course, but we're sure we'll be hearing more about it soon enough.
Update: Well, it looks like Jobs couldn't quite let the issue rest there. Later on in the interview, Jobs said that he had gotten advice to just let it slide, that "you shouldn't go after a journalist just because they bought stolen property and tried to extort you" -- but he said he couldn't "change our core values and let it slide," that he'd "rather quit."

AT&T announced today that the iPhone will gain tethering, finally, at an extra $20 a month, but only for people on a new 2GB a month plan. They also quietly announced at the same time the real news — that the $30 Unlimited Data plan on the iPad 3G will be axed in lieu of the same data plan. Yes, this would be the same 'revolutionary data plan' that Steve Jobs was so proud of during the iPad unveiling — it lasted just a month after the 3G model was delayed to May 7. People feeling vibes of previous Apple iDevice releases are not alone. Existing accounts will be allowed to grandfather in, although Apple has removed the ability to purchase the iPad from the online store at this time, and AT&T has a history of changing its plans without warning. Finally, there is no word on what happens if you ever let your Unlimited plan lapse for a month at this time.

The iPad only went on sale outside the US on 28 May, but according to AdMob, it already has a big proportion of overseas users.
The mobile advertising firm says that according to its network stats, 38% of iPads accessing its network of ads in May were outside the US.
The biggest markets were Japan (5%), the UK (4%), China (4%) and Canada (3%), with three of those four getting a sharp boost in the number of iPad users over the weekend, once the device went on sale there.
China is the exception, yet according to AdMob's Mike Fyall, "we have seen consistently strong iPad usage in China since the device first launched".
AdMob tracked around 850,000 unique iPads during May.
The company has just launched its iPad SDK, allowing iPad developers to incorporate its ad units in their applications.

MTV has launched an iPhone app based on its MTV News, offering a mixture of articles, photos and videos.
The free app covers pop culture, music, TV, celebrities and gaming, pulling in stories from the MTV News site, as well as MTV's stable of blogs.
The app will also be heavily tied in to big MTV events like this week's MTV Movie Awards, including a live video stream from the event and its after-parties.
The app has personalisation features to let people choose which news categories they're interested in, and also create photo slideshows to share with friends.
"Extending the reach of the popular MTV News franchise into the app world provides our audience with an additional platform in which to consume our curated pop culture and music news content," says MTV.com's SVP and general manager Kristin Frank.

Remember iFart? The novelty flatulence app was one of the biggest sellers on iPhone's App Store in late 2008, selling more than 100,000 downloads in its first two weeks.
However, developer InfoMedia claims that Apple has rejected a new version - iFart HD - designed for the iPad.
Why? CEO Joel Comm tells TechCrunch that the app was rejected due to having 'minimal functionality', despite another fart app - Farting Zombies - having been approved.
That means no Brown Mosquito sound effects steaming out of an iPad near you anytime soon, until InfoMedia figures out how to add extra features to gain approval.

iPhone 4 parts just keep on dribbling out of China and turning up around the world -- this time it's the next-gen phone's outer case on a video from iPhone Portgual. The site actually has two cases, which it says were purchased by a reader in China, and while they look genuine enough, we obviously can't tell for certain whether they're real. In any event, at this rate we'll have enough leaked parts to assemble the entire damn thing by the time Steve takes the stage at WWDC to announce it in a few days -- or hey, maybe he'll just show it off at D8 tonight. Either way, we'll be there.

Steve Guggenheimer, Microsoft's OEM vice pres, has pulled no punches in responding to a query about the threat posed by Android OS in the burgeoning tablet sector. Describing the early enthusiasm for Android from big hitters like Acer and Dell as a stage of experimentation, the Redmond man tells us he expects "Microsoft's support for Windows 7 will be seen as more valuable over time." In aid of this assertion, he cites the netbook market's development, which started off almost exclusively with Linux installations, yet "three years later it is 95% on Windows." That's quite an incontrovertible track record, but we can't help feeling the Guggenmeister is somewhat underestimating his competition here. He argues the continuous support of Windows 7 will keep OEMs in line, but we've seen Android iterating at a breakneck pace almost since its inception, and it'll be interesting to see if manufacturers opt for new features with Google's wares or cozy security with Microsoft. Either way, as the desktop OS leader, Microsoft is entitled to use such strong words -- we just hope Steve won't have to eat them.

Jetstar will start renting out of pre-loaded iPads as a form of inflight entertainment instead of the more typical seat back video system. No word in the article on how or if they will handle Wi-Fi connections, but interestingly it does mention that they will be usable during takeoff and landings — something that will be sure to spark lots of discussion regarding planes and modern electronics

For a while now Apple has said it doesn't want "widget-like" apps in the store; but where is the boundary of that fuzzy statement? The developers of My Frame, of which three versions had already been approved for the iPhone/iPad, found out that they had already crossed it when Apple informed them their app would be pulled. My Frame had options to overlay data on whatever photo was displaying: a Twitter stream, weather, etc. When one of the developers wrote to Steve Jobs on a whim to ask what unwritten rule their app had violated, Jobs wrote back: "We are not allowing apps that create their own desktops. Sorry."
"I see now why people are so angry at the 'murky' nature of the App Store, and I'm starting to agree with them. My Frame was approved by Apple 3 times (once for each version we released), and... now, at version 1.2 they decide it's to be removed? How can a company be prepared to invest into a platform that can change at any time, cutting you off and kicking you out, with no course of action but to whine on some no-name blog[?] There is no alternative platform, despite what others may say about Android, it's immature and their app store(s) are a wild west nightmare. It really is Apple's way or the highway..."
A few blogs have picked up the story.

Asus, which claims to have invented the netbook market with the Eee PC, is going head-to-head with Apple in the tablet market with the launch of the Eee Pad.
A 12-inch version of the device runs a full version of Windows 7, is powered by an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, and full multitasking – an area in which Apple's offering came up short.
A smaller 10-inch version with reduced specs is also available, running on Windows Embedded Compact 7.
Asus will be hoping to leverage its experience in the netbook market to drive into the tablet area with its new devices, which considering the huge success of the Eee PC could be the most serious threat to the iPad yet.

The Evening Standard's general manager of digital Tim Smith took the stage at London's M-Publishing conference today, to talk about the importance of apps for newspaper publishers.
However, he kicked off by outlining some of the challenges facing traditional media. "The game has completely changed because of online migration, particularly in classifieds," he said.
"Nearly every day publications are being sold or relaunched to try to face up to this challenge... It seems that almost one a week is going into bankruptcy or cutting way back."
The Evening Standard was recently sold by Associated Newspapers to Russian billionnaire Alexander Lebedev, who made the newspaper free and entirely ad-supported.
"The essence of the strategy is to retain the character of a paid-for newspaper, but it's free," explained Smith.
"But we're also getting really interested in devices, and starting to investigate which of those devices offer promise. The new battle is happening in the pocket of the reader."
He pointed out that all the big newspaper groups are investing in downloadable smartphone apps for three reasons: first to find new readers, second to generate more direct revenues, and third to find new advertising revenues.
Smith referred to comScore stats from the UK, indicating that 23% of all mobile users have a smartphone, and 3.5% have an iPhone.
80% of iPhone users and 48% of smartphoen users access news via their device. But 56% of iPhone users and 22% of smartphone users have downloaded an app to access news.
"More smartphone owners had used their phone to read news than had to access email, listen to music or access a social networking site," said Smith. "It's definitely a vote of confidence."
Smith also said that "smartphone users are prepared to pay" for content and applications - a key point for newspaper groups mulling their investment in apps.
He talked about some apps from other publishers. The Guardian's paid iPhone app was downloaded 70,000 times in its first month, generating gross revenues of £167,000 before Apple took its 30% cut.
Smith also highlighted the free Sky News iPhone app, which focuses on ads and sponsorship for its revenues, while also promoting Sky's subscription marketing campaigns for its satellite TV business.
And the Evening Standard? The paper just launched a series of smartphone apps in partnership with Handmark: iPhone, but also Android, BlackBerry, Windows Mobile and Symbian.
"It's free to the user, mirroring the print strategy," he said. "It would be very difficult for us to charge for an application."
Why work with Handmark rather than develop in-house? "Relationships with OEMs and with carriers too," said Smith.
The commercial model is around revenues from sponsorship and advertising, and Smith said that while the app is relatively simple now, it will be developed further over time.
British Airways is sponsoring the app for two months, having got a plug in the press and online ads promoting the app launches, as well as branding within the app.
Smith didn't have any download figures for the Standard apps yet, as they only launched a week ago.

A pirated version of an anti-terrorism game made for Windows mobile phones is at the center of a new scam wringing cash out of unwitting victims in the UK. Hidden code within the game silently dials phone numbers in the Antarctic, which can cost upwards of £4.25 ($6.19 US) per minute.
Although online con men and spam artists continue to pester our e-lives with promises of money, fame or other inappropriate guarantees, computer scams have an extremely low success rate. Researchers suggest that for every 350 million messages, spammers receive 28 responses, according to the BBC.
Since mobile phones lack the same protection found on computers they have become prime targets for grifters, seeing a threat growth of more than 200% in three years, suggests research by Kasperksy Labs. The penguin-calling version of the game was discovered in April but continues to claim victims as it has been added to multiple websites offering Windows mobile games.

PosiMotion certainly announced this one well enough in advance (all the way back in December), but it looks like its Helix gaming grip for the iPhone and iPod touch is now finally available, and at Best Buy no less. In case your memory needs to be jogged a bit, this $20 contraption promises to be ideal for "virtually any game," and let you use your iPhone or iPod touch in either portrait or landscape mode -- it'll also keep your headphones from getting tangled up for good measure. Still not convinced? Then perhaps the video after the break will change your mind -- chains not included.

Chinese website Zol -- which is owned by CBS Interactive -- is reporting that Apple may be moving toward a model of paying Foxconn employees direct subsidies, in the form of small percentages of of the profits from whatever product line they work on. It's also interesting to note that the report claims that Apple has looked into the situation, and found that the general unhappiness of the workers and the recent spate of suicides could be attributed to low wages. The report says that Apple -- which apparently pays Foxconn 2.3 percent of the final retail price for a given product -- will pay an additional amount directly to the workers, which would give a significant boost to the roughly $132 they're currently pulling in per month. The actual payout numbers we're hearing -- around 1 to 2 percent of a retail price of the products manufactured -- don't exactly make sense so we're hoping to get clarification as to the breakdown if the rumor turns out to be true. The report also states that the iPad production line will be the first to benefit from the scheme. We have asked Apple for comment and will update if and when we hear back.

The two biggest mobile games publishers in the world, EA Mobile and Gameloft, have both a wealth of new iPad games to co-incide with Apple's tablet's international launch.
However, a sixth has launched on Friday: Boggle, based on the word boardgame of the same name.
Meanwhile, Gameloft is pulling out all the stops, with 15 iPad games already available, and seven new ones launching this week.
The seven new titles are Blokus, GT Racing: Motor Academy, Real Football 2010, Chess Classics, Brain Challenge, Gangstar: West Coast Hustle and Real Tennis.
Both publishers have carried across their leading positions in mobile to iPhone in the last two years, and are clearly intent on doing the same on iPad.
Both have invested heavily in iPhone since the launch of the App Store, and been rewarded with regular featured spots on the store, and slots in Apple keynotes.

The association of German magazine publishers has sent a letter to Steve Jobs (Google translation; German original here) demanding talks about censorship by Apple. The move draws attention to growing concerns about freedom of the press when a single unelected commercial entity has worldwide control over what gets published for iPhone and, especially, iPad."
While the magazine publishers may rightly be concerned about private control of a platform that many of them are counting on for their long-term salvation, the German state is at the very least ambivalent about the subject of censorship. This is the country that has banned Wikileaks, sought a ban on violent games, and voted to censor child porn (only to have the president kill the ban as unconstituitonal).
