Lookout launches business mobile security offering, teams up with Samsung KNOX Sep 4th 2013, 06:30, by Juan Carlos Torres Lookout, the makers of the popular security and antivirus app for Android and iOS, are seeking to expand their business, reaching out to enterprises and businesses to be their next frontier. And it will be getting some help from Samsung to break into that market. While a lot of end users usually neglect or totally ignore it, security and protection from malware is a very serious matter in the workplace. Especially with the increaase in the number of employers implementing a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) system, the risks of security exploits have risen as people use their personal devices at work or work devices for personal uses. Old security practices are no longer adequate to address these new situations, a gap that Lookout is seeking to fill. Lookout for Business is promising to protect mobile devices and networks from threats as well as ensure the safety of corporate devices and the sensitive data they may contain. Lookout is also partnering with Samsung to get included in the KNOX platform, Samsung’s end-to-end security solution aimed for devices not only in businesses but also in government offices as well. As part of that partnership, Lookout will come pre-installed in every Samsung KNOX device, adding to Lookout’s growing number of users which include 45 million users as well as mobile operators worldwide. Lookout’s business offering isn’t live yet, but the company is hoping to make Lookout for Business available later this year.

The new One Touch Idol Alpha is their brand new flagship 4.7-inch device, which is showcasing their new design direction with sleek curves and aluminum designs. We have all the details below. The One Touch Idol X was announced back at Mobile World Congress, and late last month they quietly unveiled the Idol S and Idol Mini, so the new Alpha is the latest in their 4 phone attack. The screen isn’t as big as the X, but here’s what we know so far. The Alcatel One Touch Idol Alpha (name is too long) is a pretty impressive phone with a 4.7-inch edge-to-edge 720p HD display, and the entire device is wrapped in a new stylish aluminum frame coming in at just 7.5mm thick. They’ve added a 1.2 GHz quad-core processor and 2GB of RAM, but no details on exactly what CPU, most likely a MediaTek. One of the most interesting aspects of the phone aside from the new aluminum design is the translucent edges. Both the top and bottom are assumed to be plastic, but protected by that aluminum frame. The top and bottom are completely see through and will illuminate for charging, while taking video, notifications, and more. This is a notification LED taken to a completely new level. I love the Nexus 4 notification LED, but this might be a bit much. The Alpha will come with Android 4.2 Jelly Bean and is expected to arrive in Q4 and be priced in the high-end range. We’ll report back with more details and hands-on shortly.
