Twitter updated for iOS and Android
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsAppleGoogleAndroidiOS 4iOS 5
witter would be happier if you used their official app, and to make their case more compelling they have released updates to their iOS and Android apps. Both versions have enabled swipe shortcuts (or “re-enabled”, as the case may be), and added an explicit confirmation dialog that makes sure you know that using the “Find Friends” feature means Twitter will be accessing your contact data.
The privacy issue likely arises from changes Apple made to their App Store policies after popular iOS app Path was found to be lifting users contact data without permission (something that was possible, and not unique to Path, until recently). The Android version of the app already asked for permission when ...

iOS apps crash more than Android apps, study shows
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsAppleGoogleAndroidiOS 4iOS 5
Apps running on Apple’s iOS devices crash more frequently than Android apps according to a new study preformed by mobile app monitoring company Crittercism. The data, which was collected between December 1st and 15th last year, spans 23 different versions of iOS and 33 different Android versions. The latest version of iOS (5.0.1) leads all others with 28.64% of all crashes, Forbes reports. The OS build is still relatively new, however, so much of the poor performance could be attributed to apps that haven’t yet been properly updated. Even still, there are older version of iOS that have surprisingly high percentages — iOS 4.2.1 was responsible for 12.64% of crashes, iOS 4.3.3 had 10.66% and i...

Google+ updated for iOS with shiny new logo
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsAppleGoogleiOS 4iOS 5
The Google+ app has been updated for iOS users, and the new version adds a couple of nice features, but ignores some of the known issues with the app. The update brings the Google+ app on iOS to version 1.0.7.2940, which doesn't really tell you anything.
The nice additions to the app are the ability to upload full resolution pictures from your device, and also a search option. We could make quips about Google taking its sweet time in adding search to Google+, but it seems like a played out thought at this point. Either way, users on iOS can now search for topics, users and keywords on G+ right from the iOS app. One downside with the full res pictures is that you will be able to upload them,...

Google re-releases official iOS Gmail app hopefully for good this time
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsAppleGoogleiOS 4iOS 5
It seemed like only two weeks ago when Google decided to grace us with the presence of the official Gmail app for iOS. Well, that’s because it WAS two weeks ago when not only was the app made available, but approximately 11.7 minutes later, it was taken down by Google as it contained a crippling bug that would crash for users upon opening. Google has then fixed the bug, which was quite a doozy as the app took two weeks to be released again on the App Store, and is now available for your downloading pleasure.
Google has also revealed in the short time their Gmail app for iOS was made available, they received a lot of feedback from users to improve the Gmail on iOS experience, such as multipl...

Skype Aware Of XSS Vulnerability In iOS Apps, “Working Hard To Fix” It
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsAppleiOS 4iOS 5
If you’re using Skype for iOS on your iPhone or iPod touch, consider yourself warned: a cross-site scripting vulnerability looms in the “Chat Message” window in version 3.0.1 and earlier versions.
The hole allows attackers to execute malicious JavaScript code that runs when a victim views a chat message, enabling theft of information, including a user’s address book (see video below).
Skype says it is aware of the security issue, and had issued the following statement:
“We are working hard to fix this reported issue in our next planned release which we hope to roll out imminently. In the meantime we always recommend people exercise caution in only accepting friend requests from people they k...

Google Music launches on iOS as a beta web app

Google Music Beta seems like the most logical thing to have on Android - after all it allows you uploading some 20,000 tracks to the Google cloud and use them from almost any device, and almost was partly constituted by the hoard of iOS device users, which have been missing an app.

Google’s cloud music service now available on iOS
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsAppleGoogleiOS 4iOS 5
The Google Music service that launched back at Google I/O will now work on iOS devices, including both iPhones and iPads. The service has generated very little buzz since its inception and still remains in a private beta stage. However, the service had been rumored for months before its launch and is Google’s first major attempt to rival Amazon’s Cloud Player and Apple’s iTunes with iCloud.
Google struggled with securing licensing deals with major record label companies, causing several delays, and ultimately decided to launch it without much music industry support. Hence, Google Music operates similar to Amazon’s Cloud Player as a digital locker for mp3s rather than a fully integrated music...

Spotify Wants to Bake Itself Into All Your iOS Apps

Spotify Wants to Bake Itself Into All Your iOS Apps
Spotify's been up for nearly two months, and it's shown amazing growth. Now it wants to find its way into everything else you do on your iPhone by handing developers and Premium users the new Spotify API.
Called libspotify 9, the code will allow the program to live inside any app developers can think of. Spotify sessions are already handled pretty well by iOS multitasking, but, as excellent as the app is, you tend to have to leave what you're doing to change playlists. By sticking the functionality into games, for instance, you won't have to jump out of what you're doing in the middle of a campaign. Pretty neat.

Evernote for iOS updated with rich text support, password security
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsAppleiOS 4
Popular note-taking service Evernote has updated its iOS app for the iPhone and iPad with a number of new features that bring it to parity with the Windows Phone and Android versions of the app. Most notably, the Evernote app for iOS now supports rich text editing and password security options.
Apparently adding rich text support to the iOS version of Evernote was not as easy as it was on other platforms, so the company is quite excited about it. With rich text editing, you can add styled text, such as bold, italicized, or underlined text, highlight existing text, add URLs, create header text, and make lists.

In an interview yesterday, the Nokia executive said that Windows Phone 7 makes iOS and Android look outdated. Weber says the big difference between the platforms is that while iOS and Android are built around apps, Windows Phone 7 is built around a user's contacts making things easier and quicker with some functions requiring fewer steps.
