Mozilla Firefox 5 For Android Goes Live On The Android Market
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsGoogleAndroid
Mozilla‘s Firefox 5 for Android is now available from the Android Market, carrying over some of the same features as the new desktop browser. Most of the upgrade involved under-the-hood bug fixes and enhancements, but there are still a couple cool new features to get excited about.
For one, Mozilla included the Do Not Track function that was added to the desktop browser, giving the user more control over their data and information about their browsing habits to have a worry-free surfing experience. Unfortunately, the feature only works when websites recognize and honor the setting, so it may not actually make much of a difference for your average user.
Other features of the Firefox 5 mobile ...

Adobe AIR 2.7 brings improved speed to iOS, cordial installation to Android
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsAppleGoogleAndroidiOS 5
Adobe AIR 2.7 may be a sad joke for Linux users, but it's likely to be a true zinger for the mobile crowd. Take iOS, where the runtime now delivers noticeably faster performance, along with render speeds that are up to four times faster in CPU mode -- quite a punchline, if you ask us. For those on the Android side of the fence, you now have the option to install AIR to your device's SD card (and thus, make room for less considerate applications). Sadly, there's no monumental leaps in speed for Google's users, but you're getting used to this, right? For a quick peek of what the Apple constituency can expect, you'll find a video after the break with two iPads -- one running 2.6, the other feat...

Android gets new increasingly advanced malware
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsGoogleAndroid
Lookout is now warning us about a new threat that could possibly infect our Android phones. The latest development is a new type of malware that bypasses Google’s jurisdiction to get direct access to your phone. It’s scary stuff.
Last month Google remotely removed more than 25 applications from the market on the conviction that these were hiding a malware called DroidDream within its files. After Google handled the applications, these same guys went on to develop this new browser-based malware that is more advanced than any other ever developed for a mobile phone.

eBay Mobile app for Android updated with selling functionality
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsGoogleAndroid
Good news for mobile eBay sellers. The auction company revamped its Android application allowing users to actually sell stuff while not on their computer. Using your Android-powered device, you will be able to list an item from start to finish and even include up to 8 photos. What’s more, you can rely on RedLaser’s barcode scanning technology to prefill item details for an array of products. Moreover there are options to revise items from your “Active Selling” list, relist them from the “Unsold” list, “Sell one like this” capability (when viewing a similar item on eBay), as well as the ability to schedule an auction (start immediately or choose a later date), end an active auction, mark an i...

Device Analyzer Android study wants to track your every move, if you'll let it
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsGoogleAndroid
And here we thought folks were concerned about protecting their personal data. As it turns out, however, a surprising chunk of Android users have volunteered to give a group of University of Cambridge researchers a look at exactly how they use their cellphones. By downloading the Device Analyzer app from the Android market, more than 1,000 participants have allowed the data collection program to harvest statistics in the background while they use their phones. Those statistics -- varying from when the power is switched on, to which apps are in use -- are then made available to users via the Device Analyzer website. Of course, this is Cambridge, a rather well respected institution of higher l...

Smartphone data usage jumps 89% in the U.S., Android users still biggest gluttons
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsGoogleAndroid
The Nielsen Company on Friday released its latest findings regarding smartphone data usage and as expected, data consumption continued to increase at an explosive pace in the first quarter of 2011. In the same quarter last year, the average smartphone user consumed 230MB of data on their device each month. Last quarter, that number shot up 89% to 435MB. The heaviest data users are responsible for the bulk of the growth, with average data usage among the top 10% of smartphone owners having grown 155% from 1.8GB to 4.6GB on average each month.

Oracle claims billions in damages from Google's use of Java in Android, determined to get them
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsGoogleAndroid
The lawsuit action between Oracle and Google started last August with Oracle's claims of Google infringing a bunch of Java patents in its Android code, but did you know how big this whole process is? In the latest development of the saga, Oracle states that Google tried to hide “references to the fact that Oracle damages claims in this case are in the billions of dollars.” But does Oracle really stand a chance in getting those billions?

LG's new dual-screen Android phone for T-Mobile spotted
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsLGT-MobileGoogleAndroid
Sprint’s Kyocera Echo is currently the only dual-screen smartphone available, but the Echo may not hold that throne for much longer. Pocket-Lint has gotten its hands on several photos of a new dual-screen Android handset made by LG that’s possibly headed to T-Mobile in the U.K. The secondary display doesn’t look like it’s as versatile as the Echo’s — instead it appears limited to offering quick access to shortcuts — and it certainly has a unique split-keyboard design that would take some getting used to. The phone could launch as the Maxx Q or the Flip II if it ever makes a debut, but there’s no word if that’s definite. Hit the jump for a few more photos.
