Anti-virus experts warned about a new virus which affects smartphones based on Google Android operating system named Geinimi. Many Android based smartphones in China reported to be affected by this new virus.

As per security experts this is the first major virus targeting Android platform after Google released the OS in 2008.

Android version 1.0 was released in Sep 2008 and after that it  went through many major changes and versions like 1.5 (Cupcake), 1.6 (Donut), 2.0 and 2.1 (Éclair), 2.2 (Froyo) and the latest stable version is Gingerbread 2.3.1. New version Honeycomb is scheduled to release by March 2011.

Once the Android phone is affected by the Geinimi virus/malware then the hacker can take control of the mobile phone and steal important user data.

More and more companies are working hard to bring Android based tablets. Motorola’s Android honeycomb based tablet is expected to showcase first in CES 2011.

Motorola has not yet officially announced the name of the new tablet but Droid Life reports that is is going to be Motorola DROID XOOM.

Meanwhile Pocketnow.com reported that HTC registered a trademark application for HTC Scribe and most probably this is going  to be the name of upcoming HTC Android Tablet which also expected to be showcased at CES 2011.
