© Swathi Moorthy Apple and Google team up on virus 'contact tracing' by smartphone Google and Apple unveiled a joint initiative on Friday to use smartphones to trace coronavirus contacts to battle the pandemic. The move brings together the largest mobile operating systems in an effort to use smartphone technology to track and potentially contain the global COVID-19 outbreak.

The tech giants will collaborate on a "contact tracing" system which can identify people in contact with an infected person and alert users. "All of us at Apple and Google believe there has never been a more important moment to work together to solve one of the world's most pressing problems," the companies said in a joint statement.

Once upon a time we weren't bothered that the things we carry around with us -- phones, keys, earbuds -- are a hellstew of bacteria. Then coronavirus showed up, and we learned the importance of basic hygiene again. Tests show that using a UV sanitizer is one of the best ways of the method of cleaning a smartphone, and accessory maker Totallee has unveiled a new UV phone sanitizer with a twist. Must read: Don't make all the same Zoom meeting mistakes the UK government did The UV sanitizer is powered by dual, ultraviolet lights that kill harmful germs and bacteria on your cell phone, keys, wallet, AirPods and more.

How about a smartphone with dual camera and a $109 price tag? Thanks Samsung.

If the idea of spending $1,000 or more for a new top of the line Samsung phone rubs you the wrong way, may we interest you in a model from the same company for $109.99?  Samsung announced Wednesday a new line of low-priced entry-level phones with specs that rival the best phones from two or three years ago, with a range that begins at just over $100 and go up to $500.  What's the catch? Lower-resolution screens, less power and no access to modern features, such as wireless charging.  For many consumers looking for a low-cost phone to make calls, send texts, have access to email and the internet, this may be all they need.  The entry-level phone Galaxy A01 has a 5.7-inch screen, comes with a very small storage of 16 GB and has the same camera of older phones, one on the front for selfies and another on the back.  The A01 is the successor to last year's A10E, which sold for $159.99, had a 5.8-inch screen and more storage with 32 GB. The phone was sold in the U.S. but not marketed...

Crazy new smartphone app listens to your cough to diagnose coronavirus

Scientists built a web-based app that listens to your voice and the sound of your cough to determine the likelihood that you have a coronavirus infection.  The app is still experimental and isn't ready to be used on a wide scale, but it shows promise as a potential early screening tool for the future.  Lack of testing across the United States and the world at large has forced many countries to ration test kits or avoid using them in cases where they otherwise might.  Visit BGR's homepage for more stories. Want to know if you have coronavirus? Just cough at a microphone on your iPhone or Android. It sounds silly, but that's the idea behind a new experimental app built by researchers at Carnegie Mellon University. With the help of artificial intelligence, the app analyzes the sound of your cough (assuming you have that symptom) and other vocalizations to determine whether or not you sound sick with COVID-19. ...
