According to a report published yesterday, Android is, unsurprisingly, deemed as the worst among all mobile OSes when it comes to security because of its susceptibility to malware.
Google Music left beta stage four days ago and was made available “to all”, at least in the United States. Today we came across a rather simple method involving Tor (the anonymity network) which enables Google Music outside the USA. Check it out after the break.
The latest and, according to some, most important update to Google’s Android OS - 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich - was open-sourced just a few days ago and talented folks from the hacking and developers community have already managed to get Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) working on some of the most popular handsets. In this post, we’ll guide our readers on how they can flash ICS on a Samsung Galaxy S and Galaxy S II. Check it out after the break!
Go figure, it seems that Honeycomb is able to run on a PC. An open source project by the name of Android-x86 has been attempting to boot the latest Honeycomb build to netbooks and laptops with some success.
Although the Samsung Galaxy Nexus - the first device to feature Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) has yet to launch Stateside, it can be found on the UK market, and the comparisons between it and others on the market has inevitably begun.

Torrenting is one of the primary ways internet users snatch their digital content. Whilst most of the media available on the top public sites falls on the wrong side of the law in terms of copyright infringement, the actual act of downloading and seeding torrents is perfectly legal and accounts for a high portion of bandwidth use.
Well well well, it seems Amazon was true to their word after all, and the newly shipping Kindle Fire is indeed wide open for those that want to get at its inner workings, allowing customization of the underlying Android operating system.
Some have argued that Google has made a bit of a mess of its Ice Cream Sandwich release. After all, unlike closest rival Apple, which ported its latest mobile OS throughout the entire (hardware competent) iDevice range, many, many decent devices across the expansive range of Android smartphones (Nexus One, LG Optimus X, HTC Desire HD, to name a few) will be limited to the crumbs of Gingerbread - much to the annoyance of many Droidsters.
A recent report from reputable number-counting outfit Flurry has highlighted to us what we essentially already know - smartphones and tablets now make up the majority of the U.S. handheld gaming market in a near 60/40 split; which by our reckoning, will only continue to divide as specs are increased and bulkier dedicated portable consoles become less and less relevant.
