An iOS security exploit, unveiled by security researcher Charlie Miller, allows an app to download and execute unsigned code from a remote unknown server.

Motorola Droid RAZR gets reviewed, or the big Verizon iPhone 4S competitor for today!

By Rene Ritchie, Monday, Nov 7, 2011 a 4:06 pm

Phil Nickinson from Android Central has put together a complete Motorola Droid RAZR for your reading -- and viewing -- pleasure. How does it stack up against the Verizon iPhone 4S, not to mention the 300 million other Android phones released this week?

It's fast, it's thin, it's got a gorgeous high-resolution display, and it's running the most recent version of Android available (at least for a few more weeks). Motorola has already promised an update to Ice Cream Sandwich. Good camera, and has Verizon 4G LTE data.

May be too large for some; is about the widest phone we've used. Battery can't be removed. Full of preloaded apps that you might or might not actually want.
