It will launch in the UK, Germany, and the rest of HTC’s "key" European markets in mid-May, with Vodafone scoring a Europe-wide exclusive for "a couple of weeks. in Q2 of this year"

Rumor: Motorola may cancel the Droid Bionic... ...

At CES in January, Motorola made a point to show off three new devices: the Motorola Atrix for AT&T, the Motorola Xoom tablet running Honeycomb, and the Motorola Droid Bionic: a 4G LTEsmartphone destined for Verizon Wireless. The Droid Bionic has appeared on a number of leaked release slates, even though Motorola and Verizon have both declined to say when the phone will be released. Now rumors are popping up that due to issues in testing, the phone may be scrapped altogether.

The rumors started over at Howard Forums, and then wound up over at sites like Droid Life and Pocket Now, but for its part Motorola and Verizon Wireless are keeping tight-lipped about them. Some people point out that the Droid Bionic is entirely too late in its development and testing cycle to signal a cancellation. A delay may be possible, but not an outright retreat from the market.

Others point to a litany of rumored issues with battery life, and the fact that Motorola may be releasing a new version of MotoBlur with the Droid Bionic as all signals that all’s not well with the device. It’s also possible that Motorola may be refocusing its efforts on a new handset codenamed Droid Targa, which reportedly looks more like the Droid X with rounded edges and a smoother case design.

Still, the Bionic would be Verizon Wireless’ second LTE device (after the HTC Thunderbolt,) and its first dual-core LTE phone. Even though the hardware is very similar to the already-released Motorola Atrix on AT&T, Motorola is still doing a lot of things for the first time with the Bionic, the least of which is putting in an LTE radio.

It’s important to point out that all of this is rumor at the moment, and Motorola isn’t about to acknowledge any design or testing difficulty they have or haven’t had with the Droid Bionic by responding to them. Until they or Verizon Wireless pipe up with a release date for the Bionic, the speculation is likely to continue

MeeGo To Be Picked Up For Smartphone Use By LG?

MeeGo started out with such promise. It was a combined effort between Nokia and Intel, and it looked like it would soon become the go-to operating system for tablets and MIDs in the years ahead. But then, something happened. Something called iOS and Android, two operating systems that found their way onto tablets and have since dominated the market, leaving no room for the likes of MeeGo and Windows 7. Not to mention, Nokia since ditched their efforts in MeeGo and Symbian in order to focus on a Windows Phone 7-based future. 

But there still seems to be a bit of life remaining in MeeGo. Despite the fact that the bulk of the support is gone, it was a clever OS with a nice UI and a lot of good thoughts behind it. And those thoughts are seemingly interesting to LG Electronics. A new Reuters report confirms that LG is now moving forward with plans to adopt the Linux-based MeeGo, picking up mostly where Nokia left off. Valtteri Halla, a member of the technical steering group of MeeGo, had this to say: "It's opening opportunities for the others to come in. Discussions are taking place. You'll see things coming out this year, pretty soon."

In the past, Nokia's prominent role in MeeGo frightened other phone makers away, but now that they're gone, an opening is obviously there. A spokesperson for LG did say that the company has no definite plans to produce MeeGo systems outside of in-car-based rigs, but they didn't deny the rumors. It also seems plausible to think that a company with one foot in the MeeGo door would expand that somewhat and possibly use it to promote new handsets; it's hard to stand out in the crowd of Android phones, but being one of the only MeeGo phones would definitely make the news.

Now, we just have to kick back and wait to see if LG actually follows through on any of this. Would you buy a MeeGo phone? Definitely sounds tempting...

DroidDream Malware in Android Market... ...

There were over 50 applications discovered on the Android Market that contained malware called “DroidDream”. Malware can compromise your data by taking over your phone. The apps were removed immediately when Google became aware of it. It’s unknown if the measures removed them from the infected phones. More than 200,000 devices may have been infected. It has been called “the mother of all Android Malware”.

It will steal anything it can; product info, user ID and more. The biggest problem with “DroidDream” is its ability to download more code. This makes it impossible to know what the app can do once it’s installed and leaves open the possible problems. Once the app starts it uses its permissions to start infecting the phone and working. As a result of this and other threats security companies are now beginning to offer anti-virus and anti-malware software for Android devices.

This is a big concern for me as I recently upgraded to a smartphone running the Android OS. I have installed the “Lookout” app which scans apps as you initially download them and it scans them again when the app updates.

The overall consensus is that it’s not necessary to have ant-virus software installed on smartphones. I think this may have been true when smartphones were first becoming prevalent. But with increased usage it has become a larger target. I feel you should at least have an app or program that scans any apps you download. If you plan on using the phone for banking and other sensitive items I would recommend installing an anti-virus program.
