Wall Street Journal Investigation Finds Android and iphone Apps Transferring Private Data without user knowledge. Go here to know the behaviour of some 101 Popular Apps For transmitting different type of data http://blogs.wsj.com/wtk-mobile/ Few devices know more personal details about people than the smartphones in their pockets: phone numbers, current location, often the owner's real name—even a unique ID number that can never be changed or turned off. These phones don't keep secrets. They are sharing this personal data widely and regularly, a Wall Street Journal investigation has found. An examination of 101 popular smartphone "apps"—games and other software applications for iPhone and Android phones—showed that 56 transmitted the phone's unique device ID to other companies without users' awareness or consent. Forty-seven apps transmitted the phone's location in some way. Five sent age, gender and other personal details to outsiders. The findings reveal the intrusive effort by online-tracking companies to gather personal data about people in order to flesh out detailed dossiers on them. Among the apps tested, the iPhone apps transmitted more data than the apps on phones using Google Inc.'s Android operating system. Because of the test's size, it's not known if the pattern holds among the hundreds of thousands of apps available. Apps sharing the most information included TextPlus 4, a popular iPhone app for text messaging. It sent the phone's unique ID number to eight ad companies and the phone's zip code, along with the user's age and gender, to two of them. Both the Android and iPhone versions of Pandora, a popular music app, sent age, gender, location and phone identifiers to various ad networks. iPhone and Android versions of a game called Paper Toss—players try to throw paper wads into a trash can—each sent the phone's ID number to at least five ad companies. Grindr, an iPhone app for meeting gay men, sent gender, location and phone ID to three ad companies. "In the world of mobile, there is no anonymity," says Michael Becker of the Mobile Marketing Association, an industry trade group. A cellphone is "always with us. It's always on." iPhone maker Apple Inc. says it reviews each app before offering it to users. Both Apple and Google say they protect users by requiring apps to obtain permission before revealing certain kinds of information, such as location. "We have created strong privacy protections for our customers, especially regarding location-based data," says Apple spokesman Tom Neumayr. "Privacy and trust are vitally important." The Journal found that these rules can be skirted. One iPhone app, Pumpkin Maker (a pumpkin-carving game), transmits location to an ad network without asking permission. Apple declines to comment on whether the app violated its rules. Smartphone users are all but powerless to limit the tracking. With few exceptions, app users can't "opt out" of phone tracking, as is possible, in limited form, on regular computers. On computers it is also possible to block or delete "cookies," which are tiny tracking files. These techniques generally don't work on cellphone apps. The makers of TextPlus 4, Pandora and Grindr say the data they pass on to outside firms isn't linked to an individual's name. Personal details such as age and gender are volunteered by users, they say. The maker of Pumpkin Maker says he didn't know Apple required apps to seek user approval before transmitting location. The maker of Paper Toss didn't respond to requests for comment. Many apps don't offer even a basic form of consumer protection: written privacy policies. Forty-five of the 101 apps didn't provide privacy policies on their websites or inside the apps at the time of testing. Neither Apple nor Google requires app privacy policies. To expose the information being shared by smartphone apps, the Journal designed a system to intercept and record the data they transmit, then decoded the data stream. The research covered 50 iPhone apps and 50 on phones using Google's Android operating system. (Methodology at WSJ.com/WTK.) The Journal also tested its own iPhone app; it didn't send information to outsiders. The Journal doesn't have an Android phone app. Among all apps tested, the most widely shared detail was the unique ID number assigned to every phone. It is effectively a "supercookie," says Vishal Gurbuxani, co-founder of Mobclix Inc., an exchange for mobile advertisers. On iPhones, this number is the "UDID," or Unique Device Identifier. Android IDs go by other names. These IDs are set by phone makers, carriers or makers of the operating system, and typically can't be blocked or deleted. "The great thing about mobile is you can't clear a UDID like you can a cookie," says Meghan O'Holleran of Traffic Marketplace, an Internet ad network that is expanding into mobile apps. "That's how we track everything." Ms. O'Holleran says Traffic Marketplace, a unit of Epic Media Group, monitors smartphone users whenever it can. "We watch what apps you download, how frequently you use them, how much time you spend on them, how deep into the app you go," she says. She says the data is aggregated and not linked to an individual. The main companies setting ground rules for app data-gathering have big stakes in the ad business. The two most popular platforms for new U.S. smartphones are Apple's iPhone and Google's Android. Google and Apple also run the two biggest services, by revenue, for putting ads on mobile phones. Apple and Google ad networks let advertisers target groups of users. Both companies say they don't track individuals based on the way they use apps. Apple limits what can be installed on an iPhone by requiring iPhone apps to be offered exclusively through its App Store. Apple reviews those apps for function, offensiveness and other criteria. Apple says iPhone apps "cannot transmit data about a user without obtaining the user's prior permission and providing the user with access to information about how and where the data will be used." Many apps tested by the Journal appeared to violate that rule, by sending a user's location to ad networks, without informing users. Apple declines to discuss how it interprets or enforces the policy. Phones running Google's Android operating system are made by companies including Motorola Inc. and Samsung Electronics Co. Google doesn't review the apps, which can be downloaded from many vendors. Google says app makers "bear the responsibility for how they handle user information." Google requires Android apps to notify users, before they download the app, of the data sources the app intends to access. Possible sources include the phone's camera, memory, contact list, and more than 100 others. If users don't like what a particular app wants to access, they can choose not to install the app, Google says. "Our focus is making sure that users have control over what apps they install, and notice of what information the app accesses," a Google spokesman says. Neither Apple nor Google requires apps to ask permission to access some forms of the device ID, or to send it to outsiders. When smartphone users let an app see their location, apps generally don't disclose if they will pass the location to ad companies. Lack of standard practices means different companies treat the same information differently. For example, Apple says that, internally, it treats the iPhone's UDID as "personally identifiable information." That's because, Apple says, it can be combined with other personal details about people—such as names or email addresses—that Apple has via the App Store or its iTunes music services. By contrast, Google and most app makers don't consider device IDs to be identifying information. A growing industry is assembling this data into profiles of cellphone users. Mobclix, the ad exchange, matches more than 25 ad networks with some 15,000 apps seeking advertisers. The Palo Alto, Calif., company collects phone IDs, encodes them (to obscure the number), and assigns them to interest categories based on what apps people download and how much time they spend using an app, among other factors. By tracking a phone's location, Mobclix also makes a "best guess" of where a person lives, says Mr. Gurbuxani, the Mobclix executive. Mobclix then matches that location with spending and demographic data from Nielsen Co. In roughly a quarter-second, Mobclix can place a user in one of 150 "segments" it offers to advertisers, from "green enthusiasts" to "soccer moms." For example, "die hard gamers" are 15-to-25-year-old males with more than 20 apps on their phones who use an app for more than 20 minutes at a time. Mobclix says its system is powerful, but that its categories are broad enough to not identify individuals. "It's about how you track people better," Mr. Gurbuxani says. Some app makers have made changes in response to the findings. At least four app makers posted privacy policies after being contacted by the Journal, including Rovio Mobile Ltd., the Finnish company behind the popular game Angry Birds (in which birds battle egg-snatching pigs). A spokesman says Rovio had been working on the policy, and the Journal inquiry made it a good time to unveil it. Free and paid versions of Angry Birds were tested on an iPhone. The apps sent the phone's UDID and location to the Chillingo unit of Electronic Arts Inc., which markets the games. Chillingo says it doesn't use the information for advertising and doesn't share it with outsiders. Apps have been around for years, but burst into prominence when Apple opened its App Store in July 2008. Today, the App Store boasts more than 300,000 programs. Other phone makers, including BlackBerry maker Research in Motion Ltd. and Nokia Corp., quickly built their own app stores. Google's Android Market, which opened later in 2008, has more than 100,000 apps. Market researcher Gartner Inc. estimates that world-wide app sales this year will total $6.7 billion. Many developers offer apps for free, hoping to profit by selling ads inside the app. Noah Elkin of market researcher eMarketer says some people "are willing to tolerate advertising in apps to get something for free." Of the 101 apps tested, the paid apps generally sent less data to outsiders. Ad sales on phones account for less than 5% of the $23 billion in annual Internet advertising. But spending on mobile ads is growing faster than the market overall. Central to this growth: the ad networks whose business is connecting advertisers with apps. Many ad networks offer software "kits" that automatically insert ads into an app. The kits also track where users spend time inside the app. Some developers feel pressure to release more data about people. Max Binshtok, creator of the DailyHoroscope Android app, says ad-network executives encouraged him to transmit users' locations. Mr. Binshtok says he declined because of privacy concerns. But ads targeted by location bring in two to five times as much money as untargeted ads, Mr. Binshtok says. "We are losing a lot of revenue." Other apps transmitted more data. The Android app for social-network site MySpace sent age and gender, along with a device ID, to Millennial Media, a big ad network. In its software-kit instructions, Millennial Media lists 11 types of information about people that developers may transmit to "help Millennial provide more relevant ads." They include age, gender, income, ethnicity, sexual orientation and political views. In a re-test with a more complete profile, MySpace also sent a user's income, ethnicity and parental status. A spokesman says MySpace discloses in its privacy policy that it will share details from user profiles to help advertisers provide "more relevant ads." My Space is a unit of News Corp., which publishes the Journal. Millennial did not respond to requests for comment on its software kit. App makers transmitting data say it is anonymous to the outside firms that receive it. "There is no real-life I.D. here," says Joel Simkhai, CEO of Nearby Buddy Finder LLC, the maker of the Grindr app for gay men. "Because we are not tying [the information] to a name, I don't see an area of concern." Scott Lahman, CEO of TextPlus 4 developer Gogii Inc., says his company "is dedicated to the privacy of our users. We do not share personally identifiable information or message content." A Pandora spokeswoman says, "We use listener data in accordance with our privacy policy," which discusses the app's data use, to deliver relevant advertising. When a user registers for the first time, the app asks for email address, gender, birth year and ZIP code. Google was the biggest data recipient in the tests. Its AdMob, AdSense, Analytics and DoubleClick units collectively heard from 38 of the 101 apps. Google, whose ad units operate on both iPhones and Android phones, says it doesn't mix data received by these units. Google's main mobile-ad network is AdMob, which it bought this year for $750 million. AdMob lets advertisers target phone users by location, type of device and "demographic data," including gender or age group. A Google spokesman says AdMob targets ads based on what it knows about the types of people who use an app, phone location, and profile information a user has submitted to the app. "No profile of the user, their device, where they've been or what apps they've downloaded, is created or stored," he says. Apple operates its iAd network only on the iPhone. Eighteen of the 51 iPhone apps sent information to Apple. Apple targets ads to phone users based largely on what it knows about them through its App Store and iTunes music service. The targeting criteria can include the types of songs, videos and apps a person downloads, according to an Apple ad presentation reviewed by the Journal. The presentation named 103 targeting categories, including: karaoke, Christian/gospel music, anime, business news, health apps, games and horror movies. People familiar with iAd say Apple doesn't track what users do inside apps and offers advertisers broad categories of people, not specific individuals. Apple has signaled that it has ideas for targeting people more closely. In a patent application filed this past May, Apple outlined a system for placing and pricing ads based on a person's "web history or search history" and "the contents of a media library." For example, home-improvement advertisers might pay more to reach a person who downloaded do-it-yourself TV shows, the document says. The patent application also lists another possible way to target people with ads: the contents of a friend's media library. How would Apple learn who a cellphone user's friends are, and what kinds of media they prefer? The patent says Apple could tap "known connections on one or more social-networking websites" or "publicly available information or private databases describing purchasing decisions, brand preferences," and other data. In September, Apple introduced a social-networking service within iTunes, called Ping, that lets users share music preferences with friends. Apple declined to comment. Tech companies file patents on blue-sky concepts all the time, and it isn't clear whether Apple will follow through on these ideas. If it did, it would be an evolution for Chief Executive Steve Jobs, who has spoken out against intrusive tracking. At a tech conference in June, he complained about apps "that want to take a lot of your personal data and suc* it up." Source: Wall Street Journal

Assuming 200 minutes of usage on default plan with mobile no as mdn and password, you are already paying, -For Minutes of Usage=200*.6= Rs 120 -For Network Usage Charges assuming 100 MB is consumed= 100*5= Rs 500 So total Rs 620. Why don't you subscribe to Windows Mobile 199 plan for Rs 199 per month which will give you 500 MB usage with no Network Usage Charges. And you won't have to make any change to your phone as mobile no as mdn and password is already entered. -

DoT: 3G Services Tested Were Not Live,but With A Lag Of 5 Minuites
rajanmehta replied to satishdave's topic in Indian Telecom / General News
Order to shut down 3G video call discriminatory, say private telcos Seek Kapil Sibal's intervention as BSNL, MTNL continue to offer the service. DoT had issued notices to Tata Tele RCom and Bharti airtel not to launch any 3G service which does not enable snooping by security agencies on a real time basis Reliance Communications and Tata Teleservices on Friday told the Telecom Minister, Mr Kapil Sibal, that the order to shut down video calls on third generation (3G) platform was discriminatory as the two State-run telecom companies, MTNL and BSNL, were continuing to offer the service despite having the same security monitoring capabilities. The two operators, through the Association of Unified Telecom Service Providers of India (AUSPI), also urged the Government to withdraw the shut-down order issued on Wednesday as it was hurting their business plans. DoT had issued a notice to the two operators and Bharti Airtel asking them not to launch any 3G service which does not enable snooping by security agencies on a real-time basis. "The direction by the Department of Telecom for stopping video-based 3G service is depriving our customers of the next generation telecom services while the same services are available from BSNL and MTNL for more than a year now. It is pertinent to mention here that BSNL and MTNL do not have better Lawful Interception Monitoring (LIM) capability than the private operators. The direction only to private players is seriously distorting the level playing field," AUSPI said in a letter to Mr Sibal. AUSPI is the industry body representing CDMA players, including Tata Tele and RCom. The basic problem is that intelligence agencies are not able to intercept services such as video calls and instant messaging flowing through 3G networks. While, on the one hand, the issue is about national security, on the other, it is impacting revenues of telecom operators who have paid billions of dollars to acquire 3G spectrum. "This is resulting in a colossal waste of national resource as the huge investment made by operators in the 3G spectrum and the network remains unproductive," said Mr S.C. Khanna, General Secretary, AUSPI. Technically unfeasible The operators said that the demand from security agencies to access video calls on a real-time basis was technically not possible. "The monitoring system put up by the operators is as per global standards and the current standards do not have a provision for real-time video call content to be made available. Thus, decoding of intercepted video content is possible only at the end of the call,' said one of the operators. This is not the first time security agencies have asked telecom companies to shut down services due to their inability to monitor traffic flowing through communications networks. Earlier, a ban threat was issued to BlackBerry device makers if they did not make provisions for interception. Security concerns were also raised against Chinese telecom equipment on grounds that there could be spyware embedded into these networks. Operators said that while national security was important, the Government should formulate a monitoring policy which takes into account emerging new technologies as well as business interests.

First Chrome OS Netbook Expected this Month
rajanmehta posted a topic in General Technical Discussion
Source: Geek.com Digitimes is reporting two surprising bits of news today regarding Google Chrome OS, both of which we hope are true. The first is that we can expect the first netbook using Google Chrome OS to ship before the end of November. We don't know which manufacturer is going to ship it other than it is a "global brand vendor". That will be followed by both Acer and HP launching similar Chrome OS netbooks in December. The second, and more surprising claim, is that Google is set to follow a similar strategy to its Nexus One smartphone with an own-branded Chrome OS netbook launch. This will see Google release its own netbook sold online exclusively and using an ARM processor at its core. Shipments are thought to be limited to 70,000 to begin with. Manufacturing of the Google netbook is being handled by Inventec. What's not clear is whether the first Chrome OS netbook will actually be Google's own branded hardware, or if a manufacturer already shipping netbook hardware will be first out of the gate. -

With hordes of inexpensive Android phones coming our way each day, I think it is my duty to inform the uninformed about the perils of a resistive touchscreen - the kinds that some of those cheap Android phones are employing these days. Long story short - Resistive screens were a thing of the past where input on a touchscreen was performed using a thick tooth-pick like object called stylus. The popularity of capacitive screens soared after its use in the iPhone in 2007. Capacitive screens are designed to work well with fingers, not pointy sticks. They also support multi-touch gestures. Since then, all the phone makers have either been trying to do two things - still make resistive screened phones with a tweaked UI that works better with fingers (classic example: the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic). But now most makers have moved on to using capacitive screens in their phones as well. Resistive screens are now finding their way into cheaper phones under Rs. 10,000. While we're not arguing that resistive screens are horrible and absolutely unusable with fingers, the smoothness offered by the capacitive ones is quite noticeable. Don't believe us? Walk into any big electronic store where they let you demo cell-phones (like a Croma or E-Zone), and try out say...the LG Optimus GT540 and the LG Optimus One P500. Make sure that you swipe between home-screens and do other stuff like typing out a long text message. I bet my life (no wait, my helmet) that you are bound to find a superior experience with the capacitive-screen driven Optimus P500. Lastly, Android, as a mobile operating system, was designed with finger usage in mind, not a stylus. Some might argue that resistive screens offer great value for money since they're cheaper. But when the difference is barely of Rs. 1,000 to Rs. 2,000 at most, I believe paying the extra is absolutely worth it. For example, the Micromax Andro A60 sells for Rs. 6,700 while the Samsung Galaxy 5 is for Rs. 8,900. No prizes for guessing which has what kind of screens. As of now, there a couple of such rotten eggs in the market that we have no other option but to bring out to the firing squad: Micromax Andro A60 Dell XCD28 LG Optimus GT540 LG GW620 Acer beTouch E110 HTC Tattoo Source: Techtree
