http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=l7T3sp8Y-ho#! We just saw what could be our first look at more than just the About phone screen of Android 4.3. A Nexus 4 running a build of Android 4.3 was spotted at a mobile expo in Thailand, and apparently someone took a video of the new camera app! The app retains the same gesture of… Read more
https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=0s-_JwPH0xs HTC has been in the cell phone game for quite a while, even before the term “smartphone” was commonly used. They have made a lot of devices, and plenty of them were innovative. They made phones with keyboards, touch screens, and even the first 3G Windows Mobile smartphone. They’ve also… Read more
We recently had a giveaway for the famous HTC One, and we have a winner! We asked you to tell us what your favorite feature is on the One, and how you’d use it, in 20 words or less. His response was, “My favorite feature is the ZOE camera mode. I am going to make the best cat .gifs ever seen!” Very clever, but now he owes us those .gifs. Here is… Read more
We’ve heard pretty much nothing about Android 4.3 aside from it being confirmed by some sources, along with a June 10th release date (that’ll also bring a white Nexus 4). Now we finally get to see a little more detail! This Nexus 4, running what looks to be a legitimate build of Android 4.3, was found at a mobile expo in Thailand. It has a kernel built… Read more
It was rumored that at Google I/O, there would be an announcement for a new Gmail app for Android. Unfortunately, Google had no such announcement in store for us. But they did sneak in a screenshot of the new Gmail upp during their session “Structure in Android App Design.” How kind of them! Looking about 23 minutes in, it shows an example of the… Read more
AT&T and Verizon are pure evil: They are the only two carriers in the world to lock down their Samsung Galaxy S 4 models. This would generally mean that extensive software modifications would be impossible, but thanks to some amazing developers, that is no longer the case! If you remember, back when the AT&T Galaxy S 4 was released, a man by the… Read more
There is a new feature rolling out to users that will allow you to see information from Google Drive, Calendar, and other things from Google when searching from Gmail.

As we all know, AT&T and Verizon tragically and maliciously locked the bootloaders of their Galaxy S 4 models. We don’t know why Samsung is letting these carriers walk all over them, but that’s how it is. However, to compensate, Samsung is releasing developer editions of these two models. These devices are virtually identical to the originals, with the… Read more
Traveling. It’s something that we’ve all been a part of. Whether it’s a short day-trip, a two-month business trip, or a week-long vacation, it’s traveling. But as time has gone on, we’ve further incorporated technology into the way we travel. Satellite internet is available all throughout the air and oceans, televisions can be found in any hotel room,… Read more
The HTC First was released with a lot riding on it. It was HTC’s only other current gen device released, aside from the HTC One, and it was their second attempt at a Facebook phone. The partnership with Facebook apparently didn’t work out, as many say Facebook Home was supposed to be delayed to give the HTC First time to sell with an “exclusive” piece… Read more
Being a Verizon customer has been quite eventful, huh? Not only did the network deny its customers the popular HTC One, but when all the other carriers released the Samsung Galaxy S 4, Verizon had only announced pre-orders and a release date that was over a month away. Luckily, Verizon pushed that release date forward a week, and today is the day it… Read more
