Since a impulse he denounced a iPhone, Apple commander Steve Jobs has criminialized porn upon it. Thank goodness.

As with each alternative action of prohibition, Jobs’ anathema upon adult apps for a device has sparked a origination of a colourful black marketplace in which sedulous (or insane) users risk destroying their iPhones to overrule a local handling system, as well as developers work in solid steer to set up adult-themed applications which they discharge by channels not authorized by Apple.

When BlackBerry users in the United Arab Emirates were urged to download what they thought was a routine software upgrade, they had no idea that by doing so they were installing a surveillance program that gives the state-controlled service provider Etisalat unfettered access to their personal mobile devices.

After finding out, over half of Etisalat’s customers, many of whom conduct sensitive business on their BlackBerrys, say they intend to cancel their contracts immediately, according to a poll conducted by Arabian Business and published by local tech-news website itp.net, which has been following the story closely.

The spyware was traced to SS8, an American company specializing in what it calls “lawful interception.”

On Tuesday, the Canadian company that makes BlackBerry issued a statement denying any connection to the bugged application.

“Independent sources have concluded that the Etisalat update is not designed to improve performance of your BlackBerry, but rather to send received messages back to a central server,” the statement read.

The UAE includes the boomtown city-state of Dubai, which has sought to attract major foreign companies with infrastructure and tax incentives, but continues to struggle with concerns over transparency and workers’ rights. The scandal could damage Dubai’s reputation as a secure and business-friendly corporate haven.

Investigations by local programmers have revealed that once installed, the application allows Etisalat to activate the spyware from its servers, granting the company access to e-mail, text messages and stored personal and contact information.

Ironically, it was Etistalat’s own blunder that led to the discovery of the alleged breach of privacy. So many people rushed to install the patch that the servers were overwhelmed, leading to unusual battery drain that aroused the curiosity of BlackBerry-toting techies.

“The interesting thing is that no one would have known about it if they’d set up the registration server correctly,” Nigel Gourlay, a Doha, Qatar-based programmer who analyzed the application, told itp.net.

“I think that this whole system has been designed for law enforcement agencies to be deployed on a few dozen suspects’ BlackBerry devices,” he added. Meris Lutz – Beirut.latimes

Google’s Android operating system is also gaining traction, passing Windows Mobile for the first time, according to data from AdMob.

Apple’s iPhone and iPod Touch continue to be the platform of choice for mobile Web users, but the Google (NSDQ: GOOG)-backed Android is picking up steam, according to data from AdMob.

In its monthly “Mobile Metrics” report, AdMob analyzed what handsets and operating systems were using the most mobile data for June. While it is not a comprehensive report of the industry because it only measures Web sites and applications that use AdMob’s advertising network, it does give some insight into mobile Web usage.

Q : Can I play music from my PC’s iTunes library on my BlackBerry?

A : If you don’t want to get third-party software, the BlackBerry Web site hosts a free program called BlackBerry MediaSync lets you transfer music from your iTunes or Windows Media Player library onto the smartphone. Older iTunes Store files with copy protection won’t play, though. BlackBerry MediaSync works with Windows and Mac OS X systems and you can download it here

Click the Support tab on the MediaSync page to see the instructions for setting up the software and using it to move over music from the computer. You basically have to install the program, connect the BlackBerry to the computer with its USB cable, give your BlackBerry a name and then designate where on the device you want to store the music files.

Once you get it set up, you can transfer songs and playlists over to the BlackBerry. The MediaSync page also has a video that demonstrates the process.

It’s always so nice when Google and Apple work together instead of fighting. Today Google released Google Latitude for the iPhone and iPod touch. In true Google fashion they’ve made it a browser-based app; Latitude launches in Safari.

In a nutshell, Google Latitude allows your friends to see exactly where you are at any given time and, if they have Google Latitude enabled, vice versa. If you get creeped out at the idea of all of your friends and loved ones knowing your position every hour of every day, don’t fret. Latitude has privacy settings, which allow you to decide how your location is shared, when it’s shared, and with whom it is shared.

Also, since the iPhone supports W3C Geolocation API, Google’s been able to include some search and direction functions into the app. You can press the blue dot and it will take you to your location on the map. From there, you can plug in directions and figure out how to get from where you are, to where you need to be.

All you have to do to test out Latitude is type, “google.com/latitude” into your iPhone browser. Since there’s no real way for apps to run in the background on the iPhone, Latitude won’t be able to give constant location updates for iPhone users like it does for other mobile users. You can’t get everything you want, but this is still a sweet app. i4u
