The folks at Symantec have tipped everyone off about a new piece of Android Malware, calling Android.Counterclank “a bot-like threat that can receive commands to carry out certain actions, as well as steal information from the device.” They note that starting one of the apps “infected” with the apperhand SDK package will show a second service running, and often places a search icon on the home screen. They have verified this is in 13 applications on the Android Market and are calling it “the highest distribution of any malware identified so far this year.” Some reports on the internet claim it may have affected 5 million users. That’s 5,000,000 — a huge and scary number. And it makes for a great headline.

Delta Air Lines’ Fly Delta Android app has long been one of the first things I install on a phone. It’s well-designed, and has added a couple killer features since its release nearly a year ago — mainly the ability to view upgrade/standby lists and check and change seats from your phone, and more recently they added the ability to track your checked baggage. Good stuff.

Jon Rubinstein, the former CEO of Palm, has left HP. AllThingsD broke the news Friday afternoon, noting that Rubinstein had served his promised 12-24 month tenure with the company before leaving. “Jon has fulfilled his commitment and we wish him well,” HP spokeswoman Mylene Mangalindan told AllThingsD. Rubinstein led the team responsible for the original iPod and left Apple in 2006 to eventually join Palm as CEO in 2009. While at Palm, Rubinstein was responsible for, among other projects, the development of the Palm Pre and Palm’s webOS mobile operating system, both of which were transferred to HP in 2010 When it acquired Palm for $1.2 billion. HP has since open-sourced the mobile operating system after failing to gain traction with its Pre, Pixi, Veer and TouchPad products.
