Botnet Android Apps invading devices


Despite a point of contention over the true nature of these applications, a string of 13 apps have been identified as potential threats on the Android Market. One of the largest security software makers in the business, Symantec say they have identified these applications and relate them to a botnet-like virus called Android.Tonclank.


The applications in question run a type of malware called Android.Counterclank. Botnets spread from a host command computer and take control of other device via means of spam messages or in this case, malicious applications.


Beware of these Apps

Un-install These Apps Immediately, If you already have them!


Symantec already say millions of users could be affected and they consider the damage level to be "medium" with regards to data and identification theft. So far a list of 13 applications have been identified on the Android Market as malicious, with the majority of them being mobile games of some form.

U

 

UberMusic is a music player inspired by the Metro UI and Zune Player for Windows Phone 7, and it is the most gorgeous music player you will find in the Android Market. It mimics the Zune player even in the animations. This skinnable music player, made by the same developer of LauncherPro, is gaining fast popularity in the Android Market in less than a week out of beta its already sold almost 10,000 copies of. Lets see why this app is growing so fast.

 

Features

Skins

The first thing that got my attention was the ability to install skins. One of the key features to an Android phone is the possibility to give your own look to your phone, and as I am a musician and totally addicted to music, another great thing to have in my phone is a good music player.

Default skin and Metro skin

Default skin and Metro skin

You can give the app the look you want to, and although its only recently been released, there are already some great skins available. The app itself has an already styled skin thats really cool not as cool as the Metro Skin, but still keeping the feeling of the Windows Phone 7 music player.

User Interface

The UI of UberMusic is like a clone of the WP7 music player. It even mimics the animations and the super smooth scrolling it has. I believe the Metro UI of Windows Phone 7 is one of the most beautiful UIs ever designed, and UberMusic takes this same attitude to heart.

If you swipe as the player starts, it will softly change to the next tab, out of (by default):

  • Artists
  • Albums
  • Songs
  • Playlists
  • Genres
  • Folders
Selecting a letter on the Artists tabs shows a interface to let you sort by letter, just as in Zune on Windows Phone 7 again, it mimics even the animation of this interface.

 

Sort by letter

Sort by letter

 

When you are on an artist’s tab, it will download a picture of the artist in question and used it as the background. Another great feature is that it downloads the biography of the artist and shows it in another tab inside the artist tab.

 

Artist Bio's tab

Artist Bio's tab

Another great UI feature is the "Now Playing" status in the notification bar, which displays a minimalistic status including the cover art of the album. Likewise, when playing a song, it shows the cover art for the album you are listening to as the background, and if you swipe you’ll be taken to the next song on the playlist.

 

Now playing screen and the notification bar

Scrobbling and Shuffling

As with most music players, UberMusic has the option of scrobbling your listened songs to Last.fm, either through the Last.fm app or through ScrobbleDroid/SLS.

Also, UberMusic uses a true shuffling system that never repeats the songs you already listened till the playlist has played all songs. To activate the shuffle, you just tap the cover art of the playing song and then select the shuffle symbol; you can also select the repeat mode through the same interface.

 

Widgets and Wallpaper

This wonderful music player comes with 6 widgets in different sizes, and these, too, are skinnable. The skin may be just for the widget or it may come together with the player skin you have downloaded itself. Even without any skin, it is already beautiful, with a semi-transparent background and the controller buttons, alongside cover art for the song.

 

4x4 Widget

But what really impressed me is the UberMusic live wallpaper. I thought it was just another slide show or something, but its actually a really beautiful display of cover art, all in the same screen, with a gorgeous animation that flips the covers, just like Windows Phone 7 does with its Tiles.

Yahoo! Meme, Yahoo! Mim, Yahoo! AppSpot, Yahoo! Deals, Yahoo! Shopping, and Yahoo! Sketch-a-Search have all been removed from Apple App Store. And if you are like most people, you never even looked at these apps in the first place. That is exactly the point. It is part of Yahoo strategy to rebuild its mobile presence from the ground up.


That list only refers to apps that were available for the iPhone and iPad. The former search leader also took down a handful of apps for Android.

Instagram facebook update


Instagram, the popular photo-editing and sharing app, has received its first round of updates since Facebook splurged to acquire it to the tune of one billion dollars. The iOS version was updated yesterday to version 2.5, and today the much younger Android variant received most of the same features as it reached version 1.1.4.

 

Share like


The big question for many users is, has Facebook sunk its claws into Instagram in a way that will hurt the user experience? After all, they presumably didn't drop a billion dollars just for kicks. The answer to that is sort of the updates introduce a Facebook heart feature that you tap on to show you like it. By default this only shows up for other Instagram users, but in the options menu you can choose to share your likes to Facebook automatically.

XBMC

 

XBMC is a popular media center application for the desktop known for its 10-foot UI and the ability to customize using plugins and skins. Now the developers have announced on their blog that they are working on a full-fledged version of the application for Android.


In the blog post, the developers mention that the app has been designed for Android-based devices such as set-top boxes, televisions, tablets and smartphones. The current version of the app being developed has similar UI and functionality to the desktop app. Naturally, this won't work on smartphones, so the developers are looking at the community to come up with suitable skins for the app.


The developers are unsure if the hardware decoding will make it to the final version of the app or will exist as patches for vendors to integrate. You Can Download & try the App from thr link Below.

amazon

 

The Amazon Appstore is a huge success for Android, Apple threatened to sue, but finally everything settled quietly and it became the go-to place for seekers of the best deals on apps with its daily price cuts and exclusive selection.


And now, it has grown to 50,000 applications. This might not seem like a huge number and it is not indeed, but thinking of the Amazon Appstore as a complement to the existing Google Play and its over 600,000 apps it definitely doesn't look bad.

Angry brids

 

Some of the Original footage from Star Wars: Episode IV has been used in Rovio's New Angry Birds: Star Wars trailer.

A total of 8 trailers are to be revealed prior to the launch of Angry Birds: Star Wars, and a 3-minute animated video featuring the characters in the game will be among them.


Angry Birds: Star Wars will be launched on November,8th and will be available for Android, iOS, Windows Phone, Mac, PC and Windows 8 devices.
