Free Android apps often secretly make calls, use the camera

How have they tested 1.7million apps on the android app store when Google only just announced it has 700,000 apps on its books?

Time to axe Microsoft's Zune

Shane O'Connor

Hang on a a sec

Im a Zune owner in the UK. First off, its a great product, I got rid of my iPod to use this. Its just easier to use. Its cheaper. Looks smarter. The interface was, in iterations, getting better.

Microsofts only problem was in not releasing the Zune outside of the US. Ive never been a fan of iTunes, the zune software is slicker in my books. My only great annoyance is not being able to log in because I cant agree to the terms and conditions lol because Im out side of the US.

The technology behind the Zune is sound, I love mine. £120 for a top quality 80Gb Music and Video player is not to be sniffed at. Zune is failing because of the idiots managing its marketing. Its not the Zune that needs axing, its the management.
