Sony Ericsson’s official page for the Xperia X10 has listed February 2010 as the expected launch date for its new Android-powered handset.

Xperia X10 is Sony's first entry in the Android space which introduces a new user interface platform called UX (codenamed Rachel) and new apps dubbed Mediascape and Timescape.

iPhone that Runs Android. Sort of.

Ali·November 15, 2009

For many, Android on a 3.5 inch capacitive multi-touch screen in an iPhone –like package will be a dream phone to have. This is what exactly a Chinese manufacturer has tried to do with APhone A6. APhone A6 is an Android powered iPhone clone boasting of a dual core processor, 2.0 megapixel camera and with an iPhone –like theme running on top of Google Android OS. It is believed to support multi-touch functionality which is kind of strange, given that it runs on Android 1.5 which doesn’t offer support for multi-touch screens.

National Aeronautics and Space Administration, NASA in Jun 09, launched a lunar satellite into orbit, which was to fire a rocket booster at 5,600 MPH velocity into a Moon crater near the Southern Pole of the moon, to cause a six-mile-high explosion with the hope to find water on the Moon.

iPhone/Privacy.A Virus Hits Jailbroken iPhone

M Asad·November 12, 2009

November has proved tough for jailbroken iPhone users as they twice came under attack by hackers. First one which we did warned you about was when a Dutch hacker tried to access jailbroken iPhones through SSH in his native country Netherlands. He was successful in sending totally off guarded users a message that read, "Your iPhone's been hacked because it's really insecure! Please visit doiop.com/iHacked and secure your iPhone right now! Right now, I can access all your files.". The second development was an attempt by an Australian who successfully injected a worm called “ikee” into jailbroken iPhones whose users forgot to change their root password for SSH. Victims of ikee virus were astonished to find their home screen background automatically changed to that of Rick Astley. ikee virus spread like a chain reaction from iPhones on one cellular network, to iPhones on other.
