Android with new security problems!!!

Currently there is a new securityhole in Android. If a Android device logs in a wlan access point, the attacker is be able to get access to your calender, contacts or in your picture folder. I don't want to scare you. There must be serveral factors. Factor #1: the attacker must be logged in the same access point like you are. For instance in an opened access point  in a coffee shop.

Samsung Galaxy S : Gingerbread available again!

Two weeks ago Samsung delivered Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) for Galaxy S. For unknown reasons Google stopped this update. After the delivery stop there were two questions.
