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.

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.

Now there’s a richly illustrated plastic surgery app written specifically for the iPad.

 An intuitive new application, developed by facial plastic surgeon Dr. Steven Denenberg, displays hundreds of before and after photos, tells you what it’s like to have surgery, and lets you contact Dr. Denenberg for a free online consultation.

“The iPad is the next powerful communication tool,” Dr. Denenberg said. “Its gorgeous display lets us present huge
photos, and its touch screen makes the app fun and easy to navigate.”

Dr. Denenberg is a facial plastic surgeon trained at Harvard and Stanford. Double board certified and in practice since
1985, Dr. Denenberg has been listed as one of America’s Top Doctors by Castle Connolly Medical Ltd. every year since
2001. He attracts an international clientele with patients from over 50 countries. Dr. Denenberg’s Web site, FacialSurgery.com, is one of the most visited plastic surgery sites on the Web, and has been recognized in Vogue
and W magazines.

For those who are interested, the app also shows how the operations are performed. The app contains its own
fascinating electronic book: over 200 pages of text, diagrams, and photos taken in the operating room.

Entitled “Facial Plastic Surgery: Before and Afters,” the app is available by searching the App Store for “Denenberg”
or “plastic surgery,” or by going to http://www.App33.com, which contains screenshots and instructions for using the
app, and a link to the app’s page on the iTunes store. The app also runs on the iPhone and the iPod touch.

Retina-X Studios, LLC announced today the immediate availability of Mobile Spy for the Apple iPad. Using this groundbreaking iPad technology, users can silently view all email messages, web site visits and other information of children or employees – even if histories are deleted. The new version for the iPad is now on the market.

Mobile Spy runs in total stealth mode and no mentions of the program are shown inside the iPad. After the software is set up on the device, it silently records the contents of all emails sent or received. The software also records web addresses visited in Safari and any contact added to the iPad’s contacts list.

Immediately after activities are logged, they are silently uploaded to the user’s private online account. If no
Internet connection is present, the logs will resume upload at the next Internet connection. Accounts can be checked online from any web browser without needing further access to the iPad.

“Mobile Spy is a priceless piece of software. After having some doubts about honesty, this really helped set the record straight and confirmed my suspicions,” says Derrick, a Mobile Spy user.

Retina-X Studios CEO James Johns states, “Any device that can browse the Internet or send email can lead to unauthorized activities. Before now there was no method to monitor activities of children or employees on the iPad. Being the first to develop this technology, we will continue expanding with new features for this tool by recording GPS positions, photos, notes and more.”

This hybrid system helps businesses enforce their Acceptable Use Policy on company-provided iPads. The software can also monitor teen or family iPads. It gives a parent the ability to remotely monitor their child’s Internet activities by logging into a website from any web browser. Another common use is to back up a user’s own personal activity for their own records.

Mobile Spy runs on any jailbroken iPad. The program is also available for the iPhone, BlackBerry, Android, Windows Mobile and Symbian OS devices. The iPad version of Mobile Spy can be found at http://www.mobile-spy.com/ipadspy.html.

About Retina-X Studios, LLC: RXS designs and develops tools that let users monitor their individual PC, network or smartphone. Mobile Spy has been mentioned by CNN, NBC, CBS News, BBC, New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Reader’s Digest, and other media outlets.
