Over a billion people today carry Android smartphones—devices that are more powerful than the computers we used just a few years ago.For many, these phones have become essential tools to help us complete important work tasks like checking email, editing documents, reviewing sales pipelines and approving deals. But for the majority of workers, smartphones and tablets are underutilized in the workplace.

Company executive confirms rollout of Nokia’s first Android-powered Smartphone range, which for some reason excludes some of the world’s most important markets
The Nokia X has been one of the longest-rumored devices to crawl out of the woodwork for some time. Seriously – there was once a time when the idea of an Android-powered Nokia seemed about as likely as the iPhone 6 running Tizen, but as we’ve learned time and time again it’s impossible to know what a tech firm will try out when facing turbulent times.So now we’ve had the official announcement...

Security researchers from Kaspersky Labs have spotted a new piece of malware targeting mobile devices running on the Android operating system that has the ability to cloak its origins, making it "impossible to shut down".
The malware, which Kaspersky calls "Backdoor.AndroidOS.Torec.a," has the ability to intercept SMS text messages sent on a smartphone and collect other data from the handset including the user's mobile number, the device's unique IMEI serial number and request GPS coordinates to identify where the device is currently located.

While Jolla has released their own handset, the main product is the mobile operating system, Sailfish OS. The Jolla handset gives the Finnish company a platform to show off the OS in an optimised environment, but the 400 euro price-tag does raise a rather large financial barrier for the early adopter crowd. That’s why the news regarding produce for Android handsets, released ahead of Monday’s Mobile World Congress event, is intriguing.By making the Sailfish OS available for free to install on other Android handsets, Jolla will...

Jolla’s Sailfish OS isn’t Android – not even an Amazon-style fork – but it can run Android apps and manufacturers can put it on the same hardware they use for Android devices. So after a pretty small-scale start, what would be the smart way for the plucky Finnish mobile upstart to make sure as many people as possible play with its software?
Yup. On Friday, Jolla announced the first complete version of Sailfish OS and said users themselves would later this year be able to install it on many Android devices – according...

In-game purchases are a major element of the modern gaming world – an alternative source of revenue, and less of a barrier to entry than app pricing. Why do I mention this? Amazon is extending “Amazon Coin” functionality to all Android devices with the Amazon Appstore installed.

The mobile market may still essentially be a two horse race, with Android and iOS enjoying a significant lead, but there are lots of upstarts trying to make inroads, too. One of those is Firefox OS, Mozilla’s attempt to bring a web-first focus to smartphones. Geeksphone has been an early Firefox OS hardware supporter, and now it has put the Revolution up for sale, a higher-end device than its earlier efforts, complete with the ability to dual-boot to both Android and Firefox OS out of the box.
If you’re used to working in a corporate...

When Google sold Motorola Mobility to Lenovo for $2.91 Billion at the end of last month, many were worried about what this would mean for the future of the team behind Motorola’s modular smartphone project code named Ara. Then one week ago, the ATAP team announced that it would be moving from Motorola to Google. This naturally lead to speculation regarding whether the ATAP team had anything else cooking in their secret ovens. The answer is now here: Google Project Tango.
In its current form, Project Tango is a working...
