Now you can experience the Apple Watch an Android smartphone – TeK.sapo

The application can be viewed as a joke by the Underside programmers, but there is more history behind the experience. The company wanted to take advantage of their knowledge in developing mobile applications with augmented reality, creating an application for the iPhone, but after repeated refusals to submission, decided to put the app on your website and follow the tried Google’s store that was more “comprehensive”.
  
 

While the application was available for Safari, from the company’s website, has been downloaded more than 50,000 times. Now can only be used on Android.
 
 
  
 

To use effectively ARWatch you must first download a PDF, print and cut the image of the clock. After the application will use the phone’s camera to reproduce Apple Watch the image on the user’s pulse and change color, but little else.
 

While the Apple Watch does not begin to be sold in the first markets, which happens to April 10, this will be a different way to experience the clock without having to go through a store.
 

But as with other cases of augmented reality, can not be said that the feeling is the same …
 

The app can be downloaded free at Google Play store, but you have to add the costs to print and cut the model.

Windows 10 can emulate Android applications, but this will be … – Tudocelular.com

There is no need to say that the shortage in the Microsoft app store is its “Achilles heel” when it comes to their presence in the smartphone market. It has been announced that the App Store has reached the milestone of 1.3 million applications and the Play Store ended 2014 with 1:43 million application catalog , while the Windows Store has reached half a million.

Several sources are claiming that Microsoft is intending to emulate Android applications on Windows 10 . This same strategy was used in the BlackBerry 10 to solve the problem of scarcity in your store, even with an agreement with Amazon to be the official channel of distribution of Android apps. It is an action that may favor users who are afraid of moving platform due to the fact applications for various services are not available for OS from Redmond.

Also would be a comfortable solution for developers who prefer to clearly focus their efforts on Android and iOS. But if this will also be an advantage for Microsoft long-term own , is another reason for speculation.

We have followed the company’s aggressive efforts to make Windows 10 a system competitor, including the unification of platforms and technologies that will easier for developers to write applications that run on all supported platforms, including desktops, tablets and phones. It is a new attempt that could encourage developers to support Windows with native apps.

Considering this, if we really emulated Android applications on Windows 10, it may, as a side effect, dilute efforts to attract developers to the platform and surtir the opposite effect. After all, why develop native apps for Windows if they will be available from those that are written for Android, anyway?

Of course it’s too early to tell what will happen, or if the company already have some solution to this potential trap that they may fall, if we really see the applications of Play Store emulated.

In this regard, it remains to wait for the next builds, which should arrive in April.

With the arrival of Android Lollipop , Samsung showed that gave out on top when it comes to updating their devices, as which released the new version of the operating system for several of its line devices such as the Galaxy S4, S5 Galaxy, Galaxy Note and Galaxy Note 3 4, for example.

The problem, however, is that Google has released a newer version of Android Lollipop, the version 5.1 , and so far there are no plans of Korean company to update their devices to the latest version of the platform, according to internal sources of Samsung.

For now Samsung is only working to the version 5.0.2 for your devices, which may be an indication that their handsets launched in 2013 and 2014 will no longer receive future updates .

On the other hand, the 5.1 version is still very recent , and maybe that’s why the Korean company has not yet started working on their availability to consumers, ie, there is no need if their smartphones will be or not upgraded to Android 5.1 Lollipop.

Thus, we have expect the coming months to see if Samsung announces any news related to the subject, since so far the company executives did not comment on the matter .

Security hole in Android allows you to install apps that steal … – Exame Informática

This vulnerability was discovered by researchers at the Palo Alto Networks and only works when the apps are downloaded from another store than Google Play or when the user clicks a reference to a promotion for apps advertising.

This malware takes advantage of the fact that the affected devices do not check the app that will use is the same for which the user has permissions during installation. In other words, vulnerability exploits a flaw in the way the system install apps, reveals the Ars Technica .

One way to exploit this vulnerability is to use a seemingly benign app to install malware , and another is to mask the true permissions that the app needs. In both cases, users may end up installing apps that are quite different from those approved during the process of permissions.

The vulnerability has been fixed in the updated version 4.3 of Android. However, according to figures provided by Google, 49.9% of the devices with the operating system of the company existing on the planet have earlier versions, so still susceptible to this malware. For these cases, the Palo Alto Networks recommends using only the Google Play to download apps.
