Smartphone screens may soon detect disease

Your smartphone screen may soon be able to tell you if you have a disease. For a while now, researchers have been looking into collecting samples of saliva, urine or blood using a cheap, USB-stick-sized lab-on-a-chip. Now, Hyun Gyu Park and Byoung Yeon Won, of the Korea Advanced Institute for Science and Technology, are suggesting the lab-on-a-chip “could present a tiny droplet of the sample to be pressed against a phone’s touchscreen for analysis, where an app would work out...

Samsung Focus S Review

The good: The Samsung Focus S has a gorgeous, large touch screen; a good 8-megapixel camera; a front-facing 1.3-megapixel camera; and HSPA+ speeds. The bad: Thin and less than 4 ounces in weight, the phone lacks durability. The bottom line: Bolstered by a brilliant display and strong hardware specs, the Samsung Focus S is arguably the best Windows Phone ever released. The Windows Phone OS has arrived on a number of good handsets, but none of the manufacturers...

Android 4.0 Upgrade: Coming Soon To Your Phone?

Siri’s first real competition hits Android phones today [video]

Apple’s Siri represents the birth of a new breed of voice-controlled smartphone assistant services, and it is only a matter of time before other companies begin to expand their offerings as a result. While Microsoft and Google undoubtedly work to refine their own voice command services, a new third-party app hits the Android Market on Tuesday that could represent Siri’s first real competition. Cluzee, billed as your intelligent personal assistant, offers Android users a Siri-lik...

Apple beats Android in Britain

(Reuters) - The long-awaited iPhone 4S launch helped Apple Inc take top spot in the British smartphone market in October, overtaking phones using Google Inc's Android platform, data from research firm Kantar Worldpanel ComTech showed on Monday.

Hackers prey on smartphone use at work during holidays

More people than ever are using their personally owned smartphones as an essential work tool. And now an unprecedented number of them are using their smartphones to hunt for bargains and buy gifts. This development has created a new tier of risks for corporate networks, says John Pironti, an adviser with ISACA, a global IT professionals association. "Cybercriminals are actively trying to leverage mobile devices as part of their attacks," he says. "The holiday season provides them...

HTC told to stop selling its smartphones in Germany

German patent firm IPCom has ordered HTC to stop sales and distribution of all its smartphones in Germany, saying the Taiwanese firm faces fines if it does not comply. "If HTC fails to comply, and continues to sell UMTS-capable devices, IPCom will initiate a so-called 'Zwangsgeldverfahren' under German law, which will result in fines being levied until it complies," IPCom said in a statement. HTC sells around 2m smartphones a year in Germany, according to the research firm...

Best Android smartphone apps of 2011 for business pros

The Android Market may not have as many apps as the iPhone App Store yet, but there are still more than enough to be overwhelmed, and it continues to grow at a breakneck pace. Remember that I primarily had business professionals in mind when making this list and also keep in mind that this is a snapshot in time. The Android platform is developing so quickly that I guarantee my home screen will look different a month from now. Still, here’s my list of tried-and-true Android apps...

What to expect in Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich

The next Android OS - 4.0 or Ice Cream Sandwich — is going to have the best of 2.0 and 3.0 on the world’s fastest growing smartphone. However, the tablet interface is quite a bit better than the smartphone iteration. That, of course, doesn’t mean 4.0 will have everything on the desktop the tablet has, but the smartphone version of the Android desktop will get a much-needed face lift. Let’s take a look at what we can all expect from the next flavor of Android. Multitaskin...
