It’s named “Trojan-SMS.AndroidOS.FakePlayer.a” and disguise itself as legit Android application in form of a media player.<br />
<br />
This, again shows how important it is to have some sort of control of the applications allowed onto a consumer device that is so heavily relied on as a phone is<br />
<br />
Kaspersky writes:<br />
“The new malicious program penetrates smartphones running Android in the guise of a harmless media player application. Users are prompted to install a file of just over 13 KB with the standard Android extension .APK. Once installed on the phone, the Trojan uses the system to begin sending SMSs to premium rate numbers without the owner’s knowledge or consent, resulting in money passing from a user’s account to that of the cyber criminals.”NotifyLink in Canadahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17910249836161585035noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5753158164276648257.post-33028110800976305712010-08-09T13:16:00.002-06:002010-08-09T13:16:34.736-06:00Wireless email "The most important business tool"<p><strong><a href='http://www.tiqy.com/wireless/wireless-email-solutions-becoming-the-most-important-business-tool/'><b>Wireless Email</b> Solutions Becoming the Most Important Business Tool</a></strong></p><p>Among all the useful business tools that are available today, <b>wireless email</b> solutions has become the most important because today's business is very fast paced, confusing and huge.

So many promises yet nothing of any real substance to make the iPhone a "contender" in the enterprise space.<br /><br />Oh sure, adopting Microsoft's ActiveSync was a smart move, but to take credit for "exposing some hidden features" like business policies is, uhm, blowing your own horn a little too much for my liking. The iPhone is still so far behind the BlackBerry, one doubts they will ever really catch up. There's no way the worlds most popular smartphone manufacturer is going to sit on their hands and watch while iPhone hypes up their second rate business phone.<br /><br />Don't get me wrong, I like the changes the iPhone has brought to the market. But do any of you really consider "automatic software updates" to be a leap in technology? It's sounds really cool that they've sold 800,000 software applications, but aren't a lot of them only a few dollars? Unless you were one of the 7 or 9 idiots who bought the "I am rich" "application" for $1000 only to find out it was just a screen saver, you're not helping change the course of smartphone history. Besides, who'd really want to be remembered as one of the nine dumbest people on earth who would pay $1000 for a screen saver...while there are thousands of starving children that could really use a nice screen saver!<br /><br />The only thing that iPhone 3.0 shows us is that with the right amount of hype, you can make people believe almost anything.<br /><br />BlackBerry wins again!NotifyLink in Canadahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17910249836161585035noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5753158164276648257.post-13687642683124261152009-03-16T05:41:00.004-06:002009-03-16T05:47:18.250-06:00NotifyLink v4.6 now released<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_QzV_suSAD60/Sb48PUZZfzI/AAAAAAAAANo/oTSHo-QnLdk/s1600-h/Notify-logo-jpg.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5313750844214705970" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 108px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_QzV_suSAD60/Sb48PUZZfzI/AAAAAAAAANo/oTSHo-QnLdk/s320/Notify-logo-jpg.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_QzV_suSAD60/Sb48Hv9pTqI/AAAAAAAAANg/04FLW5qaw9s/s1600-h/notify-logo-pipline.jpg"></a><br /><br /><div>Notify Technology has announced the release of their NotifyLink v4.6 server software.

Exchange ActiveSync is a communication protocol that provides wireless push email, calendar, contacts and task synchronization. Exchange ActiveSync is available on all Windows Mobile-based devices and Exchange ActiveSync-enabled devices offered through Microsoft partners like Apple, Palm, and Nokia. Notify has incorporated the Exchange ActiveSync protocol into its NotifyLink and just recently announced NotifySync™ for BlackBerry™ product. The new NotifySync product is targeted at providing BlackBerry users a simple direct connect that provides wireless push email, calendar, contacts and task synchronization to those email platforms such as the Microsoft Exchange Server, the Kerio MailServer, the Zimbra Collaboration Suite, and the CommuniGate Pro Server platform which all utilize the Exchange ActiveSync protocol technology as their primary mobility interface.<br /><br />“Increasingly, people depend on their mobile phones for anywhere, anytime access to digital information while on the move,” said Craig Shank, general manager of interoperability for Microsoft Corp. “This is where creating interoperability between mobile platforms comes to play. We’re pleased that Notify’s licensing of the intellectual property rights to use the Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync protocols in its NotifySync product will open up new opportunities for BlackBerry consumers.”<br /><br />“We are excited to publicly announce our licensing of Microsoft’s Exchange ActiveSync Protocol used by our NotifyLink and NotifySync products. We would like to thank Microsoft for the opportunity they have given us in licensing their intellectual property to create exciting new products for the mobility market,” said Paul DePond, President and Founder of Notify Technology. “Over the past year, our email collaboration suite partners, who have incorporated Exchange ActiveSync for their mobility solution, have been giving us a loud and clear message of their need of an ActiveSync solution for their mobile users who only want to use a BlackBerry.”NotifyLink in Canadahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17910249836161585035noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5753158164276648257.post-40389821770990985952009-02-26T15:17:00.002-07:002009-02-26T15:17:56.283-07:00Notify Technology Announces NotifySync™ For BlackBerry ™SAN JOSE, CA – February 24, 2009 – Notify Technology Corporation (OTC BB NTFY), today announced the availability of NotifySync™ for BlackBerry™ which incorporates Microsoft’s Exchange ActiveSync protocol technology. The NotifySync product is targeted at providing BlackBerry users a simple direct connect solution that provides wireless direct push email, calendar, contacts and task synchronization to those email platforms who offer the Exchange ActiveSync protocol technology as their primary mobility interface such as the Microsoft Exchange Server, the Kerio MailServer, the Zimbra Collaboration Suite, and the CommuniGate Pro Server. The NotifySync for BlackBerry solution is a downloadable application which provides BlackBerry users with a new email box while interfacing to the native Blackberry calendar, address book and task applications. NotifySync is simple to provision as it requires the exact information as any ActiveSync mobile device requires today. The NotifySync for BlackBerry solution does not require the use of any middleware since it directly communicates with the email platform’s ActiveSync interface. The NotifySync product supports all commercial cellular data networks as well as all 802.11x Wi-Fi networks.<br /><br />“We are excited to publicly announce our NotifySync for BlackBerry product. It will provide users in organizations and businesses of all sizes that have standardized on ActiveSync as their mobility interface a BlackBerry solution.” said Paul DePond, President and Founder of Notify Technology. “NotifySync provides users with a Blackberry alternative solution where in the past they were limited to primarily a Windows Mobile, Palm, or Apple wireless device.”<br /><br />NotifySync For BlackBerry<br />The NotifySync for Blackberry solution is ideal for organizations or businesses that require ActiveSync for their mobility solution such as the Microsoft Exchange Server, the Kerio MailServer, the Zimbra Collaboration Suite, and the CommuniGate Pro Server. NotifySync for BlackBerry provides full wireless push email and PIM synchronization and supports global address lookup. In addition, the NotifySync product supports SSL connectivity and remote device wipe in case the BlackBerry is lost or stolen.NotifyLink in Canadahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17910249836161585035noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5753158164276648257.post-79748729129468505902009-02-11T13:44:00.003-07:002009-02-11T14:19:49.688-07:00Time flies<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_QzV_suSAD60/SZNA6xEuJAI/AAAAAAAAANY/V2puuvdb-Js/s1600-h/NotifySync_Logo.gif"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5301652564694934530" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 100px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 100px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_QzV_suSAD60/SZNA6xEuJAI/AAAAAAAAANY/V2puuvdb-Js/s320/NotifySync_Logo.gif" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Wow...it's been far too long since we brought you any new information about Notify Technology and their products.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>NotifySync for BlackBerry has been introduced and is selling like crazy!

Microsoft has done an "adequate" job with Active Sync and both platform providers and third-party developers are flocking to fill consumer needs, using AS.<br /><br />This fact is a good thing. NotifySync will allow BlackBerry users to connect directly to Exchange, Zimbra, Kerio and Communigate mail servers, using this economical connection strategy. By design NotifySync cannot compete in management performance with NotifyLink, however a huge part of the market is telling Notify Technology it wants an AS client for the BB.<br /><br />If you want to learn more about the differences between the two products, drop us a line.NotifyLink in Canadahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17910249836161585035noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5753158164276648257.post-67774180201044720632008-12-17T07:45:00.002-07:002008-12-17T07:49:39.811-07:00Novell BrainShare 2009 CANCELLED !This is the biggest news to hit the IT world in...a week?

These days, your project better deliver either cost savings or increased profits or you probably won't get approval for funding. The logic applies right down to the family level who create small mobility projects of their own.<br /><br />Mobile technology can save you money when the right products are applied to the process being mobilized. Remembering that a successful mobile program is an equation of mulitple parts, if you're careful you can economize to the point of eliminating some costs entirely by selecting the right products and services. How can you eliminate costs entirely? By choosing the right products and services as the components of your overall mobility equation. The right products are those that give you the most flexibility in choosing the remaining components like devices, service plans and even groupware choices. Flexibility will give you agility in the deployment of your overall mobile program.<br /><br />Competion among device manufacturers and wireless carriers can work to your advantage if you're not locked into any single program under long term contract. With the pace of change in the wireless industry, long term should be considered to be about 60 days! You can rest assured if you don't like things today...wait a week and there'll be changes.<br /><br />So once you've selected the right components you should find that some choices actually pay for others so your mobility program enjoys an increased ROI sooner and longer.NotifyLink in Canadahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17910249836161585035noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5753158164276648257.post-10513895627768671452008-12-01T09:01:00.002-07:002008-12-01T09:12:07.436-07:00Mobile web slow adoptionMobile Web can be defined as the optimization of application code for small screen input and delivery. Small screen referring to the average PDA ( 240x260).<br /><br />We've been promised all kinds of interaction with the world through our all conquering BlackBerrys and iPhones. I don't know about you, but I'm just now starting to enjoy the benefits of this technology.<br /><br />I checked in for a return flight from Amsterdam to Edmonton using my BlackBerry and it could not have been smoother. It was an error free process perfectly suited to my tiny screen. The navigation worked intuitively and I was provided with a confirmation number for check in. At the airport, they FOUND my online registration and confirmation, printed my boarding passes and whisked me away to my destination. As jaded as I am...I was impressed.<br /><br />Congratulations to Air Canada and their mobile web experience!

Sony Ericsson introduces their beautiful new Xperia SmartPhone at a price of $800 USD with no subsidies available from any carrier.</div><div> </div><div>The Symbian operating system has not proven as popular as developers had hoped with the main players BlackBerry and Windows Mobile holding their own. Newcomer, Apple has also eaten up a big chunk of the pie that once belonged almost exclusively to BB and WM.</div><div> </div><div>Meanwhile Sony Ericsson and giant Nokia, stumble along trying to crack the North American market for SmartPhone PDA's. There's no logic to their lack of sales as their devices are top-notch in every category. The Symbian OS is mature and stable but they just can't seem to get the carriers on side, to support sales with subsription incentives (subsidies).</div><div> </div><div>There are some great choices out there among ultra-light computers that with the addition of an "Internet stick", give users their entire desktop, anywhere they go. The real factor that seems to determine who prefers what device for which activity is user input. Until voice recognition enters the mobile space, keyboards either virtual or physical are going to remain the input mode of choice. Leaving consumers...with an ever increasing variety in choices.</div>NotifyLink in Canadahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17910249836161585035noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5753158164276648257.post-15915883323524486442008-11-11T12:28:00.002-07:002008-11-11T12:35:59.242-07:00Canadians check your data plan rate!Our readers in Canada should be aware that data rates are changing dramatically. You can't blame them, but you'll need to reach out to your wireless carrier to learn about the newest data plan rates.<br /><br />Not only are rates dropping like a stone off a cliff, but the amount of data allowed is also increasing exponentially! My own plan with Rogers went from $90 a month for 250 minutes of voice and 25 MB of data...to 550 minutes of voice and 1 GB of data...for only $70 a month.<br /><br />Telus just announced an "unlimited personal email, text and web" plan for only $30 per month.<br /><br />No more overages in data will save you a fortune.
