March 17, 2010

As a aftermath, it seems that DroidSecurity managed to get a healthy 10,500 new users to download its mobile device shield solution in the 24-hours that followed the discovery of the virus. While the virus itself didn’t affect the mobile phone, but when the phone was plugged to a PC using a USB connection, the user ran the risk of getting infected by said viruses, not to mention a Lineage password stealer was plus found on the device. Does that mean that we should have antivirus scanners running on our mobile phones all the instance in the future?

Google Nexus One sales figures are sub-par
March 16, 2010
Statistics, and damned statistics! Well, these figures don't lie when it comes to the number of Google Nexus One handsets being sold all through the first 74 days of its life in the market. After all, when you compared the Motorola DROID and iPhone, their respective first 74 days resulted in 1.05 million units as well as around 1 million units, while the Nexus one touched slightly more than 10% of those figures at a mere 135,000 Nexus Ones moving into the pockets of consumers. Hopefully with the impending roll out on Verizon Wireless and Vodafone in the coming months, the figures might just bump up.
