Android Handsets – Mobile Hackers’ Top Target

October 20, 2011 admin No comments

Android based mobile phones are the top target of mobile hackers, virus and malware. These unwanted programs love android phones to make them victim to spread malware. The amazing research was revealed by an antivirus and computer security software company. The increasing preference of mobile users for android handsets is the prime reason for this malware attack trend.

Google Android is the most targeted handset by malware programs and hackers. Online attacks are increasing from groups such as LulzSec (Lulz Security) and Anonymous. LulzSec has spread online havoc by hacking several corporations and government agencies websites over last months. According to McAfee report, this group is spreading these malware just for fun and no monetary goal is targeted by this group.

Currently, Android mobile phones are outselling in the global mobile market with over 60% of the international cell phone market share. As the case with desktops, or any hot selling items, these malware programs will target the major player having the most potential advantage. Android mobiles as prime malware target does not mean that rest are safe or not at risk.

Malware and virus programs targeting Android based handsets have been traced and found their roots from China and are mainly being used to sneak the Android handset users’ identity. If a hacker succeeded in taking control of your Android Mobile then he will have access to all your confidential data saved in your Smart phone such as personal information, carrier and billing code data and G.P.S. logs. All your valuable information can be sneaked and pass away to unwanted hands, once these malware programs hack your mobile phone.

The main reason behind these increasing attacks on Android based handsets, especially Google Android, is a vetting process is not engaged by Google to observe and check new mobile apps distribution. Everybody can easily share an app on the Google Marketplace and so giving an open opportunity to hackers to share their malware programs. Hackers easily hide Trojans or virus inside free mobile software and games to spread these unwanted programs. In this regard Apple Inc. is one step ahead of Google as they observe and approves every single application before permitting the Applet into the App Store.

There are several escaping ways to prevent your Android Handset from these malware and hackers. Android Mobiles will not permit installation of any application downloaded external other than Android Market. But this by default function can be changed by enabling just one checkbox. Don’t use any unofficial sources to download applets, use only approved sites, check permissions before installing and stick to your in-built OS security features. Alone these measures will keep you 99% risk free.

Next Big Launch in Smartphone Market – Samsung Galaxy Note!

October 04, 2011 admin No comments

The recently announced Samsung Galaxy Note is all about big. The biggest screen on any Smartphone so far, i.e., a massive 5.3 inches Super AMOLED screen, biggest resolution of 1280×800 pixels, 1.4Ghz core processor, a 2,500 mAh battery, 8mp camera for your still shots and 1080p video recording. Call it a mini tablet or a super Smartphone, it is designed in such a way that it would stand out among the crowd for sure.

Samsung has taken a big step ahead by introducing 1280×800 resolutions on a Smartphone screen ever. Last time we got such a pleasant surprise when Apple introduced the retina display on iPhone4 with 960×640 pixels. Though Samsung Galaxy Note has surpassed the resolution of iPhone4, we should not expect to see a screen-clarity just like the retina display. Here, the difference is the pixel density. Whereas the iPhone4 has 960×640 pixels on a 3.5 inch display, Galaxy Note has got 1280×800 pixels on a substantial 5.3 inch screen.

Now compare iPhone’s 326ppi (pixels per inch) with Galaxy Note’s 285 ppi. But here we cannot underestimate the Note. In fact, 285ppi pixel density is quite impressive on its own. The latest widescreen Smartphone lying on your pocket right now might have a pixel density of just 250 to 260 ppi and you do not have a complaint with its resolution. Do you?

An addition to the aforesaid impressive specification of Galaxy Note is the S Pen, the capacitive stylus that slides inside the body. It is a smart idea by Samsung to include a stylus in the Galaxy Note that gives the hint of a PDA than a Smartphone. You could hardly make any use of the handwritten notes apps that you have installed on your touch screen phone with a 3.5 or 4 inch screen with your index finger. But with a capacitive stylus and a 5.3 inch screen, it is much like taking notes on a literal note pad on the new Galaxy Note. The only difference is that you can do a lot more with it.

Now we have to wait and watch how Galaxy Note performs in the market. There is no information about its launching date in India till now. Samsung must have relied on a proper market research before launching a hybrid of Smartphone and tablet. Looking at Samsung’s mobile market policies so far, the 178g hybrid may cost you dearly. We do not see any reason for Samsung to price it anything less than Rs. 35,000 in Indian market. We may have to wait for another one month to know the final pricing of this product.
