The iPad has gone viral. Literally. PC-using iPad owners have been targeted with a new virus. This one is disguised as an iTunes update that offers better “performance, newer features and security”, but the download is actually malware designed to collect all of your sensitive personal information.

Identified by BitDefender as Backdoor.Bifrose.AADY, the piece of malicious code inadvertently downloaded injects itself into the explorer.exe process and opens up a backdoor that allows unauthorised access to and control over the affected system.

LG is all about Android. They’ve just announced two new handsets running on the Google platform. The LG LU2300 and SU950/KU9500 are the new kids on the block. They look pretty sleek too.

The specs are pretty impressive and include 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon CPUs, 3.5-inch AMOLED 800×480 touchscreen displays, Dolby mobile surround sound, terrestrial DMB, Wi-Fi and GPS with 5-megapixel cameras.

TomTom has introduced their latest GPS navigation, the Go Live 1000, which uses a capacitive touchscreen. The interface was given a makeover to make it easier when using it, and you’ll also get a web browser engine capable of running both Chrome and Safari.

Those in Europe can benefit from a 1-year cellular-driven access plan from Vodafone, with live traffic, local searching and speed camera detection. IQ Routes will let you know where to take a detour. The device is powered by a 500MHz ARM11 chip and 128MB RAM.

The new VIA VIPRO range of fanless touch screen panel PCs look pretty bulky and not very sexy at all, but come equipped with a 6.5″ VIA VIPRO VP7806, and if that’s too small, there’s the 15″ VIA VIPRO VP7815.

These are made using the flexible and modular Em-ITX form factor, and could be the perfect solution for the latest HMI applications. Both VIA VIPRO devices are fan-less and pretty tough, with IP65 compliant LED backlit panels which are capable of working in extreme temperatures from -200C to 600C.

There’s nothing new abut a watch with flash memory in it, but the USB Memory Watch concept looks cooler than most and stands out from the crowd. The USB port on the end of the watch is retractable, so it won’t get in the way when you need to use it.

Plus, we like the face on this one, which features a visual indicator of just how much storage space is left on the watch, uh drive. It just plain looks awesome.

McAfee has had some problems of late. A security update sent Windows XP computers everywhere crashing down in a way that has never happened before with anti-virus software. Now it’s time for the company to take some steps to make it up to their customers.

It isn’t cool or convenient for kids to check their blood glucose levels normally, but kids love videogames, so Bayer’s Didget is the perfect solution. It’s based on the company’s Contour glucose meter, but instead of connecting by USB it’s shaped like a Game Boy cartridge, which let’s kids put it into a Nintendo DS or DS Lite.

Kids can upload their scores to a custom game to unlock new characters and items, but the One problem with this plan is that it isn’t compatible with the DSi or the XL, so it is already obsolete.

Most of us don’t really think about how large the companies that we commonly buy computer gear from really are. We know firms like Dell and Apple are massive but hardware companies like Corsair and OCZ are relatively small.

Corsair is set to go public with an IPO at an unspecified date. The exact price Corsair will ask for its common stock shares is also unknown. What is known is that the company is looking to raise $86.3 million in funds.

I learned watching MacGyver as a kid that a Swiss Army knife can turn a single person into an entire army. I have had Swiss Army knives before, but I always lose them or forget to put them in my pocket.

The iPad keyboard dock is nice, but one of the downsides is that you have to use the device in portrait mode, which might not be your favorite position, especially since everyone is used to their widescreen notebook.

Well, now you can use it in landscape mode by adding a dock extender cable, allowing you to attach the keyboard and still maintain the landscape orientation that you like. What do you think? Do you want to do this with your iPad?

Check out this interesting screenshot of a notification pop up appearing in the iPhone OS 4.0. Keep in mind, this could be nothing more than an error or a hoax, but it’s just possible that it’s a landscape home screen on the iPhone.

And why not? The iPad offers it when running the iPhone OS 3.2, and jailbroken iPhones can do it. What do you think? Do you want a landscape home screen in iPhone OS 4.0?
