WWDC 2011: iOS 5 To Have Android-Like Notifications, Widgets, BlackBerry-Like Messaging

It looks like that Joshua Topolski of This is my next and the editor in chief of Engadget has got its own iOS 5 and he reveals some of its features. He says iOS 5 will sport BlackBerry-like notifications bar at the top of the screen which looks like an imaged leaked earlier today. “Messages will appear and then slide back up in a unobtrusive manner, similar to webOS”, the author writes.

Topolsky also describes a dedicated notifications window and – yes, widgets. The lock screen will also provide access to notifications “through a pulldown window which you reach by swiping at the top of the screen downward… just like Android”, Topolsky writes.

As for the BlackBerry-style messaging, the source claims that “Apple is readying it’s own MMS / SMS protocol which will be a native part of the phone” and have the ability to “automatically identify iOS users and route the message accordingly”, which is a bit murky, but that’s what the source said.

Star Trek Video Game Announced for Summer 2012 - Kirk and Spock Headline New Co-Op Adventure

Star Trek, a brand new co-op adventure video game under development by Digital Extremes (The Darkness 2), was announced for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PCs for summer 2012. I'm showing great restraint in not leading with "set phasers for fun," but considering the game casts player as Kirk and Spock from the J.J. Abrams Star Trek reboot, I'm very, very giddy to see it at this year's E3 2011.

According to Paramount Digital Entertainment, Star Trek will continue the adventure from the movie, with an original story and "unprecedented co-op experience." The story will revolve around Kirk and Spock working together to stop a legendary enemy race bent on conquering the galaxy. Any bets on which race? I'm going with Tribble, because that would be awesome.

"Star Trek challenges the boundaries of co-op gameplay with a galactic adventure that gamers and fans have never experienced," said Tom Lesinski, President of Paramount Digital Entertainment. "Working closely with the Star Trek filmmaking team throughout development, the game is sure to deliver AAA production values, a wide variety of gameplay and all the action you would expect from the hit franchise. This will be the definitive Star Trek gaming experience."

God of War writer and BAFTA award winner, Marianne Krawczyk, will craft the story for the game, in collaboration with Bob Orci and Alex Kurtzman, the writer/producers of the new Star Trek movies. In a similar spirit, Digital Extremes will be working closely with Bad Robot, K/O Paper Products and Damon Lindelof to insure the game meets a higher standard of Star Trek game than say...err.. this one.

Star Trek is coming for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PCs in summer 2012.

iCloud replaces iTunes for iOS device syncing, doesn’t replace MobileMe?

John Gruber at Daring Fireball has published his thoughts on what’s going down tomorrow with iCloud at WWDC. In short: “Don’t think of iCloud as the new MobileMe; think of iCloud as the new iTunes.” Gruber notes that the iOS syncing process of today requires a user to USB tether their device to their computer in order to sync music, video, apps, etc. iCloud might just be the future of iOS device syncing.

The ideal concept would be that a user can upload all of their media to the cloud, sign into their iOS device, and it will be ready to go.

But in short let’s just think about the ways that iCloud might be a major, dare I say game-changing, step away from USB tethering between iOS devices and iTunes running on your Mac/PC. Consider just the new out-of-box experience. Rather than “Take this out, plug it into your Mac or PC (after first making sure your Mac/PC is running the latest version of iTunes), wait for it to sync before you actually play with it”, you might get something like “Take this out, turn it on, sign into your iTunes account, and start playing with it.”

iOS 5 [Photo]

Just one day before WWDC and the presentation on iOS 5, the media seemingly got a hold of a possible iOS 5 SpringBoard photo and it has gone viral.

TechCrunch posted three hours ago (as of 6/5/2011 10:32 PM PST) a full-blown article and SpringBoard image that gives a little credibility to the possible iOS 5 design. With the 2 mentions of Twitter in the photo, this could be a sign that a newly designed notifications system is true and is a prominent feature in iOS 5. On top of a notifications system, other probable updates include improved voice command, Twitter integration, widgets, and much more.

Although speculation about certain features of iOS 5 have been circulating the news for quite some time, what will be more exciting are those features that have not been mentioned or "leaked" to the public. And coming from the mouth of Grant Paul (@chpwn), for those of us that jailbreak, iOS 5 when released should not hinder advancement in jailbreaking capabilities whatsoever. Depending on the changes in bootrom or userland coding, the jailbreak should be close to the initial release of iOS 5.

New Hard-To-Detect Android Malware Threat On The Loose, Steals User Data, And More called DroidKungFu

If you’re an Android user, you better stay on the lookout for a new form of Android malware: DroidKungFu. Discovered by Assistant Professor Xuxian Jiang and Ph. D. student Yajin Zhou, both from North Carolina State University, this reflects yet another evidence that hackers are interested in this open but also largely unprotected platform.

As explained on the University’s blog, the malware takes advantage of a vulnerability present in Android 2.2 and under. When installed, it opens a backdoor that grants an attacker full access to the phone, and the data on it, essentially turning it into a "bot":

In Android versions 2.2 (Froyo) and earlier, DroidKungFu takes advantage of two vulnerabilities in the platform software to install a backdoor that gives hackers full control of your phone. Not only do they have access to all of your user data, but they can turn your phone into a bot – and basically make your smartphone do anything they want.

Users of later versions of Android are also affected, although to a lesser degree: albeit no full control is possible, some data is still accessible, such as the phone’s mobile phone device ID number, a unique number used by authorities to identify the handheld and block it, in case it gets stolen.

What sets this threat apart from other recently Android threats, like DroidDream, which we reported on last week, is the fact it can’t be detected or removed by common anti-malware software. According to the University’s blog, two leading malware removers were tested and neither of them was able to detect or remove DroidKungFu effectively. The researches at North Carolina State are currently working with anti-malware makers on a fix:

The researchers are currently discussing this problem with leading anti-virus software companies.

This malware is embedded into Android applications found in "more than eight" different Chinese App Stores. While no infected Apps have been found anywhere else, we can’t stress enough that taking standard security precautions is becoming more important than ever on mobile devices: don’t get Apps from sources you’re not familiar with and check for anything shady. Remember that if something doesn’t look right, it probably isn’t.

Even if this piece of malware isn’t detected, it’s also becoming increasingly advisable to get anti-malware software, such as Lookout or AVG Free. Some protection is always better than none.
