Google's Android has effectively overtaken Apple's iOS in terms of 
worldwide tablet sales. According to research conducted by<a href="http://askneed.blogspot.com/2014/03/googles-android-has-effectively.html" target="_blank"> Gartner </a>last 
month, Android tablets <a href="http://askneed.blogspot.com/2014/03/googles-android-has-effectively.html" target="_blank">collectively dominated</a> the tablet market in 2013 with sales of 120.9 million units and a market share of 61.9 percent.<br />

Compared with the year 2012, when 53.3 million Android tablets were 
sold, 2013 witnessed a whopping 127 percent surge in worldwide sales of 
Android tablets. Over the same period, iPad sales grew to 70.4 million 
from 61.4 million.<br />

The dramatic boost in sales from several different<a href="http://askneed.blogspot.com/2014/03/googles-android-has-effectively.html" target="_blank"> manufacturers</a> had 
Android gaining the largest share in the tablet market. While Android's 
market share grew from 45.8 percent in 2012 to 61.9 percent in 2013, 
iOS's market share dropped from 52.8 percent to 36 <a href="http://askneed.blogspot.com/2014/03/googles-android-has-effectively.html" target="_blank">percent </a>during the 
same period.<br />

Increased demand for low-cost tablets from <a href="http://askneed.blogspot.com/2014/03/googles-android-has-effectively.html" target="_blank">off-brand</a> manufacturers 
especially in the emerging markets had a negative effect on Apple's 
market share. While overall tablet sales grew by 145 percent in emerging
 countries, the figure stood still at 31 percent in mature markets.<br />

The <a href="http://askneed.blogspot.com/2014/03/googles-android-has-effectively.html" target="_blank">iPad</a> remains the most sought after tablet nonetheless and with that
 Apple retained its spot as the <a href="http://askneed.blogspot.com/2014/03/googles-android-has-effectively.html" target="_blank">top tablet</a> maker, followed by Samsung, 
which reported 37.4 million in sales, and had a market share of 19.1 
percent. The South Korean company showed a <a href="http://askneed.blogspot.com/2014/03/googles-android-has-effectively.html" target="_blank">phenomenal</a> growth last year 
compared with 2012, when it sold just 8.5 million tablets.<br />

As we previously saw when <a href="http://askneed.blogspot.com/2014/03/android-and-ios-made-up-for-957-of.html" target="_blank">IDC </a>reported that smartphone shipments hit the 1 billion mark, Samsung dominated shipments followed by <a href="http://askneed.blogspot.com/2014/03/android-and-ios-made-up-for-957-of.html" target="_blank">Motorola</a> and <a href="http://askneed.blogspot.com/2014/03/android-and-ios-made-up-for-957-of.html" target="_blank">Huawei</a> once again pushing Android shipment growth well ahead of iOS.<br />

Although<a href="http://askneed.blogspot.com/2014/03/android-and-ios-made-up-for-957-of.html" target="_blank"> Apple's </a>mobile platform continued its positive trend, it 
experienced the lowest shipment growth at 6.7% for the quarter and 12.9%

It's been only days since Apple fixed the wide spread <a href="http://askneed.blogspot.com/2014/02/apps-can-track-keystrokes-becz-iphone.html" target="_blank">iOS</a> security flaw that made <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" target="_blank">headlines</a>, and now <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" target="_blank">another issue</a> has surfaced. A network security company has spotted another hole that is allowing malicious software to watch your every move.
<br />
Security firm<a href="http://askneed.blogspot.com/2014/02/apps-can-track-keystrokes-becz-iphone.html" target="_blank"> FireEye</a> spotted the issue and was able to get a dummy app
 onto the App Store to prove it, a technique many security groups use as
 proof of concept. The particular security flaw at hand, which is 
present on the newest version of <a href="http://askneed.blogspot.com/2014/02/apps-can-track-keystrokes-becz-iphone.html" target="_blank">iOS</a>, allows for apps to track your 
keystrokes made possible by<a href="http://askneed.blogspot.com/2014/02/apps-can-track-keystrokes-becz-iphone.html" target="_blank"> iOS</a> 7's multitasking features. The process 
will track your moves while running as a background process, potentially
 without the users knowledge.<br />
FireEye explained its proof of concept app further saying this 
"monitoring app can record all the user touch/press events in the 
background, including touches on the screen, home button press, volume 
button press and TouchID press, and then this app can send all user 
events to any remote server," the company explained. It goes on to say 
that it was able to exploit this vulnerability on<a href="http://askneed.blogspot.com/2014/02/apps-can-track-keystrokes-becz-iphone.html" target="_blank"> iOS</a> 7.0.4 as well as<a href="http://askneed.blogspot.com/2014/02/apps-can-track-keystrokes-becz-iphone.html" target="_blank"> 
iOS</a> 7.0.5, 7.0.6 and 6.1.x.<br />
Fortunately from the sounds of it, this security flaw can only be 
exploited when you download something you shouldn't. While we are 
waiting for <a href="http://askneed.blogspot.com/2014/02/apps-can-track-keystrokes-becz-iphone.html" target="_blank">Apple</a> to patch things up, reports say that even if something
 does hit your system in this way, it can be easily rectified by paying 
close attention to your background processes and then ditching anything 
shady.
