Google Maps on IOS 6

After months of rumors following the announcement and subsequent botched roll out of Apple’s own mapping application, Google has released a stand alone Google Maps application for iOS 6 with substantial updates over the previously Google-powered but debranded Maps application previously shipped by Apple since the launch of the iPhone.

The new Google Maps for iOS features the following additions from the previous built-in version:

• Free turn-by-turn equal to the Android version
• Mass transit directions
• Street View integration
• 3D viewing capability

The release of Google Maps on Apple’s iOS after being pushed aside this year follows a tumultous 6 months for the company whereby the announcement of Apple’s own Maps application unrealistically raised expectations following a very slickly produced preview during the Worldwide Developers Conference in June. However, once the updated iOS 6 rolled out with Apple Maps, the reaction to its mapping capabilities was swift and immediately negative, enough to force Apple to make the uncharacteristic step of issuing a public apology and forcing out the two key executives in Scott Forstall and Richard Williamson over the debacle.
While the return of Google Maps is being met with jubilation, the app does not immediately replace Apple Maps, as the operating system will not allow the app to be set as the default mapping application, with Apple Maps being integrated at the system level and forcing many users to make compromises in usage, though those compromises are being seen as tolerable compared to the typical user complaints for Apple Maps during daily use. The app is available now.

Dell Focused On Windows 8/RT

In what should come as a surprise to absolutely no one that has followed Dell’s attempts to compete in the global smartphone race over the past 2 years, Dell head of consumer development Jeff Clarke has confirmed while speaking at the Dell-produced Dell World employee conference that the computer manufacturer is officially ceasing all development on smartphones and Android, following previous attempts to compete in the now hyper competitive market.
 
With the official confirmation of Dell’s exit from the smartphone market on the global level, it emphasizes the current state of the market whereby Samsung and Apple are soaking up the majority of profits while smaller manufacturers struggle to carve out a profitable niche and many of them are regularly posting quarterly losses while struggling to compete in terms of marketing and device development.

While Dell started its smartphone business with the poorly received Aero, it looked to carve out its own niche with the first attempts at Android tablets with the Streak 5 and Streak 7 before leaving them to rot on the vine in terms of development due to unforeseen internal issues. In fact, so poor was the support for the Streak series that the carrier versions of the Streak 5 and Streak 7 were not even updated to their last working Android versions in Gingerbread.

On top of those issues with Android, Dell also attempted to support Windows Phone 7 by signing on as one of Microsoft’s preferred launch partners in late 2010, only to botch that release with limited availability of its Venue Pro smartphone, which was exacerbated by firmware issues related to Wi-Fi driver integration causing lower than expected stock as well as intentionally limiting the phone to online sales and sales through dedicated Microsoft stores, causing more stress for those that purchased the phone and had to file returns for the faulty hardware.

All of those issues came to a head earlier this year when rumors started circulating that Dell would indeed abandon smartphone sales in the US, which was subsequently confirmed after an initial denial and shift to the Chinese market, with the expectation that the Chinese market would have proven less competitive  and more profitable, which did not turn out to be the case.

Now, the company looks to be refocusing on Windows tablets with the push for 8/RT with the XPS10, XPS12 and Latitude 10 though whether the tablets will aid Dell in its long-running and so far unsuccessful “transformation” initiative remains to be seen, as the reception to both Windows 8 and RT have proven to be less popular than expected by either OEMs or Microsoft.

ZTE Render is available on US Cellular with Windows Phone 7.5

The timing seems a bit odd, but here it is, the ZTE Render is available on US Cellular. The Render is also known as the ZTE Orbit, which was announced way back in February.

For $179 on a two-year agreement before a mail-in $100 rebate, you get an understated design with a 4-inch WVGA screen, 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S1 (MSM7627A) processor, 5MP auto-focus camera, 512MB of RAM, 4GB of storage and Windows Phone 7.5 Tango. 7.5 Tango?

Yes, you read that right. US Cellular is launching this phone just in time for Windows Phone 8.  With the new Windows Phone OS around the corner, and US Cellular’s otherwise excellent line-up, it is difficult to grasp the timing for the ZTE Render.  It will complement their only other Windows Phone device, the sliding QWERTY HTC 7 Pro by offering a touch-screen only option.

Of course, we must not overlook that Windows Phone 7.8 upgrades will be coming to existing Tango devices, so these handsets will still have support down the road and not be completely out of date.  Based on the specs of the device, the pricing appears a bit too aggressive, but not completely unaffordable. For those US Cellular customers that want a touchscreen only Windows Phone, they now have that choice.

Logitech Keyboard for iPad

Those who live and die by color coordination can breathe a bit easier today, as Logitech has introduced its Ultrathin Keyboard Cover for the iPad in white. Like the black model, the accessory operates via Bluetooth and features a battery that's said to provide up to six months worth of go time -- a statistic that's based on two hours of usage per day. You can expect to coat your very own white keyboard with a layer of grime in short order: it's currently available for pre-order on Logitech's website for $100 and is said to hit Apple retail stores later this month.

HTC One X+ Leaked

For the second time, we're seeing specs leak out from what would no doubt be HTC's flagship phone, the One X+, but this time there's a lot more detail. An anonymous XDA developer called @Football4PDA, who has shown reliable form in the past by outing the HTC Accord Windows Phone, has tweeted the impressive specs for the possible HTC One X successor. He claims that the phone will be about 134 x 70 x 9.3 mm in size, weight in at 129 grams and pack the new Tegra 3+ AP37 1.6GHz quad-core / 1.7GHz single-core processor with 1GB of RAM and a 32GB ROM. The tipster also said it'll be skinned with HTC Sense 4.5 on top of Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, while still sporting the rather anemic One X 1800mAH battery. Naturally, a tweet out of the blue accompanied by no other proof shouldn't be taken as gospel, but it does reinforce another recent leak regarding the high-end device. Either way, we'll probably find out at HTC's big event on September 19th.

HTC Accord, Windows Phone Based

HTC's plans for Windows Phone 8 may be filling out fast. We saw XDA-Developer member Football4PDA post a schematic of the Accord less than a week ago, and today he's posting what could be more concrete information. Supposedly, HTC's inaugural device might be named the 8X -- not quite as charming, but definitely simple. More importantly, the software in the claimed leak suggests the company will bring a trace of Sense UI style to the home screen, rather than having to relegate it to the HTC Hub: a live tile would bring the oversized clock and weather that One owners know so well. Just don't anticipate a flagship device here. If the specifications are real, the 8X would bear more in common with the Droid Incredible 4G LTE, sharing its 1.2GHz dual-core chip, 8-megapixel rear camera, Beats Audio and NFC while picking up a slightly larger 4.3-inch screen and 16GB of storage. Our main question centers around the unveiling. While HTC has an event lined up for later this month, there's no guarantee that the 8X will show up at that gathering or even launch side-by-side with Windows Phone 8 itself.

HTC One S arrives in China

HTC has delivered smartphone triplets to the Chinese market: the HTC One ST, SC and SU -- and while the devices have identical guts (except for network gear), each has its own housing, carrier and color scheme. All three carry 4.3-inch 800 x 480 screens, dual-core 1GHz processors, 1GB RAM, 4GB storage, a 5-megapixel camera with 5 fps continuous shooting, Beats audio, dual-sim / dual standby capability and Android 4.0 with HTC sense 4. But the HTC One ST, destined for China Mobile, brings a curvier 9.2mm thick design and choice of three colors, including a now passé red. The One SC for China Telecom has a squarish, 8.9mm asymmetric two-tone design, and three color choices as well, including a burnt orange for the more fashion forward. Finally there's China Unicom's HTC One SU, with a similar body to its SC counterpart, but featuring powder blue as an accent color. No pricing has been announced yet for the entry-level spec'd models, but consumers there may want to check their wardrobes before picking up one of the bolder models.

Samsung Galaxy Note II with Dual SIM

Now that the second-gen Note is finally out of Samsung's precious (and teasing) bag, we're learning more and more about the exorbitant device -- not to say we weren't expecting this to be the case, however. Still, we were rather intrigued by the distinct Galaxy Note II pictured above, which, by the looks it, comes pre-loaded with dual-SIM capabilities, and thus makes this particular unit slightly different than that one unit we played with back at IFA. Although details are still very scarce at the moment, rumor has it the dual-SIM Note will only be available in China and, aside from the slot additions, all other features the famed phablet offers appear to be exactly the same. Feel free to check out the source below for more pics, but don't expect anything too exciting or out of the ordinary -- unless, of course, extra SIM slots are your thing.

Lexibook-Kids in US

French educational tech maker Lexibook is bringing its eponymous kiddy-tablet to the US from next month. It's not talking specs or price, but we're expecting it to be close to the Lexibook First currently available in Europe. The seven-inch slate packs a 600MHz processor, 256MB RAM, 4GB storage (expandable to 16GB with an microSD card), parental controls and 802.11 b/g WiFi. The FroYo-running device retails for £150 ($237) over the pond, but if the company tries something similar over here, we suspect people might plump for something a little more powerful, or less expensive, or both.

T-Mobile Galaxy Note discontinued?

The Android powered device has made a sudden and mysterious exit from T-Mobile’s website and has had a status shift to “backordered” on several other sites. Android Police is reporting that an anonymous inside contact of theirs stated that T-Mobile is placing the Samsung Galaxy Note on EOL (end of life) with an estimated end date of November 1st. 

T-Mobile officially responded to the reports by simply saying, "The Samsung Galaxy Note is currently out of stock online via www.T-Mobile.com; however the device is still available for purchase at select T-Mobile retail stores." 

This, of course, leads us to speculate how soon we could see the rumored Galaxy Note II debut, and if it will make an appearance on T-Mobile. If the Galaxy Note II is in fact making its way to T-Mobile in the coming months, it would make sense for the carrier to start depleting inventory ASAP.

Nokia Dominate WIndows Phone Market

Windows Phone doesn't hold a big section of the smartphone market worldwide, but it is growing, and a lot of that is thanks to the success of Nokia's Lumia handsets. Microsoft has given Nokia a lot of preferential treatment, and it has paid off according to the new numbers from Localytics. Although, the other Windows Phone manufacturers may not be too excited.

Localytics released its Windows Phone market share numbers for July, and they show some pretty impressive growth by Nokia. As of this past January, Nokia wasn't even in the US market with Windows Phone, and had just 22% of the worldwide Windows Phone market. Now, Nokia holds 32% of the US market, and a whopping 59% of the worldwide market. 

Nokia's success comes at the price of Samsung and HTC though. Samsung's US WP market share dropped from 36% to 26% in the first 7 months of 2012, and its worldwide share dropped from 23% to 13%. HTC has been hit the hardest though. HTC still holds the majority of the US WP market at 36%, but that is down from 54% in January, and worldwide HTC's share has dropped from 44% to just 21%.

Acer Liquid Gallant and Liquid Gallant Duo

n addition to PCs and tablets, the folks at Acer make smartphones too, you know. In fact, their Android-powered CloudMobile handset, which we got to play with back in February, should hit the shelves no later than next month. But that isn't the only device the company plans to launch in September.

The Acer Liquid Gallant Solo and Liquid Gallant Duo have been announced officially and will be on display at IFA 2012. When it comes to hardware, both handsets are practically identical, with the dual-SIM functionality on the Duo model being the only significant difference.

Other than that, both Acer Liquid Gallant models come with a 1GHz processor made by MediaTek, 1GB of RAM, 4.3-inch screen with qHD resolution (540 by 960 pixels), and 5-megapixel main camera. To no surprise, Android 4.0 comes installed out of the box. Last but not least, the smartphones will be available in Gentle Black or Ceramic White.

There is no word regarding the pricing of these two smartphones, but it probably won't be long until we find out more on the matter. The Acer Liquid Gallant Solo and Gallant Duo are scheduled to launch in September.

Samsung Galaxy SII Leaked?

This past February, rumors started circulating that Samsung was going to bump up the processor on the Samsung Galaxy S II and call it the Samsung Galaxy S II Plus.  Remember, this rumor started months before anyone had an idea what the specs were going to be on the Samsung Galaxy S III. The Samsung Galaxy S II Plus was spotted on the An3DBenchXL benchmark site back in February, carrying a dual-core 1.5GHz Exynos processor. That would be a slight bump from the dual-core 1.2GHz Exynos processor found on the international version of the Samsung Galaxy S II as well as on the Sprint and AT&T variant of the phone. The T-Mobile branded model of the Samsung Galaxy S II had a dual-core 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor under the hood.

According to Chilean carrier VTR, the Samsung Galaxy S II Plus will have a 4.52 inch screen (which represents a slight increase from the international and AT&T Galaxy S II models and is the same size as the Sprint and T-Mobile versions), 1 GB of RAM, 16GB of storage and an 8MP camera on back. While the benchmark tests earlier this year had the device flexing its muscles with Gingerbread abroad, the latest speculation has Android 4.0 being installed instead.

The Samsung Galaxy S II Plus appears to be available now, according to the VTR web site, priced at 355,900 Chilean Pesos ($734.34 USD)

The best question to ask is why Samsung would go ahead with this when the Samsung Galaxy S III, with clearly much more advanced specs, is selling like hotcakes.

Android Jelly Bean 4.1 from AOKP and MIUI

If you are an Android power user that likes to load custom ROMs onto your phone, today is turning out to be a pretty great day for you. Popular ROM makers AOKP and MIUI both have released their first official ROMs based on Android 4.1 Jellybean. That brings buttery smoothness to some of the most popular after-market versions of Android out there. While several ROM makers have been releasing very preliminary builds for a couple of weeks, these two have a level of stability and feature-richness that those unofficial releases lacked.

MIUI feels a bit like basic Android with aesthetic touches borrowed from both Samsung’s Touchwiz and Apple’s iOS (see below). The initial release of MIUI is just for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus (all models) and the Google Nexus 7 tablet, although we expect more devices to be supported soon.

AOKP's first official release is currently compiling so we don't know which phones are in the initial batch, but if their past in any indication they will support several devices in short order. AOKP has more of a stock Android look, but layers in numerous ways to tweak the phone to your liking, including built-in notification toggles, navigation bar modifications, and the ability to control the audio level independently for each input (e.g. media, phone calls, etc.), as well as custom theming so you can make your device look "just so".

Both releases are essentially 1.0 versions, so they should be stable enough to use as a daily driver, but if you are the type that likes having every last bug squished you may want to wait for a few more releases. Also of note, CyanogenMod has just started doing nightly beta releases of CM10; CyanogenMod has been the most popular custom ROM so far, and with nightlies having started it may only be a matter of weeks before they have an official release as well.

So choose your custom ROM carefully – and as always, if you are not comfortable hacking your phone (and accepting responsibilities if you screw it up) then just hang tight. Most of the newer phone and tablet models should see Jelly Bean in the coming months. And if you are new to MIUI, some shots of the interface can be seen in below

Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (7.0) Student Edition Bundle

The Samsung GALAXY Tab 2 (7.0) Student Edition Bundle includes the tablet in white, a keyboard dock and a USB peripheral connector all for the price of the tablet itself, $249.99. The bundle goes on sale starting Sunday and while we originally told you that it would be available at Best Buy, it will also be on sale at Amazon, Tiger Direct, Costco and Fry’s Electronics. The offer runs through September 1st.

Samsung notes that with the keyboard and the USB connector, students can add a plug-in mouse and get to work writing those important term papers. Afterward, they can use the tablet to relax while watching their favorite movies.

In case you forgot about the tablet's specs, the Samsung GALAXY Tab 2 (7.0) is equipped with a 7inch Super PLS LCD display with resolution of 1024 x 600 and a rather low pixel density of 170ppi. Under the hood is a dual-core 1GHz processor with 1GB of RAM and 8GB of native storage aboard.  A 32GB capacity microSD slot can expand storage and a 4000mAh battery keeps the gears turning. A 3MP camera on back captures video in 720p at 30fps and there is a VGA front facing camera for self portraits and video chat. The version of the tablet available with the bundle has Wi-Fi connectivity only, and comes out of the box with Android 4.0.

iOS sms text spoofing ?

A relatively serious flaw in the way iOS handles SMS messages has been found by hacker and iOS security researcher pod2g. It appears that there are some phones (not only the iPhone) that are compatible with a number of advanced SMS functions, that become enabled if a hacker tinkers with the UDH (User Data Header) section of a text message. One of these advanced functions allows the user to specify a different reply-to path for the message than the original one (which would be the number that actually sends the message).

According to pod2g, the right way to implement this feature would be to make both the original and reply-to addresses visible to the recipient of the SMS. This way they will know which number has sent the message, and which number will receive the message once they reply. However, it looks like on the iPhone the user only sees the reply-to number, and they lose track of the original sender's number. This way, pod2g explains, it's very easy for a hacker to pretend that the message is send from a trusted source like your bank, when it actually isn't.

Here's the explanation directly from the horse's mouth:

"In the text payload, a section called UDH (User Data Header) is optional but defines lot of advanced features not all mobiles are compatible with. One of these options enables the user to change the reply address of the text. If the destination mobile is compatible with it, and if the receiver tries to answer to the text, he will not respond to the original number, but to the specified one. Most carriers don't check this part of the message, which means one can write whatever he wants in this section : a special number like 911, or the number of somebody else."

According to the hacker, this kind of SMS flaw can be used for various bad stuff including someone pretending to be a trusted source, asking you to submit your personal data, or even a spoofed message acting as a false evidence.

Probably the most interesting thing about this whole story is that the flaw has been present ever since the launch of the original iPhone back in 2007, and continues to be around with the latest beta of iOS 6. pod2g presumes that other security researchers, as well as some pirates are also aware of it... which would be strange, because we should have known about this by now, if other security researchers like him were really aware.
