Looks like an antivirus firm called Panda Security has found malware on a HTC Android phone that they recently received from Vodaphone. Now I know most of use are in the US and don’t purchase from Vodaphone, but I think this is still interesting and makes me a little curious on what the creators of the malware might have in store for the rest of us. Could this problem be a global problem soon? Could we soon all need to use antivirus software on our Android devices? Here’s some of what CNET has reported on the issue-

“Today one of our colleagues received a brand new Vodafone HTC Magic with Google’s Android OS,” researcher Pedro Bustamante wrote on the Panda Research Blog on Monday.

“The interesting thing is that when she plugged the phone to her PC via USB, her Panda Cloud Antivirus went off, detecting both an autorun.inf and autorun.exe as malicious,” he wrote. “A quick look into the phone quickly revealed it was infected and spreading the infection to any and all PCs that the phone would be plugged into.”

Sony Ericsson’s X10 looks almost too good to be true on paper – aside from the version of Android it ships with, 1.6. With a Gig of internal storage, 1 GHz Snapdragon processor, 4″ 480 x 854 screen, and SE’s Nexus UX (I hope they rename this), it is certainly set to hang with the top Androids on the market. However, when I got to play with one in a private meeting at CES, I was disappointed by a non-responsive screen that felt cheap and even plasticy. Then again, those were running 1.5 and the units out on the show floor, which I did not see, were running 1.6 and inspired a positive reaction from everyone I spoke with about them. Time will tell. I hope I’m wrong about the lackluster touch screen. Looks like I may have called one detail pretty early on though. Video after the break…

You know that killer, Sense-powered sister to the Nexus One that has been confirmed by virtually every carrier across the pond but not by a one over here? I’m talking about Desire, and that it does inspire. Had I the time or the sign of an inkling, I’d write a poem for that twinkling screen upon which my fingers (multiple, true) could dance and twirl and bring such joy to my eyes and uh… What was I saying? Oh, that it probably won’t be called Desire when it does launch over here, and that has my source wondering about the validity of the following claims. Then again, the people he’s talking to might understand the connection and could just be using the more widely accepted brand. Who knows?

Andrew Kameka over at Androinica has word that T-Mobile managers around the country have been briefed on, and spent some hands on time with, a large touch screen Android phone. Andrew did what he could to check multiple sources. He’s classifying it as a rumor, but it is tantalizing, No? That’s the kind of news that leads to re-upping when a man is almost out of contract!
