Another iPhone passcode vulnerability found

Barely have owners of devices running Apple’s iOS recovered from a newly discovered passcode vulnerability for devices running iOS 6.1 when a second bug surfaced this week.

The new bug may potentially allow access to a user’s contact list, voicemails and more, security vendor Sophos said in a blog post. “In this second version of the exploit, a hacker can also make the iPhone screen go black, thereby allowing him or her to plug the phone into a computer via USB and grab data off the device without a PIN or passcode credentials,” it said. The first vulnerability had surfaced earlier this month.

Sophos said both attacks involve using the Emergency Call function, the lock/sleep button, and the screenshot feature.

“When placing the emergency call, an attacker could cancel the call while holding the lock/sleep button in order to access data on the phone,” it said.

But the attacker will have to have physical access to the device.

“Exploiting this second bug still requires a certain degree of dexterity, if not a prehensile tail. But the bug still implies a risk to iOS 6.1 users’ data and Vulnerability Lab estimates it’s a high risk,” Sophos added.

Sony unveils waterproof, ultra-thin Xperia Tablet Z

                                                  

NEW DELHI: Sony, which recently unveiled its Xperia Z smartphone with a 5-inch screen, has taken another shot at the tablet market with a new ultra-thin device named Xperia Tablet Z. This tablet runs on Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) out-of-the-box and has waistline of just 6.9mm, thinner than rivals like Apple iPad and Google Nexus 10. Another key feature is its shockproof, dust resistant and waterproof body, which makes it largely impervious to damage. 

The all-new Xperia Tablet Z by Sony features a 10.1-inch TFT touchscreen with Mobile Bravia Engine 2 display technology and image resolution of 1920x1200p. It is powered by a 1.5GHz quad-core processor, coupled with 2GB RAM, and 32GB onboard storage, with microSD support of up to 32GB. The tablet has an 8.1MP camera with Exmor R imaging technology and LED flash on the back, a feature no other rival can match as of now. 

Connectivity suite of Xperia Tablet Z includes top notch features like 4G LTE as well as NFC, along with standard options like 2G, 3G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0 and microUSB. Powered by a 6,000mAh battery, the device will be available in black and white colours. Sony has also included its proprietary S-Force virtual surround sound technology in the tablet for enhanced audio quality. 

Sony has announced this tablet for Japan only as of now, though technology websites are abuzz that a global edition of this product will be unveiled at the Mobile World Congress in February 2013. This will be the third tablet by Sony, after Xperia Tablet S and Xperia Tablet P, which failed to make their mark in the market.

Samsung to launch 5.8-inch Galaxy Fonblet smartphone, Galaxy X Cover 2 at MWC 2013

Apart from unveiling it's latest flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S IV as well as the new Galaxy Note, the company is also planning to launch a new smartphone sporting a huge 5.8-inch display.

Samsung oriented blog, SamMobile states that the Korean electronics giant will soon announce a smartphone dubbed as the Galaxy Fonblet 5.8 (GT-I9152). It may come with Android Jelly Bean straight out of the box and feature dual-SIM capabilities as well. The device is expected to launch in Pure White.

This smartphone is expected to be a superior version of the Galaxy Player 5.8 that is currently available only in Korea. It comes with a 5.8-inch TFT screen with QHD resolution display, 3-megapixel camera, Bluetooth 4.0 and runs on Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich).

In some more news, the blog also confirms the existence of the next iteration of the Galaxy X Cover (launched in 2011) in the form of the X Cover 2 GT-S7710. The device is likely to come in two colour versions (Titan Gray and Black/Red). Pricing and availability details are currently unknown, but we expect Samsung to announce these smartphones soon.

Measuring 130.5 × 67.7 × 11.9 mm and weighing 148 grams, the Galaxy X Cover 2 will run Android Jelly Bean (version 4.1 or 4.2) and like its predecessor, is going to be dustproof and waterproof. Other features include a 4-inch WVGA display, 5-megapixel rear camera, VGA front-facing camera, 4GB of internal memory, microSD card support, HSPA+, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n, GPS, Bluetooth 4.0 and a 1,700 mAh battery.

Facebook Adds Voice Calling to iOS Messenger App

Facebook is rolling out a free calling option to iPhone Facebook Messenger users.

The new function, which is rolling out to the Facebook Messenger iOS app, requires Messenger users to open a conversation with another iPhone owner, tap the "i" button in the top right corner, and press "Free Call." The recipient will then receive a pop-up notification that says, for example, "Stephanie Mlot is calling."

To those users without full functionality yet, the app reminds you that free calling is unavailable, and "You don't have permission to chat with this person" (see below).

The new option offers a real boost to people with spotty cell service at work or at home, and those hoping to conserve minutes.

Facebook hinted that the feature was in the works earlier this month, when it rolled out updates to its iOS and Android Messenger apps to include voicemail. At that point, Canadian iOS users were also given access to the voice-calling feature.

As The Verge pointed out, the move means Facebook could have "one of the largest communities of VoIP users in the world." Competitors like Skype and Vonage have much smaller user bases compared to the most popular social network.

Facebook and Skype have been in cahoots for two and a half years, since the social network in 2011 integrated a Skype video-calling feature directly into Facebook.com. But the tool was not made available on mobile, perhaps to allow Facebook to strike out on its own.

The Facebook Messenger app is currently available for free in the Apple App Store.

Kim Dotcom starts new file-sharing site

Megaupload boss Kim Dotcom has set up a new cloud storage and file-sharing site.

Mr Dotcom launched Mega early on Sunday

Mega, a web-based service that lets people upload and store files of any kind, is a sequel to the Megaupload system that was shut down last January.

Police raids on the offices and home of Kim Dotcom led to the closure of Megaupload.

The Mega site went online at dawn on Sunday, with Mr Dotcom due to hold a gala at his New Zealand mansion later.

Mr Dotcom has said the new site complies with the law and warned that attempts to take it down would be futile.

"This is not some kind of finger to the US government or to Hollywood," he told Reuters on Saturday.
"Legally, there's just nothing there that could be used to shut us down. This site is just as legitimate and has the right to exist as Dropbox, Boxnet and other competitors."

Hours after the site was launched, Mr Dotcom tweeted that it had received 250,000 user registrations, although limited server capacity meant Mega was unreachable to many.

In a series of earlier tweets Mr Dotcom said every customer would have 50 gigabytes of free storage - far more than is offered by rival services such as Dropbox or Microsoft's SkyDrive.

A gala will be held at Dotcom Mansion in Auckland later

Mega will be encrypted so only those who upload data have access to it. 

Data is also being held in the cloud to make it easy for users to get and share files.

The 2012 raids on Megaupload were carried out because, said US law enforcement, many users of Megaupload were engaged in pirating content and illegally sharing it.

They accused Mr Dotcom and other managers at Megaupload of profiting from piracy.

Mr Dotcom, who was born Kim Schmitz, has rebuffed the accusations and is fighting a legal battle to stay in New Zealand from where he ran Megaupload.

A hearing on whether he can be extradited to the US is due to be held in March.

The case has generated controversy in New Zealand over the way the police and intelligence services gathered evidence before the raid and won an apology to Mr Dotcom from the country's prime minister.

Mr Dotcom has also won support from prominent computer pioneers such as Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak.

The raid on Megaupload put 25 petabytes of data uploaded to it by its 50 million members into a legal limbo.
In one message, Mr Dotcom said he was working with lawyers and the Electronic Frontier Foundation, which campaigns on digital rights issues, to get access to that seized data and return it to users.

HTC Butterfly to soon launch in India

HTC’s very first phablet may soon arrive in the Indian market as teased by the Taiwanese manufacturer’s Facebook page for the Indian region. This device is the very first 5-inch smartphone and it is called the HTC Butterfly.

The pricing for this device is not yet confirmed but an earlier report by AndroidOS.in suggests that it might have an MRP of Rs. 49,000 while later a few reports suggested that it might have a street price of Rs. 45,000. None of this is yet confirmed by the company, but we believe it is like to be priced somewhere above Rs. 45,000.

The HTC Butterfly first appeared as the HTC J Butterfly exclusively in Japan and then as the Droid DNA in the US via Verizon Wireless.

The device is powered by a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro processor clocked at 1.5GHz and it runs Android 4.1 Jelly Bean which is skinned with HTC Sense UI. It sports a 5-inch Super LCD 3 display with Gorilla Glass 2 protection. Further the device has 2GB of RAM, 16GB of built-in storage, 8.1 megapixel rear camera and a 2 megapixel front facing camera.

It is also equipped with a 2,020 mAh battery, all the prime connectivity features and a microSD card which supports expandable memory up to 32GB. The recently announced Xperia Z from Sony is more likely to be one if its key competitors.

Samsung Galaxy S IV coming in May 2013

Samsung is again readying a big launch for the month of May. The company which unveiled its flagship smartphone Galaxy S3 in May last year, is reportedly launching its successor Samsung Galaxy S IV in May 2013.

The speculations have been fuelled by a post from Samsung Lebanon on Facebook saying that the upcoming Galaxy S IV will not launch before May 2013. Facebook user Anthony Ghattas posted a question on Samsung Lebanon's page on the social networking website, asking, "Hey, is there any news for the Samsung Galaxy S4 release?" The reply he received from the company was "The Galaxy SIV won't be released before May 2013."

Sammobile, a tech blog, has also revealed leaked press shots of the Galaxy S IV. The blog noticed that "the device will use on-screen buttons as there is no home-button present on the device, the bezel around the device is much thinner and the device features a large display."

Rumours say that the upcoming flagship will have a 4.99-inch SuperAMOLED touchscreen with 441ppi pixel density. According to a Wall Street Journal report, the display of the device will be unbreakable, while rumours also suggest that it will also be bendable. Speculations are also rife that the device will be powered by a 2GHz quad-core processor and sport a 13MP camera on the back.

Ubuntu is coming to samrtphones, but will anyone use it?

Ubuntu has long been a favorite Linux desktop operating system for open-source fanatics and those who like to tinker with their technology. Now it's stepping out into a new frontier: Mobile.

Ubuntu developer Canonical unveiled a new interface on Monday re-imagined for touch devices, with a design that borrows cues from Android and Windows 8. The hard sell here isn't simply that Ubuntu now works on mobile devices. Canonical hopes that future devices will not only run the new mobile OS, but will also boot the desktop variant of Ubuntu when docked to a keyboard, mouse and monitor.That would let you literally use your phone to power your PC.   

This concept isn't entirely new, as Canonical revealed similar plans last year to attach its desktop software to devices running Android. Before that, Motorola tried to turn Android phones into laptops with its Atrix line of phones and docks. And let's not forget the hybrid operating system experiment that is Windows 8. 

But no one not even Microsoft has attempted to serve up its own phone OS and desktop OS in a single package. Despite its desktop-like features, Android considers itself a phone and tablet system, while Microsoft still has Windows Phone 8 operating autonomously from the tablet and desktop-centric Windows 8.

Is Ubuntu's new creation good enough to make even the tiniest inroads against the likes of Android, Apple's iOS and Windows Phone?
