<description><![CDATA[Microsoft is dishing on Windows Phone 7 apps.(Credit:CNET)Since the launch ofWindows Phone 7 operating system last year, Microsoft has been trying to catch up to Apple and Google in the mobile-apps race. And the software giant took to its blog yesterday to share its progress.Microsofts says that there are now 11,500 applications available in its Windows Marketplace store. Out of that, 7,500 applications are paid, while 1,110 apps are generating revenue through ads, thanks to the company's Microsoft Advertising Ad Control service. On average, Microsoft says, users are downloading 12 apps each month.The size of Microsoft's mobile marketplace still pales in comparison to Apple's App Store. According to the Apple app page on the company's Web site, there are now over 350,000 available applications to its customers. In January, Apple announced that 10 billion apps had been downloaded from its store since its launch in 2008.It's a similar story on the Android side. A Google spokesperson told CNET in an e-mail today that the Android Market has &quot;more than 150,000 apps available in the Android Market.&quot;Though that's still much lower than Apple's App Store, the Android Market might soon enough overtake Apple's option as the world's largest application marketplace. Earlier this year, Kevin Mahaffey, the CTO of mobile security firm, told CNET in an interview that given Android's growth, it should surpass the App Store by the middle of next year. Between August and February alone, the number of Android Market apps available to U.S. users alone increased by 127 percent, according to Lookout.Microsoft isn't too concerned about the number of apps available in its marketplace. The company's Brandon Watson said in the blog post that for Microsoft, it's a matter of &quot;quality over quantity.&quot; Its app tally does not include &quot;lite apps,&quot; and it doesn't &quot;double and triple count apps which are submitted in multiple languages.&quot;More than anything, Watson said in his post, Microsoft is &quot;dedicated to evolving the platform to enable more developers to create amazing apps' more possibilities, more functionality, more customers and more markets.&quot;So far, there are 36,000 developers creating apps for Windows Phone 7. Out of all the registered developers, 40 percent have actually brought a program to Microsoft's mobile platform.Market researcher IDC expects Microsoft's Windows Phone 7/Windows Mobile operating systems to account for 5.5 percent of smartphone shipments this year, well behind Android, Apple's iOS, BlackBerry, and Symbian. But by 2015, IDC forecasts, Microsoft's share will jump to about 20 percent.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The Timbuk2 Pop-Up case, which is designed for both the iPad and iPad 2, is due to ship in July for $39.(Credit:Timbuk2)With a lot of people buying Apple's magnetic Smart Cover to go along with their newiPad 2's, many iPad accessory case makers are starting to tout the ability of their sleeve-style cases to accommodate the iPad 2 with that Smart Cover left on. The idea, of course, is that when you travel, you'll want a little more protection for your precious Appletablet, and the sleeve is the perfect way to completely cover your iPad 2.Timbuk2's upcoming Pop-Up case is kind of a hybrid sleeve/hard case, with a rigid front for added protection, and a faux fur lining on the inside. As its name implies, it's also designed to allow you to prop up your iPad--whichever model you have--and be used as a viewing stand. Alas, this Timbuk2 case isn't due out until July, but we'd thought we'd give you a sneak peek at it. The Pop-Up will retail for $39 and come in multiple colors.The Pop-Up can also be used as a viewing stand for your iPad or iPad 2.(Credit:Timbuk2)More: Ultimate iPad 2 case roundup<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Microsoft has warned that hackers are targeting a zero-day flaw that affects all Windows operating systems.  The flaw, which was first highlighted by Microsoft in an advisory in January, allows an attacker to inject a client-side script into the response to a request made by Internet Explorer. The script could allow a hacker to compromise the user--by performing actions online that appear to have originated from the user' by stealing information from the user' or by otherwise trying to fool them. The company updated its January security advisory on Friday, saying that it had seen attacks in the wild.

<description><![CDATA[Samsung Gem(Credit:Samsung)Samsung spilled details about a new Android handset on its Web site today, though it conveniently left out any carrier or release information. But no fear, as the device's model number tells us quite a bit.The SCH-i100, or Samsung Gem, should be headed to Verizon Wireless or U.S. Cellular. We know that by the &quot;SCH&quot; in its model number. In contrast, anything with &quot;SPH&quot; would go to Sprint and any &quot;SGH&quot; models would land at T-Mobile or Verizon Wireless.On the Gem's outside we have a candy bar design with a 3.2-inch touch screen. There are a few navigation controls just below, but you'll need to use a virtual keyboard with Swype for your messaging needs. Inside you'll find Bluetooth, a 3.2-megapixel camera, an 800Mhz processor, a microSD card slot, and Samsung's Social hub interface. It all runs on Android 2.1 Eclair, which is disappointing considering we've had Froyo for six months.(Via Phonescoop)<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>
