Google Nexus Prime Concept Design Looks Amazing
We know that the next Android smartphone from Google, will be the Google Nexus Prime, which is being made by Samsung for Google, and we have already heard some of the specifications on the Google Nexus Prime.
The Google Nexus Prime is rumored to feature a dual core TI OMAP 4460 processor, plus a 8 megapixel camera on the back and a 2 megapixel camera on the front for video chat, we don’t as yet have any official pictures of the Nexus Prime, but these concepts look amazing.
We have no idea if the Google Nexus Prime will look anything like these concept designs which were designed by the guys over at Ciccaresedesign, but we do know that it will come with Android Ice Cream Sandwich and it is expected to launch either this month or next month.

Some HTC Android Smartphones May Have Massive Security Hole
It would appear that some of HTC’s Android smartphones may have a major security hole, according to a recent report by Trevor Eckhart and the guys over at Android Police.
According to the report, the security hole may be in certain HTC devices which have been updated to the latest version of HTC’s Sense user interface, and could grant apps with Internet permission access to your private data like text messages and location information.
Some of the devices which are reported to be effected include the HTC EVO 4G, EVO 3D, Thunderbolt, Evo Shift 4G, MyTouch 4G Slide and possibly some models of the HTC Sensation.
It would appear HTC hasn’t released any official statement with regards to the alleged vulnerabilities as yet, you can find out more information over at Android Police.
