VYou brings video Q&A service to Android phones

Video Q&A startup VYou is massively extending its reach with the release Monday of an Android app. That app, which follows the release of an iPhone app (aapl) last September, could greatly increase the number of mobile users VYou can attract.

VYou is built around the idea of submitting and answering questions via video, putting a real voice and a face behind those people who provide their opinions through the service. It gives users a few short minutes to provide replies, which are viewable by all users. With recent updates, it also gave users the ability to create status updates and provide their own responses to questions that are posed to other users. All of these features have been aimed at building a community around sharing via video.

Developers can steal photos off Android phones via flaw

After finding a similar flaw in iOS devices, the New York Times looked into a similar,  potential flaw for Android devices.  They found one.

It seems work if a particular app has permission to access the Internet, it is capable of uploading photos right off your phone without your permission or knowledge.  This was successfully tested by an App developer who was able to take the most recent photo from the victim’s phone and upload it to a photo sharing site.

A Google spokesman explained that because the gallery had to be open when photos are stored on the microSD card, access had to remain simple so that the photos could be removed easily should the memory card be replaced or moved to another device.  Although the potential security flaw hasn’t been fixed, Google is already considering placing more security for photo access.

Until that happens, take care when downloading apps from third party app sites.
