Intel seems to have finally got hold of the bigger fish – Samsung. As per the latest benchmark results that have surfaced in GFXbench database, Samsung is using the Intel Atom Z2560 Clover Trail+ dual-core processor in its new 10-inch tablet. Carrying the model number GT-P5200, the tablet has been code-named Santos, the same codename that we had heard in the past associated with Samsung’s rumoured 10-inch tablet. The benchmark listing also reveals the processor will be clocked at 1.6GHz and will come with PowerVR SGX 544 MP2 GPU. Other features of the tablet will include 10.1-inch WXGA (1280×800) display and Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean. Apart from the GT-P5200 listing, a benchmark listing for GT-P5210 has also been spotted, which is going to be the Wi-Fi only version of the tablet. Other details were not confirmed in these benchmark listings but a previous report had suggested that this tablet will come with 5MP rear camera and 16/ 32GB of internal storage. Apart from the obvious tablet details leak, the presence of an Intel Atom processor in Samsung’s Android tablet is the more important news here. Intel has been struggling to get bigger manufacturers use its silicon in their Android products, however we recently saw Asus use Atom processor in Fonepad and now Samsung – seems like Intel’s smartphone/ tablet dream might finally come true.

Hello! I am a research student working on Android Security. I have been reading some research papers related to android malwares and all the research papers mention that most of the malware is developed by "repackaging" a benign binary. There have also been research papers to detect repackaged applications. Could someone please tell me what is .apk file repackaging

I'm not sure you saw my reply to myself.. but I did get it working on Ubuntu 12.10. I didn't realize that I didn't have OpenJDK installed. I had thought I did because the JRE package name had the letters "JDK" (OpenJDK). Once I installed the actual OpenJDK from the repos, Android Studio installed and worked, despite the warning message about using the OpenJDK

I added this line to the manifest: android:name="android.hardware .telephony" android:required="false" /> As far as I can tell, it made no difference. It still claims its not compatible with all tablets on Google Play. Thanks.

Is Google working on another Nexus Q like media streamer? The evidence seems to suggest that. As a mystery Google hardware device marked as a media player has appeared on FCC for certification. At any given point of time, Google is tinkering with multiple hardware devices, which are not necessarily meant for full release, so this is in no way a confirmation of the impending arrival of Google Nexus Q successor, but we won’t be surprised if it indeed turns out to be a real deal. Details are scarce at this moment. The FCC listing shows the device carrying product name – H840 device, which doesn’t really reveal anything. In other details, the model number is listed at H2G2-42, a reference of Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, which too does mean anything. The FCC listing does show this media player featuring Wi-Fi a/b/g/n connectivity and a USB port. Apart from that we are still in dark. To remind you, the company’s first attempt at a media streamer – Nexus Q, turned out to be a failure. While, the device looked beautiful and had a nice build quality but it lacked in features. It also carried a hefty price tag, which really didn’t justify anything. After keeping it on pre-order for some time, the company removed the listing, saying it is going to improve it. So, the question arises whether H840 device is an improved version of Nexus Q or just a hardware experiment from Google. We hope to know more in the coming days. via | source

Regarding the I/O - Until you verify it, it's all conjuncture :) Regarding caching the DB - A lot of system do cache portions of the DB, some DB systems are actually memory based.... so nothing special there, it all depands on the purpose of the database.. not all of them are for storage purposes.. i just never checked if SQLite on android attempts to
