The Iphone OS needs to be opened up, says Kaspersky

,----[ Quote ]
| THE INFOSEC CONFERENCE WAS TOLD that Apple's 
| Iphone is secure for now, but if Apple 
| doesn't open up the system it will lose out 
| to rival mobile operating systems due to its 
| lack of flexibility.

Building platforms for growth in the new wireless era 

,----[ Quote ]
| Observing leading platform companies such as 
| Google and Apple reveals a number of tactics 
| that can be employed across a wide segment 
| of the wireless industry. Google, in 
| particular, has been successful in making an 
| impact via its much-hyped, open source, 
| Android platform. At the heart of this 
| platform is an operating system built on the 
| foundations of Linux open source software 
| code, and as such, Android is available to 
| anyone to use, build, and develop without 
| incurring license or royalty payments.
| 
| [...]
| 
| Compared to Apple's ecosystem, the Android 
| developer community is drawing on 
| traditional open-source development 
| strategies: networks of lead programmers 
| collaborate across the code's core software 
| interfaces. Like Apple, Google distributes 
| free software developer kits and application 
| programming interfaces (APIs) to facilitate 
| community-based development. More users and 
| program usage will spur more innovation and 
| improve its ability to quickly and 
| efficiently resolve quality issues. In 
| return, greater exposure of the Android 
| platform will likely arise and heighten its 
| potential for becoming a de facto wireless 
| standard.

Googleâs TV App Platform May Be Announced Next Month

,----[ Quote ]
| Little is known about the platform so far; a
| report last month said Google had the
| ultimate goal of making it as âeasy for TV
| users to navigate web applications ... as it
| is to change the channel,â while an earlier
| report said that Google wanted to make it
| easy for people to search both TV content
| and web videos.
