Samsung has posted their quarterly turnover for the last three months, and it makes extremely good reading for executives and shareholders of the Korean based electronics company.

It's probably the news which most Android users don’t want to hear, but new statistics revealed today paint an extremely concerning picture about the level of malware that is present in Android apps. A report carried out by well-known security firm TrustGo is indicating that malware on the Android platform has grown by an astonishing 580% in the last twelve months.
