April 15, 2011 10:27 am The Skype Android app appears to have a big old hole in it that could allow a malicious actor (and we don’t mean Christopher Lee) to access personal data. Android Police discovered that the Skype Android app has SQLite3 databases which store your information and chat logs and that Skype has not encrypted those files or put structures in place to enforce permissions. Oops! The bug essentially means a rogue app could slip in and grab your data. Android Police have created an app calle Skypwned which proves the problem is there. While just asking for basic Android storage and phone permissions, Skypwned is able to grab your full name and phone number and list all your contacts even without your Skype username. Skype is investigating the issue. Let’s hope it plugs that hole sharpish. Read More

The best Android apps of all time are a hard bunch to pick: after all, there’s now an estimated 230,000 different Android apps and games on the Android Market alone to choose from, and that’s not even the only repository for programs that’ll run on Google’s mobile OS. But pick them we did, and you can see them – and download them – right from our epic guide right here. Grab your Android phone, make a cuppa and read on for the best Android apps of all time: Top 100. There’s no statistical procedure for making the cut: these our simply the 100 best Android apps as decided by Electricpig’s staff, who live and breathe Android. These are the ones we use day in, day out, and have earned a vital place on our Android phones’ all too limited internal storage. We’ve not included core Google apps that come preloaded, like Gmail, Voice Search, Google Maps and Navigation, or others that come pre-installed in supported phones like Adobe Flash 10.1. If you’ve got an Android phone, you’ll already have these, and you’ll already know they’re awesome. Likewise, we’ve only included Android apps that are available in the UK – so no Google Voice for now. For download links, we’ve not provided QR codes, but instead linked through to AppBrain wherever possible: that way, whether you’re on PC, tablet or Android phone, you can click through to a central hub page where you can see reviews, pricing, direct Android Market link and QR codes. Where an Android app isn’t sold through the Market, we’ve linked to the developer’s download page so you can buy it just as easily. But enough talk: read on and see the best Android apps of all time! In network speak, “unlimited” data rarely means unlimited – you’ve Read More

Finding the best Android apps out on any given month, week or even day is a tall order. Flick through the “just in” section of the Android Market and you’ll find stacks of apps you wouldn’t recommend to your worst enemy. And many of the makers even have the nerve to charge you for ‘em. The solution? Our best Android apps of the week, right here. Before we start, search for, download and install Barcode Scanner, then point the Barcode Scanner app at the QR codes on this page to zip straight to the Android Market to install everything listed. Chop chop! Facebook World-famous geek and now infamous social oddball Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg talked in San Francisco this week about Facebook’s future. Soon you’ll be able to geotag virtually everything you do, so that your legions of fans can follow you around, dropping their coats over puddles for you and opening any doors that might stand in your way. The truth, of course, is that no-one cares. Get over yourself already. Just as Z-dog was riffing in his own awkward, and yet kinda smug, way, new Facebook apps hit the App Store and Android Market. Facebook for Android has been the poor cousin to the iPhone version for some time now, but this new edition brings it a fresh set of only-slightly musty hand-me-downs. Groups and Places are in, perfect for segmenting all of your ardent fans into whatever form of segregation you wish, and ensuring Facebook a position as one of the best Android apps. Another android app that hasn’t been anywhere near as up-to-date as its shiny iPhone alternative until now is Twitter. Alongside the Facebook re-vamp, Twitter for Android has been given a good hard kick up the jacksie. The app is now faster, and makes it Read More

Facebook for Android

| FREE | Facebook
November 4, 2010 9:26 am Annoyed by the Facebook Android app? Well, Mark Zuckerberg thinks he knows who to blame and it isn’t Facebook. He says Google is behind the issues with the app. The reason it doesn’t match up to the rather more polished Facebook iPhone app? Google snapped up the developer… Mark Zuckerberg branded Google taking control of the Facebook Android app developer “obnoxious” during yesterday’s Facebook Mobile Event. He explained that the Facebook Android app had been contracted out and Google grabbed the developer before the updates to it were done. Facebook says its now building future updates to the Facebook Android app in house which explains why it’s just had a major overhaul this week. Hit the comments and let us know what you think of the Facebook Android update. Does it finally do the job? Out now | £free | Facebook Electricpig Prime Cuts newsletter: sign up now! Read More

Yahoo! Search for Android

| FREE | Yahoo! Inc.
July 1, 2010 11:01 am Yahoo! has just unleashed two free new Android apps – Yahoo! Mail and Yahoo! Messenger. While they might not be the first choice for Android fans with Gmail and Google Talk integrated into the OS, if you’ve got a Yahoo! account the new apps could be pretty handy. Hop through to find out what features Yahoo! has crammed into its first Android apps… As long as your sporting a phone with Android 2.0 or above, you can grab the Yahoo! Mail and Yahoo! Messenger apps for free from the Android Market right now. But what will you get if you slap the new apps on your Samsung Galaxy S or HTC Desire? The Yahoo! Mail app includes push notifications, lets you send emails using your Yahoo! address book as well as your phone contacts, upload photos and view and download attachments. If you grab the Yahoo! Messenger app too, you can access it from within the Yahoo! Mail app. Like it’s email obsessed compatriot, the Yahoo! Messenger Android app is pretty simple. It’ll let you fling IM messages to your contacts, send photos straight from your camera or the photo gallery and rumble along in the background alerting you to new message with push notifications. It’s nice to see Yahoo! giving Android some love after the news of the big Yahoo! Nokia tie up that emerged a few weeks back. If you’ve grabbed the Yahoo! Mail and Yahoo! Messenger Android apps, hit the comments to let us know what you make of them. Out now | £free | Yahoo! Electricpig Prime Cuts newsletter: sign up now! Read More

The Androids have landed. But fear not, Earthlings, it’s time to embrace our new rulers, not cower as they take all before them in a brutal show of mobile strength. Here are five apps which you can add to your Android phone to give yourself cyborg-style abilities, welcome our robotic overlords and show yourself as being one with the all-conquering Android invasion. Each Android app is available through the Android Market on the Android phone’s application menu. Just tap into it, search for the app, and install it with a quick press of the screen. Layar The Layar Android app lets you see just like your new Android rulers using the power of Augmented Reality. Download it free from Android Market, fire it up and point your Android phone’s camera at something. Layar works as a ‘reality browser’ working on top of your Android’s camera. Scan around and it’ll map the best restaurants, bars, places to hang out and even shops, using GPS and the digital compass inside your Android mobile. This is how Androids see the world, and now you can see like a cyborg too, just like our new extra terrestrial rulers. SpoofApp Androids can change their voices at will. Add the SpoofApp Android app and you can mimic our alien lordships in the same way. Fire it up and choose male or female voice and it’ll tweak the tone of your booming vocal chords into something wholly unrecognisable. Perfect for instilling Android-like fear in non-believers, and you can even use it while bellowing down the phone. Google Sky Map Android phones are out of this world, so get to know their neighbourhood with Google Sky Map. Load it up, point your phone’s camera at the sky and it’ll clue you in on the stars, planets and constellations wherever Read More
