Verizon and VMware release Horizon Mobile app to seperate work from home

We are starting to see a bit more in terms of using an Android handset in the workplace. While the Android adoption may take some time, we are currently seeing apps that will help to keep your work and personal data seperate. The latest in this bunch has arrived by way of VMware. The app is called WMware Horizon Mobile and the app has been announced for Verizon Wireless users.

Specifically, the WMware Horizon Mobile app will be available for Verizon users provided they are carrying an LG Intuition or Motorola RAZR M smartphone. At present the app is only supported on these two handsets, however there was a mention of additional device support arriving “throughout the year.” More important for now, WMware Horizon Mobile will create what is being referred to as a “virtualized operating system” on your device.

In simpler terms, this app will allow the user to keep their work and personal profiles seperate. Additionally, the work profile will be controlled and managed by your IT department. This IT department managed section will have its own virtualized operating system as well as its own applications and policies. The key here though, security.

“Having a virtual workspace available on smartphones using the VMware Horizon platform gives us an unobtrusive way to more securely offer applications to mobile care givers and maintain control of the data while minimizing worry about potential data breaches,” said Edward Ricks, chief information officer, Beaufort Memorial Hospital. “This dual persona approach gives us full control over our data on personally owned or corporate-owned mobile devices without requiring us to unnecessarily manage the entire device.”

Sticking with the topic of security. The app is said to have “enterprise-grade security for Android” and in addition to simply keeping the work and personal data separate, the app will also encrypt the work side. All that being said, the VMware Horizon Mobile app brings a licensing fee which starts at 5 per user. Those looking to get setup will able to do so through Verizon Wireless as well as with a VWware reseller.

Otherwise, looking at some of the similar solutions and we have the recently updated BlackBerry Secure Work Space and Samsung KNOX. Both of these items have support for Android handsets and they are similar to the VMware offering in that they keep the work and personal data seperate with the work place data being encrypted.

PayPal Android SDK release will bring additional in-app payment options

by in Gadgets

PayPal has announced the availability of a new Android SDK. This release is aimed at developers and PayPal notes that it will be able to offer “everything a developer needs to accept both PayPal and credit card payments.” On the flip side though, while the release of the SDK is for developers, it should also serve to improve the payment process for a user looking to pay through PayPal. While there isn’t any timeline as to when this will show up in apps, the SDK will be available beginning on May 15th.

Basically, at this point it is up to the developers to make use of the SDK. This means developers will be able to set things up so the user will be able to make a PayPal payment without having to leave the app. Or in simpler terms, the user will have a streamlined checkout experience. Perhaps even nicer, the user will have multiple options when it comes to making that payment.

They will be able to use a PayPal account or use a credit or debit card by snapping a picture. As far as taking a picture, this will be done using the card.io technology. When using the card.io setup users only have to hold their credit card up and let the app scan the card. For those who may be worried about scanning your credit card, PayPal did mention that is a secure process.

The above image shows a basic example of the PayPal payment setup in an Android app. While the streamlined checkout process will likely be beneficial to the end user, PayPal has also said this will allow developers to make use of a payment solution that scales with them. Further details here mention how they have “128 million account holders across more than 50 financial networks in 190 markets and in 25 currencies around the globe.”

While the end user waits for this to begin showing up in Android apps, here are a few points that developers should know — the PayPal SDK for Android will support v2.2 (Froyo) or later and there will be documentation as well as integration details available on the newly updated PayPal developer site.

Lenovo confirms Ideaphone K900 release date

by in Gadgets

Lenovo announced the Ideaphone K900 back in January. The announcement took place during CES and while Lenovo was forthcoming in terms of specs, they were rather quiet in terms of when the handset would begin shipping. At the time all we heard was about how the K900 was expected to begin shipping around April.

c832fb890540x379.jpg Lenovo confirms Ideaphone K900 release date

Well, as it turns out that April timeframe is not going to hold up. Lenovo however, hasn’t missed that by much though and has since announced the Ideaphone K900 will begin shipping on May 6. As we were expecting to happen, the handset will initially be available only for those in China. No word if, or when the K900 will begin shipping to other markets.

This is a handset that may appeal to those looking for something with a larger display. The K900 has a 5.5-inch display. Said display is IPS and sporting a resolution of 1920 x 1080 with a PPI of 440. The K900 is powered by a 2GHz Intel Clover Trail processor with 2GB of RAM, a 13 megapixel rear-facing camera and running Android 4.2 Jelly Bean.

Touching back on the camera, as you will see, that is one of the focus points from the video. Here you will learn how this was about more than just having the highest megapixel camera — the K900 has a Sony Exmor lens with F1.8 focal length. All that being said, those curious about the Lenovo K900 may want to check the above video which shows a bit of our hands-on time from CES.

Pocket celebrates a year with release of new features

0

by in Gadgets

The folks behind the Pocket app are celebrating one year. To clarify, they are celebrating the one-year anniversary of when they changed the name from Read It Later to Pocket. Regardless of the specific anniversary though, it looks like those who are using Pocket on an Android device now have an update waiting for them. In addition to the app update, this celebration also comes with some interesting comments on sharing.

It seems Pocket users (across all platforms) are now sharing more than 35 million items per month. While that certainly sounds like a large number, the interesting part here is that sharing over email is used more often than sharing over social networks. According to the data from Pocket, users are sharing over email more than twice as often than they are on social networks. You can get an idea of that from the image sitting below, however email sharing is double that of Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr combined.

Of course, these details about sharing seem to connect with the new features. First up, this release of Pocket makes it easier to share content with friends using the Send to Friend option. Those on the receiving end of the share will see the shared items directly in Pocket. There is also a new share menu that will highlight your recent apps and friends.

Shifting away from the sharing aspect and there is still a few remaining goodies. Here we have a feature called Instant Sync which will sync across multiple devices as well as an auto full-screen mode that works in both the Article and Web View. Finally, last up was the unspecified, but always welcomed “bug fixes and improvements.” With that, those with Pocket already installed can grab the update using the Play Store on their device. All others, Pocket can be found using this Google Play Store link.

Asus Cube (formely Asus Qube) available for pre-order: slightly changed name, price and release date

Asus Qube Google TV

Asus Qube, the company’s foray into the world of Google TV, has been announced in January and then delayed, but it’s finally available for pre-order.

While it was already a known fact that those who want an Asus Qube would be able to get their hands on the device on April 23, at a price of 0, things have changed (but not too much, really).

Newegg has it available for pre-order, with the first change being the name. The device is no longer called Asus Qube, but rather Asus Cube, and this is most certainly not a mistake on the retailer’s part, as a picture of the box and its contents has been posted, too (you can see it below).

asus qube

The second difference is the price, which is increased a bit: the 0 has turned into 9.99, but if you pre-order before April 23, you also get a gift card, which compensates completely. That brings us to the third change. Should you pre-order the Asus Cube, you’ll get it on April 24, instead of April 23, the previously announced release date (it’s just a day, so it shouldn’t make too much of a difference).

AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon Galaxy S4 release dates mentioned in reportedly leaked Staples memo [Update]

samsung galaxy s4 4 aa 600

“Tentative” release dates for the AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon Galaxy S4 versions have been spotted in what’s said to be a leaked Staples memo.

According to the document received by Phone Arena, AT&T could launch the Galaxy S4 on April 26, followed by T-Mobile on May 1 and Verzion on May 30.

The memo also reveals that Staples could start pre-orders, or reservations, beginning with April 16. Coincidentally, that’s the same day Walmart will reportedly start taking in-store pre-orders for the handset according to a different leak provided earlier by the same publication. Moreover, AT&T and U.S. Cellular have already confirmed that they will start taking pre-orders on the same day.

Like with the previous leak, we can’t say at this time whether this is a real document or a fabricated one, so we’ll hang on to our grain of salt until Staples properly announces its Galaxy S4 sales.

We will point out that while T-Mobile revealed during its UNcarrier event a few weeks ago that it will stock the Galaxy S4 starting with May 1, AT&T has not mentioned launch details for the handset in its pre-order announcement.

staples-memo-galaxy-s4-pre-order

As for Verizon, the carrier has not even made its Galaxy S4 official yet, and it’s yet to start taking pre-orders for the handset.

The purported Staples document does mention the same May 1 launch date for the T-Mobile Galaxy S4, but the other two potential release dates have not been seen before when talking about the AT&T and Verizon Galaxy S4 launches.

For what it’s worth, the UK Galaxy S4 will be released on April 26, this being the earliest confirmed release date for the handset.

As for that May 30 launch date listed for the Verizon Galaxy S4, we’ll note that, if real, it wouldn’t surprise us to see Verizon launch a highly anticipated device a lot later than the competition.

We’ll be back with more U.S. Galaxy S4 availability details in the coming days, as soon as we find out more details about the phone’s launch in the region.

[Update:] A different version of the same document has been posted up by Engadget, see image above.

Dungeon Hunter 4 release delayed, Gameloft posts new trailer

Dungeon-Hunter-4

Last month, we found out Gameloft’s intention to release a 4th installment of the popular game Dungeon Hunter. We were then teased with a trailer showing off just how serious the game’s graphics will be.

Dungeon Hunter Facebook

 

While everyone is eager to see if the latest iteration will be an improvement, it seems that those who are waiting will have to wait just a little bit longer.

Gameloft has just announced via Dungeon Hunter’s Facebook page that the release of the game for Android will be delayed. The company also posted a new exclusive trailer for the game (see above).

The iOS version of Dungeon Hunter 4 for iOS is already available as a free download for iPad and iPhone. Interestingly, Kotaku reports that the game is filled with in-app offers for better gear and even healing potions, and while they can be avoided, the lack of free healing potions apparently has a negative effect on the gameplay experience:

Healing is the absolute worst. The player is given three healing potions a day. Monsters do not drop them. There are no Diablo-like health globes to collect. There are skills that will facilitate healing on a smaller scale and health slowly regenerates over time, but for the most part your healing options, once those three potions are gone, are buy (20 gems apiece, with 200 gems running .99) or die. Or just stop playing and never have to worry about it.

Are you looking forward to Dungeon Hunter 4?

Fieldrunners 2 for Android set for release in April

Fieldrunners HD has been available in the Google Play Store for some time now. We should also point out that Subatomic Studios recently rolled out an update that took care of some memory issues. But perhaps more important for today — we have word of the follow up on Android. Subatomic Studios has announced that Fieldrunners 2 will be available for Android in April.

537540a11a40x263.jpg Fieldrunners 2 for Android set for release in April

Basically, it looks like users have a few weeks wait ahead of them. Those who simply must have it now — there is an option available. Subatomic Studios has announced a beta and there is the option to sign up for the program now. The developer has said the development for Fieldrunners 2 is “almost complete” so we aren’t sure exactly what that will mean for beta users. Maybe some bugs, maybe some crashes. Of course, that is part of what makes something beta.

Anyway, those who get accepted in the beta program will have different builds sent to them by email. Users will need to be comfortable with sideloading apps, but otherwise, you should also be ready and willing to provide some feedback. After all, the idea of a beta is to clear any potential issues before a public release. Subatomic Studios hasn’t said how many beta slots are open, however they did mention that “the sooner you sign up, the more likely you will be to get included.”

Interestingly enough, they also mentioned the bit about how the beta will “undoubtedly” be leaked and those with a must have attitude will likely be able to torrent it. You know, just in case you don’t make it into the beta program. We should also mention, those accepted in the beta program will be getting the first level of Grasslands and the tutorial (not the complete game).
