2011, we could call it subtitle it as The Year Of Android Malware. It started with DroidDream and reports have been issued all year that have shown exponential growth in Android malware. It is not getting any better. If Juniper's research can be believed, it is getting much worse. Juniper says there has been a 472% rise in Android malware samples since July 2011. Juniper says that almost all of the Android malware contains code for root access that will force the device to communicate with a command-and-control server and download additional instructions. 55% of Android malware acts as spyware and the rise of "SMS Trojans" has become a significant problem.</p> <br style="clear: both"/> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20111117215423/http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/android_malware_up_472_since_july_juniper_says_inf.php#more">Continue reading »</a> <br/><br/> </div> <br/> <div class="bottom_border_style"> <div id="entry-30159" class="entry-asset asset"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20111117215423/http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/netflixs_new_tablet_ui_does_not_solve_its_search_p.php" class="titlelink">Netflix's New Tablet UI Does Not Solve Its Search Problems</a> </div> <div><div class="grey"> Written by <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20111117215423/http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/author/dan-rowinski.php">Dan Rowinski</a> / November 15, 2011 8:40 AM / <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20111117215423/http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/netflixs_new_tablet_ui_does_not_solve_its_search_p.php#comments">0 Comments</a> </div></div> <p> Netflix today announced a new user interface for all Android tablets, including both the Amazon Kindle Fire and Barnes & Noble Nook.

About 440.5 million cellphones were sold, with 115 million of those being of the smart variety, a 42% growth rate from Q3 2010 but only 7% growth from Q2 2011. The feature phone market is being buoyed by emerging markets while most of the smartphone growth was in Russia and China. Many other markets have stalled in smartphone growth. Gartner says the slowdown of smartphone growth in markets such as the United States and Western Europe was due to consumers waiting for flagship devices to be released, such as the newest iPhone, the Samsung Galaxy Nexus and the HTC Rezound. Nokia is still No. 1 in the world in overall sales while another study shows that the best selling single devices in the U.S. are Apple's variety of iPhones.</p> <br style="clear: both"/> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20111117215423/http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/android_dominates_q3_worldwide_smartphone_sales.php#more">Continue reading »</a> <br/><br/> </div> <br/> <div class="bottom_border_style"> <div id="entry-29985" class="entry-asset asset"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20111117215423/http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/new_iphone_ipad_and_android_apps_for_october_2011.php" class="titlelink">New iPhone, iPad and Android Apps for October 2011</a> </div> <div><div class="grey"> Written by <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20111117215423/http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/author/dan-rowinski.php">Dan Rowinski</a> / November 6, 2011 10:30 AM / <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20111117215423/http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/new_iphone_ipad_and_android_apps_for_october_2011.php#comments">0 Comments</a> </div></div> <p>Apple had a great month in the new app department, mostly spurred by the release of the iPhone 4S and all the iOS5-based applications that developers have been working on throughout the summer.

One can't help but think that Microsoft has handled Windows platform transitions better than this, but then again, Windows doesn't have to appease the interests of carriers and manufacturers. Now, an intensive 12-month study by mobile communications analysis firm WDS Global has come up with a quantifiable metric for the cumulative effects of platform fragmentation on carriers, and subsequently on consumers, based on estimates of 2011 Android smartphone shipments: The frustration from customers who have been unable to resolve their hardware and software issues through customer support, and end up returning their phones for replacement, ends up costing U.S. carriers a combined total of $2 billion annually.</p> <br style="clear: both"/> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20111117215423/http://www.readwriteweb.com/mobile/2011/11/analyst-android-fragmentation.php#more">Continue reading »</a> <br/><br/> </div> <br/> <div class="bottom_border_style"> <div id="entry-29938" class="entry-asset asset"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20111117215423/http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/smartphone_sweet_spot_adults_25_-_44_have_highest.php" class="titlelink">Smartphone Sweet Spot: Adults 25 - 44 Have Highest Adoption</a> </div> <div><div class="grey"> Written by <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20111117215423/http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/author/dan-rowinski.php">Dan Rowinski</a> / November 3, 2011 7:54 AM / <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20111117215423/http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/smartphone_sweet_spot_adults_25_-_44_have_highest.php#comments">0 Comments</a> </div></div> <p>The perception among younger adults is that everybody owns a smartphone. When numbers like 50% of U.S. cellphone owners have apps, the reaction inevitably comes, "only 50%?" It is easy for adults, say those from 25-44 years old, to forget that there is a significant portion of the U.S. population that does not own cellphones, let alone those of the smart variety. Mobile penetration in the United States is at 77%, which lags behind many other developed countries. Nielsen came out with its third quarter mobile numbers today and the demographics are intriguing. The reason that young people feel like everybody has smartphones is because they do. 62% of people 25-34 years old have smartphones. Of all cellphones in the U.S., 43% of them are smart.</p> <br style="clear: both"/> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20111117215423/http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/smartphone_sweet_spot_adults_25_-_44_have_highest.php#more">Continue reading »</a> <br/><br/> </div> <br/> <div class="bottom_border_style"> <div id="entry-29802" class="entry-asset asset"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20111117215423/http://www.readwriteweb.com/cloud/2011/11/a-better-way-to-print-from-you.php" class="titlelink">A Better Way to Print From Your Phone</a> </div> <div><div class="grey"> Written by <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20111117215423/http://www.readwriteweb.com/cloud/author/david-strom.php">David Strom</a> / November 2, 2011 10:00 AM / <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20111117215423/http://www.readwriteweb.com/cloud/2011/11/a-better-way-to-print-from-you.php#comments">0 Comments</a> </div></div> <p>Cloud printing vendor Electronics for Imaging (EFI) announces today a new PrintMe Mobile version.

According to Chris Weber, the head of Nokia's North American operation, there are some tricky obstacles to rolling out in the U.S. and Nokia is working with the cellular operators to bring unique Windows Phone devices to each. When Stephen Elop said that the U.S. would have a "product portfolio" at the end of the Nokia World keynote, what he really meant was that each device at each U.S. individual carrier will be different. Think of it in the same guise that Samsung takes with its original Galaxy S series - ubiquitous and everywhere.</p> <br style="clear: both"/> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20111117215423/http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/nokia_to_battle_android_in_the_us_with_unique_devi.php#more">Continue reading »</a> <br/><br/> </div> <br/> <div class="bottom_border_style"> <div id="entry-29715" class="entry-asset asset"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20111117215423/http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/weekly_wrap-up_4chans_founder_tells_facebook_and_g.php" class="titlelink">Weekly Wrap-up: 4Chan's Founder Tells Facebook and Google They're Doing It Wrong and more</a> </div> <div><div class="grey"> Written by <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20111117215423/http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/author/robyn-tippins.php">Robyn Tippins</a> / October 21, 2011 3:30 PM / <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20111117215423/http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/weekly_wrap-up_4chans_founder_tells_facebook_and_g.php#comments">0 Comments</a> </div></div> <p>Founder of 4Chan, Chris Poole, aka moot, gave a particularly strong talk at Web 2.0 Expo, in which he asserted that Facebook and Google were doing it wrong, and that they should emulate Twitter's stance on identity.
