Infected Angry Birds Space Available in Google Play. Be Careful!

The Angry Birds Space is the most popular game nowadays. But installing it on an Android device is not that secure. The original version of the game coming from Rovio is what you need but do you always check the developer when downloading an app or a game from Google Play? I doubt that because the charm of getting this game as soon as possible blinds. As a result, when you mash the download button, you can download not only the game but also a couple of JPEG files associated with the game hiding malware inside.

The most recent hacker op forces the infected phone to make calls to premium numbers owned by the hackers. But they can send out malware via your SMS messages. Thus all your personal data, calls and texts are under in danger caused by your impatience to download the latest version of Angry Birds.

So the only thing to avoid malware is to check the developer. If you are not that familiar with Android or smartphones at all, you can ask whether there is any method to check the apps and games itself. Of course, Google has announced something like that dubbed as Bouncer, which is intended to analyze new apps to keep out malware, spyware and trojan horses. But it turns out Bouncer like everything else in this world can fail to see the malware and allow it to enter your phone. So do everything yourself.

Save Any Format Gmail Attachment

If you own an Android-powered device and use Gmail as your main email service, you must be having no inconvenience. But it’s not true, especially when it comes to downloading .zip files. So we must have a third-party developer as a help. Luckily, there are such developers.

Poofinc Studios has developed a similar app dubbed Gmail Attachment Download. As the naming suggests, the app allows users to download any file at any extension and save it in any storage — in the internal memory or the SD card.

You won’t find any app icon or a bunch of bloat. On the contrary, users can activate it by pressing the view, preview or install button of an attachment, and then select the app.

Gmail Attachment Download app is ad-supported, works with other emails and is available for free. So if you are interested in the app, you can download it from Google Play.

Google Voice for Android Available for Download

Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich brings not only a higher software version, changed menus and bug fixes, but also new apps with deep integration with it. One such app is Google Voice, which has been available since 2009 and it can now be downloaded from Google Play.

I mentioned the integration feature not accidentally, because the main improvement of the updated version of Google Voice will be seen only on handsets running ICS. It is the ability of accessing the voice message right from within the call log without launching the Google Voice app itself. Thus as you open the call log to see outgoing, incoming and missed calls, you will see the voice message with text transcripts, and play them on-demand. Users can slow down the playback or speed it up regardless of how they want to check out the message content.

As I said, Google Voice is available for download, though you must check “Voicemail display” under settings and run Android 4.0 to use the feature.

Google Play Live

While many people were doing their best to understand what the name Google Play might imply, the soft giant was developing a general store, where all its stores are gathered.

Initially, Google Play was thought to be the name of the upcoming Google Nexus tablet, but now it was made clear it’s just an integrated store. The services seem not to be changed, so Google has only changed the destination to make it easier for you to find whatever you’re looking for.

The new store will be rolled out to all Android devices running Froyo and higher. All your old Bookmarks for the Android Market Web store will automatically be routed to the new Google Play address. Moreover, the Market itself still looks the same with sections for Apps, Music, Books, and Video. Say, the Google Music website is now available at the Play subdomain.

As stated by company reps, users will soon get opportunities to store and purchase music, access numerous e-books and rent movies even in HD quality. Well, I guess this is a good decision and Google fans are happy with it.

Android 6.0 to Be Called Key Lime Pie

Android 5.0 Jelly Bean is on its way, and according to initial rumors, it will be launched in fall, though no one talks about its exact launch date. Anyway, at the moment we know for sure how the fifth generation Android OS will be called and that’s enough, because the Android world is waiting for Ice Cream Sandwich updates and then we’ll start talking about the Jelly Bean. But wait, there are some people who are already interested in the sixth generation Android and even know how it will be called.

The information comes from The Verge, and as the source claims it is sure Android 6.0 will be called Key Lime Pie. We know Google launches every Android version after a dessert in alphabetical order. So Key Lime Pie is the first thing we think about, but there is also Kugelhopf. The latter, however, is not so popular as the Key Lime Pie, don’t you agree with me?

Of course, The Verge’s tipster wished to remain unknown, though we think it’s the same person who tipped them about the Jelly Bean name last year.
