Mobile Security

ADD MORE SECURITY TO YOUR MOBILE PHONES

Carriers of both iOS and Android mobile devices can improve their mobile security with apps that offer help with password management, encryption and other security best practices.
                   By Aaron Weiss 



When security analysts look at the potential weaknesses in a system, they talk about how much "surface area" is exposed to risk. Mobile computing is an incredible convenience but it has also sizably increased our personal surface areas. Smartphones and tablets extend network access to our sensitive data well outside the home and office, and the devices themselves are physically small and vulnerable to loss and theft.

Nokia X : ANDRO

Nokia banking on its new Android smartphone 'Nokia X ' to regain market share

Gulveen Aulakh, ET Bureau



(Nokia expects its Android…)

Nokia expects its Android smartphones to help regain some of its lost market share in the crucial mid-range segment in markets like India, managing director for the country P Balaji said, adding that the premium Lumia smartphones and new Asha models which will be priced even lower than the existing ones will complete the company's portfolio.

ANDROID : Fitness Tracker

 

Jawbone's UP24 Makes Its Way to Android

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    By Katherine Noyes LinuxInsider


It seems incomplete -- to say the least -- for any mobile app to limit itself to iOS. Jawbone may have had good reasons for choosing to release its fitness tracker before it was ready for Android, but it still meant having to ignore a huge market segment. Now that it has rectified that omission, Jawbone may have vastly improved its chances of making it big in the wearable fitness market.

Red Hat Launches a 3-fer for Enterprise BPM Users

By Katherine Noyes
LinuxInsider

Red Hat's new JBoss BPM Suite is in part the result of its 2012 acquisition of Polymita, noted 451 Research analyst Carl Lehmann. The addition of that technology and other new features brings Red Hat's BPM offering on par with other BPM suites and "gives Red Hat some competitive differentiation in the market," he said. "I think they did a pretty good job there."

XBox : TitanFall

TITANFALL  TO  THUNDERSTORM  GAMESTORE  SOON

Gamers who have been holding out for a better deal on an Xbox One may be lining up at retail outlets Monday night. At the stroke of midnight, the much-anticipated Titanfall will go on sale, and customers who spring $500 for an Xbox One will have the $60 game tossed in for free. Then the fun -- or frustration -- starts, depending on whether the all-online game's servers can handle demand.

Apple's CarPlay Gambit: Retract One Claw to Hook With Another

By Chris Maxcer

By giving up total control, Apple is broadening its reach and stifling competition at the same time. Plus, it's a win for automakers.

Windows Phone 9 is on its way

Windows Phone 8 is over a year old now, yet we still know very little about Windows Phone 9.
