The Kantar Media Mobile OS data for last Quarter, Q4,2014 shows how much churn there has been across the most popular Mobile OS platforms across Europe , Asia and North America and how Android is being threatened by iOS for the first time in the history ..
The numbers clearly show that the iphone 6 is having a dent in Android sales . Kantar media latest 12-week smartphone sales figures, for the three months to the end of November 2014, show Android losing share in the U.S. for the first time since September 2013.
Evidently iOS is also taking share from smaller platform players in the U.S., such as Windows Phone (which dropped 1.6 percentage points) and others, likely BlackBerry . In UK Android sales have been hit as as it dropped a larger share than in the U.S., declining 6.7 percentage points year on year. Germany market saw Android sales being hit by 2%Even Android nations have taken a hit, Spain, with over 90% Android shows a marginal 2% fall . Australia it declined by 3% China’s Android share dropped by 5%
This is not a huge surprise, given that the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus are Apple’s largest ever iPhones — went on sale starting last September. Yet the Android platform has had larger form factor ‘phablet’ devices for years, so iOS buyers seem to now catching up on their size habbits

Million Android Users vulnerable to malicious attack due to a security flaw
9:00 AM /

Source: StatCounter Global Stats – OS Market Share
Android continues to be beset by problems whenever it just seems that its all ready to blow competition away ..
Apparently Millions of people using Android devices could be left open to attack from malicious apps that appear to come from legitimate developers, due to a flaw in Google’s mobile software.
The flaw has been named “Fake ID” by security company Bluebox Labs, which discovered it.
The worse part as globally Android’s marketshare is bigger than its nearest competitors and this affects almost all Android phones.
Bluebox says the vulnerability dates back to the January 2010 release of Android 2.1 and affects all devices that are not patched for “Google bug 13678484,” which was disclosed to Google and released for patching in April..The root of this vulnerability lies in what’s called a “certificate chain,” in which encrypted certificates that verify the identities of Android apps can trust each other to communicate and share data.
However, Google says it has already issued a patch to protect Android users from attacks exploiting the flaw.

If you are using Android Purchased before 2011, You data is ” not safe “

According to findings by the Electronic Frontier Foundation, which are reproduced across many tech websites reveals that Android device with Android 3.1 Honeycomb or later installed is in Preferred Network Offload mode, meaning it broadcasts the recent Wi-Fi networks it was connected to, allowing anyone within Wi-Fi range to figure out exactly where the user is based and where they have previously been.
Howeeve these no need to panic There always a solution, as people who use technology products are more often than not smarter than who makes them
Just go to “Advanced Wi-Fi” settings and disable the “Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep” option to stop PNO from checking for networks in sleep mode.
Acording to TheVerge Devices running iOS 6, 7, or 8 are not affected by the bug, although EFF reported some data leakage in iOS 5 devices.
