    Announces appMobi support of multitasking in iOS4.

    FlyCast announces a new open source library of demonstration mobile apps that were created with HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript. As a supplement to Apple’s HTML5 gallery, these demonstrations illustrate how new web technologies can be used to create world-class compelling mobile experiences, obviating the need for Adobe Flash on mobile devices. The gallery can be viewed using iPhone, iPad or iPod touch by navigating to http://appmobi.com/gallery.

    Created by FlyCast, appMobi is a cross-platform rapid mobile app development and deployment ecosystem. appMobi offers users the ability to “develop once” using HTML and JavaScript, then deploy to a variety of devices and operating systems, including iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch and Android tablets and phones. Apps created with appMobi are native apps, fully compliant with Apple’s SDK 4.0 terms of service.

    Anticipating the upcoming release of Apple’s iOS 4, with its ability to play streaming radio in the background, appMobi also released source code that will allow any radio station to create a branded, multitasking native app that will run on Apple iPad, iPhone (all versions), iPod Touch, and any Android device.

    appMobi is a new type of cloud-based “Software as a Service” (SaaS) provider, offering its customers scalable, pay-as-you-go development and deployment tools, Amazon AWS edge-caching servers for hosted application deployment, PhoneGap support, analytics, in-app payments, and advertising. The source code posted today is offered under the MIT open source license.

    This week, AT&T’s 3G network servicing the Apple iPad was breached. AT&T claims the breach is closed, but RESCUECOM CEO David A. Milman says, “While most everyone is aware that security is important, very few of us understand what goes into securing the software, hardware, and networks that contain our most valuable asset, our identity. AT&T’s breach is a perfect example of how at risk we are.”

    RESCUECOM provides iPad users with five tips to protect their personal data:

    1. Turn off the 3G Network: AT&T has stated that there is no more threat to customers. However, turning off 3G wireless Internet service, at least temporarily, will protect an individual’s personal data from any further attack.

    2. Request a new SIM from AT&T: The ICC-ID number that the hackers breached is attached to each user’s SIM, the card linking an individual iPad to its user. Changing the SIM card would change the ICC-ID as well, rendering that information useless.

    3. Confirm any email from Apple or AT&T: The most likely threat to iPad users comes from what are called “phishing attacks” – fraudulent e-mails disguised as being from a trusted source. These attacks trick users into giving away personal information or into opening e-mails that may install malicious programs.

    In this case, the e-mails would most likely seem to come from Apple or AT&T, as most users would expect. Should an iPad owner get an email, they should confirm that it came from the real Apple or AT&T, and remember that the real companies never ask for personal or login information in an e-mail.

    4. Change your email: The simplest solution is to stop using the compromised e-mail address. AT&T states the only information illicitly obtained was user’s e-mail addresses. Changing your address would eliminate this threat.

    5. Be careful what you use the iPad for: Using the iPad is, most likely, still safe. However, to best protect personal data, users should be careful what they use the iPad for. Avoid tasks such as mobile banking or anything that transmits personal information, especially when on a 3G network.

    For those consumers who have not yet purchased an iPad, but were considering it, Milman reminds them that, “As with all new technology, RESCUECOM recommends waiting at least six months for the manufacturer to work the major bugs out of the system.”

    RESCUECOM recognizes the value of personal and Internet security. Should any iPad owner feel that their personal data may have been compromised, they can contact one of our computer repair specialists for assistance.

    About RESCUECOM:

    RESCUECOM provides computer repair and computer support, 24/7: meeting every tech support need including data recovery, virus removal, networking, wireless services, and computer support for all brands of hardware and software.

    Logic Wireless, creators of the projector cell phone technology, announces that it will be displaying the world’s most powerful cell phone at the CES 2011 in Las Vegas. The Logic Bolt V1.0 first gained widespread attention when the international press considered it the breakout hit of the 2009 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Both models are GSM Quadband handsets that project phone content onto any surface up to 64″. This is achieved through an integrated mobile projector.

    According to Logic Wireless CEO, Aasim Saied, “Logic Wireless has firmly established its place in the global
    arena for many years to come. Our smaller size and higher quality allows us to be more nimble and tailor more products to the consumers’ needs.”

    In 2010 Logic Wireless released the Bolt V1.5 for a test market launch. More streamlined than its 1.0 counterpart, the Bolt 1.5 offers significant upgrades to the OS and software, as well as a much smaller form factor. These upgrades not only signify the technological stamina that Logic Wireless offers to the cellular phone industry, but also make the Bolt V1.5 the sleekest, most efficient phone projector produced to date. The new model is so small and versatile that it is being positioned as the next evolutionary step to the business and social networking arenas.

    Logic Wireless is also gearing up to introduce an advanced green energy technology along with a powerful patent-pending high-definition projector cell phone, scheduled to debut in 2011. Given the innovation Logic Wireless has displayed with its early projects, cornering the market in green technology is sure to make it a mainstay.

    ForeclosureRadar Releases iPhone App, Makes Professional-Quality Foreclosure Information and Services Available in the Field.

    Daily auction schedules, property details, photo and note-taking tools now available anywhere.

    ForeclosureRadar (http://www.foreclosureradar.com), an online service that provides accurate, up-to-date information on the foreclosure market in California, Arizona, Nevada, Oregon and Washington, announced today that it has released an iPhone application. The application makes information on properties in all stages of foreclosure – including daily auction schedules – available to users anywhere, at any time.

    ForeclosureRadar counts thousands of professional investors, Realtors, government agencies and financial institutions among its subscribers. The iPhone application is available free to ForeclosureRadar subscribers at the App Store by Apple.

    The new iPhone app allows users to:

    – Identify foreclosures around their current location using the iPhone’s GPS capability, or searching by map area, city or ZIP Code
    – Monitor foreclosure auction activity with daily auction schedules, and quickly find properties as they are announced by the auctioneer
    – Review details on foreclosures including ownership, loan history, value, equity, transaction history and more
    – View saved properties, review financial analyses performed with the user’s ForeclosureRadar account, and tag and assign a status to properties of interest
    – Take photos or make notes on properties that can be viewed later or shared instantly with team members

    “Success in today’s foreclosure market is driven in large part by the quality and timeliness of your information,” said Sean O’Toole, ForeclosureRadar’s founder and CEO. “Whether you are an auction investor who needs instant information on the courthouse steps, a Realtor working with clients in the field, or an investor or government staffer doing site inspections, you’ll find this app invaluable.”

    Andrew Katakis of CEMG, Inc., a foreclosure investor and ForeclosureRadar subscriber, said, “The data
    ForeclosureRadar delivers, and tools they provide to make sense of it, simply blow other foreclosure services out of the water. Extending this experience to the iPhone adds to the value they provide immeasurably.”

    “Now my team and I can enter any market, any neighborhood, and immediately and accurately answer the question ‘What’s the foreclosure situation here?’” said Michael Temby, a Realtor with Keller Williams Realty who subscribes to ForeclosureRadar. “I can quickly and confidently establish my foreclosure expertise with clients in any situation.”

    ForeclosureRadar is a web-based subscription service. Subscriptions are $49.95 per month with no long-term
    contract. A 3-day free trial is available.

    About ForeclosureRadar.com

    ForeclosureRadar features unprecedented tools to search, manage, track and analyze pre-foreclosure, foreclosure auction, short sale and bank-owned real estate. The company was launched in May 2007 by Sean O’Toole, who spent 15 years building and launching software companies before entering

    M.A.D. Partners, a global leader in securing smart phones and mobile devices, announces the immediate availability of Mobile Active Defense, the first 100% cloud-based and comprehensive mobile security solution
    for the enterprise. Mobile Active Defense forces all iPhone, iPad and iTouch traffic through the device VPN to the industry’s first Mobile Enterprise Compliance and Security (MECS) Server — a fully managed firewall that can either be hosted or managed.

    Using zero footprint technology, Mobile Active Defense offers IT and IS professionals exactly what they’ve been waiting for; comprehensive mobile security that also allows for complete compliancy. According to M.A.D. Partners’ CTO, Rob Smith, “M.A.D. protects just about everything the CISO and CTO would want. Email security, anti-virus, spam and malware detection and removal, encryption, VPN, a granular policy driven firewall, inventory control, provisioning and of course, extensive reporting.”

    M.A.D. Enterprise does not require any changes to existing security or IT infrastructure and can be up and running within hours. Moreover, Android, Symbian and Windows Mobile support will be available in coming weeks, all managed through a single console interface and managed firewall.

    As Larry Whiteside Jr., CISO of the Visiting Nurse Service of New York puts it, “We have had the types of controls needed for security and compliance with BlackBerry for years. It is critical that we demand the same level of security be used to mitigate against the risk inherent in iPhones, iPads and other mobile devices now that they are appearing in the enterprise.”

    With the success and security that was delivered with the BlackBerry and the BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES), many information security and technology professionals looked beyond mobile security and switched their focus to more pressing concerns. However, with the rapid success and consumerization of a myriad of intelligent mobile technologies including the iPhone, iPad, Android phones, Nokia Symbian and Windows Mobile devices, the lack of available security and compliance for the mobile enterprise marks the availability of Mobile Active Defense at a critical and opportune time for companies in all sectors.

    Prior to Mobile Active Defense, and due to limited options, organizations have been piloting, or worse yet deploying these devices, using only the available controls from Microsoft ActiveSync and the iPhone native operating system. Multiple vendors unfortunately claim that managing these anemic features is “security.” With less than 50% of the controls offered by Mobile Active Defense — security and technology professionals have nervously been trying to figure out how to get back to the standard which they are
    used to with solutions like BES. Now with Mobile Active Defense, they have their answer.

    Now that jailbreaking the iPhone and iPad is legal, corporate enterprises have even more to worry about.

    Until 26 July 2010, corporate IT and security managers only had to worry about keeping rogue iPhones and their associated security and compliance holes in check. With the latest government ruling, however, jailbroken iPhones and iPads present even greater threats to the privacy and security of corporate networks.

    Winn Schwartau, Chairman of M.A.D. Partners, LLC, the smartphone security company said, “iPhone users can now download apps from anywhere they choose, not just the iTunes store. This signifies a far greater risk to companies who are trying to leverage the unique capabilities of the Apple platform. But Mobile Active Defense provides a strong, workable and automatic solution that solves the jailbreaking problem on corporate networks.”

    To maintain high levels of security, privacy and compliance across the enterprise, IT administrators must have complete control over devices that connect to the company network, use company resources and store or process sensitive data.

    They must meet HIPAA, GLBA, PCI, SOX and myriad other compliance guidelines, especially in the mobile arena.

    With M.A.D.’s powerful Mobile Enterprise Compliance and Security (MECS) Server, says Schwartau, “we can detect jailbreaking within one minute. That’s pretty cool. Once this clear violation of security policy is discovered, the MECS managed firewall issues immediate remediation options to the administrator.”

    With Mobile Active Defense, the iPhone stays in communication with the MECS Server. If any company-defined “out of compliance” or “out of policy” conditions are detected on any of the organization’s iPhones, an immediate alert is generated.

    According to M.A.D. Partners’ CTO, Rob Smith, “The administrator configures the MECS Server to inspect the
    security state of the iPhone. How do we do it? That’s our secret sauce. How quickly the administrator responds to a remediation request from the MECS Server is what is really important. We give him all the tools he needs.”

    The remediation response taken by the company is policy driven and enforced through the MECS Server. The
    administrator can choose to isolate the offending iPhone/iPad from connecting to anything, pending further
    investigation. Or he can choose to wipe the entire device with no notification to the user. Lastly, the administrator can choose to be notified by email, SMS or MECS Server console popup, allowing him to individually choose the remediation response.

    The M.A.D. Mobile Enterprise Compliance and Security (MECS) Server supports the U.S. Government’s NIST 800-53 critical guidance for mobile device access control and media storage, as well as those for ISO 27001 that map directly to HIPAA, GLBA, PCI and SOX.

    Adding MECS Servers to any enterprise does not require any changes to existing security or IT infrastructures and can be up and running within one day.
