Android Icecream Sandwich leaked!

The much awaited version of android 'Icecream Sandwich' seems to have leaked through a Samsung mobile that got sold over ebay. The claim is done by a customer who had purchased the Samsung Nexus phone through ebay and this came pre-loaded with the latest android OS. The customer had took several photos and also uploaded videos of the menu and other features of the new OS. 

The incident was reported on Engadget, the new OS does show a lot of similar features to Honeycomb OS, dedicated to the tablet PC's and the Gingerbread version of the OS. Reports suggest that new features include a Movie Studio app, an app called "People," which is said to be a "Contacts" update and "Backup" and "Reset" options. The OS will also reportedly pack a revamped look for notification bar, camera UI and other menus. There are also speculations that the OS will feature four shortcuts on the bottom in contrast to two found on vanilla 2.3.

The new version of Android seems to be a mix of both tablet PC and mobile and might be a universal version of the OS. The preview of the OS was shown in May, at the Google I/O conference. Recently the chairman of Google, Eric Schmidt at Salesforce.com's Dreamforce conference revealed that the Icecream Sandwich release of Android OS will be on October or November.

We are expecting the release to be done in October 11 when Samsung will be hosting the ceremony "Samsung Mobile Unpacked: Google Episode' to release its latest version of Nexus Smartphones.

NEW DELHI : All those 'droid' users who felt like they were above any hacks n flaws be better careful with the installation of device as there has been two new reports of android flaws which might even cause you to loose control of your device and hacker should be able to send out messages or calls to all premium and contact numbers. 


According to researchers Jon Oberheide and Zach Lanier, the first flaw, which affects all Android devices regardless of OS version, allows the installation of applications without users' approval. Considered as "permission escalation vulnerability," it affects all Android handsets regardless of the OS version.


Another vulnerability is with the Samsung Nexus S handsets. It allows hackers to gain root access and then gain full control over the handset. 


Over the past few months, there have also been several reports of Android phone users being hit with malware that sends text messages, makes calls to premium numbers and leaks personal information about the user. 


Earlier in August, CA researcher Dinesh Venkatesan revealed information about an Android trojan that was reportedly capable of recording conversation.
