HTC Widlfire “soft” rooted
So, it’s not the big, badass hard root that enables custom ROMs and NAND unlocks, but the HTC Wildfire now has a method of rooting that allows the installation (and more importantly, the execution) of all those wonderful “root only” apps on the Android Market.
Despite this limitation, you Wildfire owners can’t really grumble, as now you can wirelessly tether your internet connection, backup your apps n settings, or take screenshots, among other tasks.
Full details on how to get it on your phone are over at XDA, but note that you will have to re-enable root every time you reboot your phone. Baby steps, baby steps…
Read more...Apple Support Discussions to Become a “Community”
According to an announcement at Apple Discussions, “very soon” we can expect more easily accessible and friendly “Apple Support Communities” for all our free troubleshooting needs. Expect to get what you pay for.
While I’ve been able to troubleshoot problems with products using Discussions, it’s seldom been easy. Besides the antiquated search engine, the quality of answers for a given question can vary widely. The Introductory FAQ for the new Apple Support Communities doesn’t give the impression that will change much.
Why iPod touch Specs Will Never Compete With iPhone
We’re nearing the end of summer here, and that means two things without fail: back-to-school sales and the annual Apple iPod touch refresh. Although I switched to an Android handset in January, I do miss my daily iPhone use. I’m getting my iOS fix through an iPad for now, but I keep thinking how great it would be if the next iPod Touch is every bit an iPhone minus the cellular voice support. That’s not going to happen this September or any September when Apple updates the iPod Touch; the iPhone will always have better specifications than the iPod Touch for one simple reason: money.
Investment in iPad and iPhone App Startups Up 220%
Despite Antenna-gate and Android-boom, it appears as though venture capitalists and angel investors are still pouring money into startups developing iPhone and iPad apps. That's the findings of a recent CB Insights report that examines the investment in the Apple ecosystem over the last 12 months.
According to CB Insights, investment in pure play iPhone and iPad startups has grown over 220% over the last year as compared to the previous year.
"Pure play" companies are those whose sole focus is building applications for iPhone and iPad. Between 2008 and 2009, there were 11 investment rounds over 10 companies, with almost $38 million raised. This year, over the same time period, there were 17 investment rounds distributed over 16 companies for a total investment of $120.6 million.
Apple Hires NFC Expert, Mobile Payments Coming to iPhone?
Apple has just hired Benjamin Vigier, an expert in the field of near-field communications, as its new product manager for mobile commerce, reports NearFieldCommunicationsWorld.com, a trade publication for NFC-based products.
NFC is a short-range, high-frequency wireless technology which lets devices, primarily mobile phones, communicate with other NFC devices in order to exchange data. This allows for a number of applications including mobile ticketing, mobile payment, e-money, electronic keys, smart billboards and more.
Vigier has been involved in NFC technology since 2004, working at French mobile network operator Bouygues Telecom and flash memory manufacturer Sandisk, NFC World reports. Most recently, he served as the product manager for mobile payments company mFoundry, where he designed PayPal's mobile service and Starbuck's barcode reading application, also used for mobile payments at checkout.
BlackBerry's Position in India Shakier than Reported
American news media reported today that a deal between Research in Motion and the Indian government over data accessed by BlackBerry users was imminent, suggesting that the company's position in India was in flux but ultimately secure.
Not so, Indian news sources are reporting now. "BlackBerry maker RIM denies knowledge of accord with India," reports the Hindustan Times, and the Times of India is reporting that the Indian government is bypassing RIM altogether - "Yank BlackBerry services, govt tells telecom firms."
"Bypassing Research In Motion (RIM), the makers of BlackBerry phones, the government has now asked telecom operators to make arrange for interception and monitoring of BlackBerry's messenger and enterprise services in readable format by August 31, or block these services," the Times of India reports.
Tap Snake Game in Android Market is Actually Spy App (UPDATE)
Another day, another Android app scare. This time, the app in question isn't a Russian-created Trojan that drains bank accounts but rather an innocent-looking clone of the "Snake" game called "Tap Snake." However, Tap Snake isn't just a game. It's actually client software for a commercial spying application called GPS Spy.
Used in combination with Tap Snake, GPS Spy can monitor the physical location of the mobile phone with the game installed.
Updated with Google's comment, see bottom of post.
Not A Major Threat
As scary as it sounds - mobile spyware! - the threat isn't as bad as it seems, say security researchers.
