Can #Estimote Be Hacked? Yes It Can - For Now


Take the #CES #Scavenger_Hunt ? an #iBeacon event that?s getting a lot of attention because of its association with the major consumer electronics show of the year. Here?s a use case that doesn?t need a lot of security ? it?s meant to be fun, there?s not much at stake, and giving some backdoors to industrious coders might not be such a bad thing.

But the same authors also ?hacked? the CES app ? completing the Scavenger Hunt without even getting on a plane to Vegas. Hardly a world-breaking security issue and actually of a completely different nature from the #Estimote work.

#Apple Releases #iBeacon Specification


iBeacons are physical #Bluetooth low-energy transmitters that use Apple’s iBeacon API to provide micro-location information to nearby apps and devices, with an accuracy range of a few feet. iBeacons are compatible with Apple’s #iPhones and #iPads , as well as other devices that use #BLE , and have thus far been used primarily by retailers and other venues to provide location-specific information.

In order to use the iBeacon name, manufacturers now need to have their devices approved by Apple as part of the #MFi program, similar to accessories and hardware for #iOS devices. Using the term iBeacon requires manufacturers to meet specific criteria, which are only available after a non-disclosure agreement has been signed.

Beacons And #iBeacons Create A New Market. What They Are, How They Work, And Why Apple's iBeacon Technology Is Ahead Of The Pack


To state the obvious: Modern, smartphone-toting humans spend most of their time indoors.
But indoor spaces often block cell signals and also make it nearly impossible to locate devices via #GPS . #Beacons are a solution.

Resistance Is Futile: #Apple And #Google Are Going To Track Your #Location No Matter What


A recent study by push notification company Urban Airship says that

60% to 80% of users share their location with apps.



According to a report from Android Police, Google is working on a service called "Nearby" with features similar to those of Apple's #iBeacon , a #Bluetooth powered location-tracking system now catching on with retailers and other commercial outfits. Google's #Nearby would let your #Android smartphone communicate with other devices in its area by proximity alone.

Nearby lets you connect, share, and do more with people, places, and things near you.

When Nearby is turned on for your account, Google can periodically turn on the mic, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and similar features on all your current and future devices. Google+ and other Google services need this access to help you connect, share, and more.

When you turn on Nearby, you're also turning on Location History for your account and Location Reporting for this device. Google needs these services to periodically store your location data for use by Nearby, other Google services, and more.

#Qualcomm spins off its #Gimbal Bluetooth beacon biz into a separate company


Qualcomm only started selling Gimbal, its take on #Apple #iBeacon , in December, but just a few months later it has decided to let the Bluetooth proximity beacon fend for itself as part of a separate company. Qualcomm said Wednesday it has found third-party investors for its Gimbal business and will spin it off into an independent company called Gimbal Inc., though it will remain a ?substantial? investor.

Tiny Tycoons iBeacon Demo


#iBeacon #game demo at a Starbucks location. The game named #TinyTycoons might not be the first #BLEBeacon based game but with allowing any iOS device to become a beacon, density of beacons will be substantial.

Apple's #iBeacons explained: What it is and why it matters


iBeacons is a brand name created by #Apple for a specific technology. That technology allows mobile apps to recognise when an iPhone is near a small wireless sensor called a beacon (or iBeacons, as well). The beacon can transmit data to an iPhone - and visa versa - using Bluetooth Low Energy (#BLE ). iBeacon is a feature in #iOS7 , thus Apple's new iPhones will have iBeacon.
