Is this the Samsung Galaxy S II Plus?



Not even a few hours ago we reported that Samsung may be about to announce the Galaxy S Plus II at MWC. Thank you to a given peak by Eldar Murtazin (editor of Mobile-Review) at least people in Mobile who may have featured the appearance of the Galaxy S Plus II. No guesses there, this device is reminiscent of the Galaxy S II, as the Galaxy S looked more like the original Galaxy S. Of some details that we gathered in the day, we can only say that this smartphone will feature a 1.5 GHz dual-core processor and should display a 800 × 480 pixels display resolution. For more on this handset we might have to wait until the beginning of the MMC unless Samsung becomes a Leaky Cauldron and gives us all the details we need to advance. History has it, most devices to come by a majority of sellers have fled just before major events such as the CMM. Fingers crossed!



Earlier today, less than six hours ago, in fact, we filed a report saying that Samsung would announce a device at Mobile World Congress later this month called the Galaxy S Plus II. Now, with a tweet from Eldar Murtazin, editor of Mobile-Review, we now know that the device looks like. As you can see in the picture below is about the Galaxy S II we all know and love, except on-screen buttons that Ice Cream Sandwich are no longer on screen, they are instead capacitive buttons where you expect to be on any Android smartphone. We can not say with certainty what the exact specifications are II, the Galaxy S Plus, but from the data we have for us, we think it has a screen of 800 x 480 resolution, processor 1.5 GHz dual core, and that's about it. No idea on the camera for shutter bugs you there.

Some of you may be asking yourself what the hell is withSamsung? Yesterday they announced that they will not make the Galaxy S III Mobile World Congress, instead they will host their own even later in the year to do it, and now a picture of this thingis? Samsung has done more than enough units Galaxy S II they probably found a way to get them for less money. This will be the case this thing can potentially be a huge success. In addition,they can announce that the Galaxy S II Plus works Sandwich ice cream. Assuming it lands on store shelves shortly after it wasannounced, it is an incredibly compelling selling point since theonly other device on the market that works Galaxy ICS is the Nexus, which again, is made by Samsung. Talk about a win-win situation!


Performance Review of Maruti Suzuki-Swift Dzire 2012


Under the hood of the new Swift DZire, you have the same engines as the sedan Swift Current power. Therefore the option of gasoline is in the shape of the 1,2-liter engine K-series that puts to 87 PS of the power of a 114 Nm of torque. The diesel variants get the 1.3-liter Multijet Fiat engine, which produces 75 bhp power and 190 Nm of torque. The car you see in the pictures is the top diesel variant of the line, the ZDI. The engine feels breathless under 1,800 RPM, but at this mark of the punch is as good as the Swift, thanks to the turbocharger.

The new DZire has a softer suspension setup compared to the new Swift - who is understood from this sedan will be purchased for comfort and luxury of sporty handling. So what you get is a smooth ride over bumps and potholes with the compromise being a generous amount of body roll when cornering and curves. The Swift DZire soon was known to emit a lot of screaming and thuds after the car was old - it will be interesting to see how the new rates now that a quality plastic has also increased.

conclusion:


With a price tag from Rs 4.79 lakh-for the basic variant LXi and all the way up to Rs 7.09 lakh for the top-of-line ZDI variant (at the time of writing this opinion) Maruti Suzuki spent on the tax benefit for the customer. Each variant of the new DZire is cheaper by almost Rs 15,000 compared to its respective counterpart in the old line-up DZire.

So if you think about it, Maruti Suzuki has not only passed on the cost-benefit to the customer, they also gave a list of best function to line-up DZire compared to the previous model. With such a competitive price, the new DZire will not only more bucket loads of cash in circulation to the manufacturer, it will, it is also more sleepless nights to its competitors like the Toyota Etios, Mahindra and Tata Verito Indigo CS - the car that kick started the revolution compact sedan!

Google ‘Bouncer’ service to Bounce malware out of Android Market


In recent days Android malware problem or lack of washing hasmonopolized the scene as various vendors security suite showederrors of the ecosystem. Google has developed an appropriate response to the fuss is all in the form of a malware scanning application code-named "Bouncer". Just yesterday, I wrote thatGoogle should take the lead in cleaning up the Android Marketmalware, and here we are with "Bouncer". Google Bouncerclaims it can scan the marketplace for malware and remove themwithout affecting the user experience. Developers will just need tomanage their applications through an approval process minor,where the application will be scanned for all kinds of malware.

According to VP of Engineering Android, Hiroshi Lockheimer,Bouncer can scan for Trojans and spyware recently uploaded any conduct surveillance at the same time suspicious app, which could trigger a red flag. The service also runs simulations of eachapplication on Google state of the art, cloud infrastructure and isa regular tab on the accounts of developers.

Lockheimer also mentioned that, contrary to all recent reports ofAndroid malware, the malware problem has fallen 40% in the first and second halves of 2011. Other than that, he said other security features of the platform that make it resistant against malicious software.

Android and Security:

The past year has been phenomenal for the Android ecosystem.Activations of devices has increased 250% year on year, and the total number of downloads from the Android Market app top 11 billion. As the platform continues to grow, we focused on Aore bring you the best new features and innovations, including security.

Adding another layer of security for Android
Today we, Aore revealing a service that we, Äôve developed Bouncer code name, which provides automated scanning of the Market for potentially malicious software without disrupting the user experience of Android Market or by requiring developers go through an approval process requests.

The department conducts a series of tests on new applications, applications already in the Market, and the accounts of developers. Here, OSA's how it works: once an application is downloaded, the service starts immediately analyzing malware, spyware and trojans known. It also looks for behaviors that indicate an application can be bad behavior, and compares it to applications previously analyzed to detect any red flags. We actually run all applications on Google, OSA cloud infrastructure and simulate how it will work on an Android device to find hidden malicious behavior. We also analyze the accounts of new developers to help prevent malicious developers and repeat offending again.

Android downloads malware are down
The service was looking for malicious applications on the market for a while now, and between the first and second halves of 2011, we saw a 40% decrease in the number of potentially malicious downloads on Android Market. This decline occurred at the same time that companies who market and sell anti-malware and security software reported that malicious applications are increasing. Although he, OSA not possible to prevent the evil malware building, the most important measure is whether these applications are installed from Android Market bad - and we know that the rate is decreased significantly.

Android malware is less powerful
In addition to using new services to help prevent malicious software, we developed Android from the beginning to the mobile malware less disruptive. In the PC model, malware has more potential to misuse your information. We learned from this approach, the design for Android Internet-connected devices.Some of Android, AOS basic security features are:

  • Sandboxing: The Android platform uses a technique called “sandboxing” to put virtual walls between applications and other software on the device. So, if you download a malicious application, it can't access data on other parts of your phone and its potential harm is drastically limited.
  • Permissions: Android provides a permission system to help you understand the capabilities of the apps you install, and manage your own preferences. That way, if you see a game unnecessarily requests permission to send SMS, for example, you don’t need to install it.
  • Malware removal: Android is designed to prevent malware from modifying the platform or hiding from you, so it can be easily removed if your device is affected. Android Market also has the capability of remotely removing malware
No security approach is foolproof, and added scrutiny can often lead to important improvements. Our systems are getting better at detecting and eliminating malware every day, and we continue to invite the community to work with us to keep Android safe.
