For those avid Android gamers, you might be shocked the next time you go to update any emulated game you have purchased. As of a few days ago, Android has pulled all of its emulated games from the market place. After receiving complaints from Sega, Android pulled all games/updates without warning.
As PPCGeek tries to protect it’s users I bring you this important message for Android users. It seems that a company has found over 26 more mal-ware programs in the Android Marketplace. It is suspected of infecting over 100,000 Android users. Lookout Mobile Security made the discovery over the weekend, and believes that the rogue software was likely created by the same persons who created the ‘DroidDream’ malware that was discovered in dozens of Android apps a couple of months back.
The latest rumor in the Apple world seems to be that the next generation of iPhone will be completely SIM-less to accommodate both GSM and CDMA carriers, along with the 3 or 4 antennas so Apple doesn’t have to make two models like they are now for Verizon and AT&T. For CDMA people this is no shock as SIM-less way of life is not that big of an issue…Now for GSM folks, this is HUGE news – as this means that Apple will have to make an e-SIM that is stored in the devices memory. This could be a huge security issue if your phone was lost or stolen.

This past Thursday, Google unleashed their new mobile wallet platform and completed field tests in New York and San Francisco. This new platform, (a rehash of the older Google Checkout) will allow people with certain NFC phones, to pay for merchandise in retail shops by tapping their phones against a payment terminal. Does this seem …
You could take away buttons and add more screen real estate, which to some people, wouldn’t make sense because a larger screen is much more expensive than putting in a few buttons. Therefore, from a manufacturing standpoint, it’s either take away the buttons and just have a smaller device, or keep the buttons and have a slightly larger device. We’ll see what they choose, but the leaked photo seems to have me believing that Ice Cream will be bringing devices with full frontal displays. With tablets beginning to flood the market, larger screens seem to be the way things are headed. What are your thoughts on this approach? Do you think this is the long awaited, rumored Nexus 3?

As they say, straight from the horse’s mouth, Peter Chou, CEO of HTC has made an official statement that they will no longer be locking bootloaders on their phones. This announcement came on their Facebook page. There’s no word if this will effect the upcoming Evo 3D, or just for their future phones. We’re hoping they’ll unlock the Evo 3D’s bootloader though, even if its after launch. Do you think Motorola will follow suit?
(Image: HTC.com) Though the sad realization of a locked bootloader is around the corner, there is a silver lining! According to our Forum Users, June 4th appears to be the rumored day that the Upcoming Android Sequel to the EVO 4G, the EVO 3D, is slated to release. According to their super hive-mind sleuthing powers, the users …
