A few days ago came the news that  Microsoft statement about Windows Phone has support NFC technology. Head of Microsoft products in the United Kingdom Will Coleman in a discussion last Friday declared if Windows Phone already support NFC. WP7 Software has supported this wireless technology, but of course the WP7 phone manufacturers should applies NFC in your phone. But on Windows Phone handset currently  there none has the main supporter of the NFC, or even in Nokia series of Lumia.

Today Microsoft is forced to issue a statement to confirm the error of Coleman comment and hope this issue is sorted out. Microsoft spokesman's statement to the WinRumors is:

Microsoft would like to correct a previous statement about technology Near Field Communication.Although the NFC now have not supported Windows Phone 7.5, but support it will come soon. We expect Windows Phone devices with NFC will arrive next year.
A new rumor suggests that Microsoft will bring the NFC features to Windows Phone 8 platform (codename Apollo) which will arrive in the middle of next year. The source of the rumour also States new details about the mobile phone Nokia flagship, Lumia 900.


Microsoft strategy to offers free Windows Phone handsets to the users affected Android malware attacks  has been found on Twitter some time ago. This Microsoft promo was stated by Ben Rudolph through Twitter with the DroidRage. He write a request for  Android users malware affected to tell the story of their malware, and they could have won the phone for replacement windows.


We can tell that Microsoft marketing strategy seems like what Samsung did to iPhone when first generation of iPhone 4 got antenna gate, Samsung via Twitter also offered the same thing to iPhone 4 user . We think this have something to do with malware on Android application called RuFraud. 

This malware  will send a short message service to a premium number so it charges so high. This RuFraud malware targeting Android users in Europe, Asia and other markets outside North America. This malware offering wallpapers art from famous movies, horoscope reading and popular games for android user. The good news is that  recently Google has remove RuFraud malware from Android market to anticipate the spread to another countries. 

This situation can only get worse with a report from Juniper Global Threat Center, which states that there is an increase of 472% of malware since last July. According to researchers, Google is not too tighten screening applications so that more potential malwares slip into to the Android Market. We can say that Android OS also has even defeat the Nokia Symbian OS mobile as the most targeted malware. So from now on malware hackers are pointing their target to Android OS.
