It's well documented that when it comes to mobile malware, Android is by far the biggest target, and as such, many of the big-name security firms have come through with apps and measures to help protect the many millions using Google's flagship OS. Malwarebytes is the latest to join the fray, having just introduced a rather versatile app that not only looks out for potentially malicious intrusion, but also helps take care of your privacy.
Switching between running apps on a smartphone or tablet is something that users just expect to be possible. Computers have no problems running multiple programs within different windows, so why can't mobile devices do it efficiently, right? Well, there is a little more complexity to handling this type of expensive multitasking on a small portable device, but we do live in an age where our mobile phones and tablets can handle this pretty adequately. With that said, sometimes adequate just isn't good enough which is why Switchr for Android is getting so much praise.
The official combination of hardware and software feature sets that ship with most devices is usually enough, but in some cases it just makes sense for developers to push the boundaries a little and extend the published capabilities of a device.
With Twitter having recently made like Facebook and gotten its IPO filing - and inadvertently revealed the IPO date as being November 15th - the company will really need to pull its finger out and begin impressing shareholders, particularly in mobile space. As with Facebook up until recently, the official Twitter apps have been rather lackluster, outshone by various third-party offerings, but with Mark Zuckerberg's rivaling social company now offering top-notch apps across the board, we'll be hoping for more of the same from the guys behind The Twitters. Today could be the start of that push, with a new version of the app optimized for Android tablets ready for use.

When it comes to gaming on mobile devices, there are now simply hundreds of thousands of options, and whether you like casual titles like Tiny Wings, or something more high-end such as Infinity Blade, both the App Store and Google's Play Store are like treasure troves packed to the gills with new and exciting content. Transport Tycoon is a fairly eagerly awaited title for the main two ecosystems, and if the thought of building up your own transportation empire really takes your fancy, then you'll be stoked to learn that it is now available to download for both iOS and Android. Details, as well as those download links, can be found right after the leap!
Smartphones are more than just communication devices, and have been so for quite a while now. They have replaced personal information managers, multimedia players (famously known as MP3/MP4 players), portable gaming devices, and even photo albums. In fact, the massive internal storage spaces on Android based devices, alongside the ability to supplement it with microSD expansion cards, make perfect combination for keeping your precious memories - both photo and video - with you anywhere. That’s a convenience that we all enjoy, and have become completely accustomed to.
