A group of HTC Android phones is susceptible to an exploit that can steal Wi-Fi credentials and passwords and send them to attackers.

Struggling Eastman Kodak is alleging that Apple's and HTC's smartphones and tablets infringe on its digital imaging technology, and has filed a complaint and lawsuits with the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) and the U.S. District Court for the Western District of New York, it said on Tuesday.

Got a smartphone? Then Carrier IQ's software may be logging everything you do on it. Better start praying it won't get hacked.

HTC, makers of many modern Android phones, introduced a giant security hole with a recent update. How big is this hole? Big enough to leak users accounts, email addresses, GPS locations, and system logs.

HTC added two apps in recent updates to some Android phones; one gathers almost all the data the phone has on its user and offers it to any app that connects to the Internet, which is every app. The other lets strangers control the phone remotely; HTC still hasn't explained why.

As part of the Lawyer's Full Employment Act (only partly kidding), HTC has sued Apple for patent infringements, returning the favor of Apple's earlier lawsuits. But HTC got these patents from Google, who got them from Motorola, Palm, and OpenWave Systems.

HTC plans to release an SDK for Sense, the user interface it features on Android phones.

HTC has posted a new promotional video for its upcoming Android tablet, which will either be named the Flyer--its moniker in the video--or the smartphone-like Evo View 4G when it arrives this summer.

HTC has finally announced its first two smartphones to feature a 'Facebook' button.

Not all phones are revolutionary -- or need to be. Some, like the HTC EVO Shift 4G from Sprint, are worthy just because they fill an important gap in a product line.

The flood of 4G phones at CES 2011 started with the HTC EVO Shift 4G ($150 with a two-year contract from Sprint). Available January 9, the Shift 4G is a follow-up to last year's popular HTC EVO 4G, the first 4G phone on Sprint's WiMAX network is somewhat of a lesser version of its brother. If you are a keyboard addict and don't like the large size of the EVO 4G or the high price of the Samsung Epic 4G, the Shift 4G might appeal to you.
