SlashGear Evening Wrap-Up: January 27, 2012

As we wrap up the last full work week of January, we saw a large chunk of mobile news today. For instance, watch your back when you’ve got an Android device for the reason that Android Market is having its largest malware infection ever. If the iPhone is more your style, but you’re stuck on T-Mobile, you are pleased to understand that the magenta-colored carrier plans to begin boosting unlocked iPhone support on the end of the month.

Featured: Don’t miss our review of LG’s newest Verizon 4G LTE phone, the Spectrum. Also, in case you are into cool automotive technology, you need to take a look at our hands-on report of Mercedez-Benz’s tricked-out new mbrace2 platform. It’s pretty dope. And if that won’t enough Mercedez-Benz goodness for you, we also took a ride with an interior idea that is pretty mind-boggling.

Gaming: The PlayStation Vita launch is lower than a month away and today we learned information about what bundled goodies to expect when the predicted device finally goes on sale. Take a look at the small print here. Our Chris Burns also took a glance at how Steam’s emerging mobile platform might capture a full new audience.

Other Stuff: For all you science nerds, here’s a fascinating piece – NEOShield international asteroid threat-reduction group forming now. We also found a scoop on a mysterious ZTE tablet that was outed by the FCC. If iPad news is more your style, take a look at this: Blue Spark Digital condenser microphone for iPad revealed and detailed.

It’s been a hectic day, but we’ll be back on Monday night for an additional roundup of the most effective stories of the day the following on Slashgear.
