It’s really strange how absent the LG Optimus G has been from the European market. Here in the US, we’ve had it for months. And to make it even worse, LG might announce the Optimus G Pro fairly soon. However, all hope is not lost. The OG is finally coming to Europe, starting in Sweden, before the end of the month. Not only is it launching in Europe,… Read more
One problem I’ve always had with Gmail is that I have to leave the compose screen when I take a look at other emails. Gmail’s interface is a bit archaic in some ways, and this is one of them. Despite not liking Yahoo Mail, their tab-based system works a lot better. Google seems to understand that, so they’ve redesigned the compose interface. Instead… Read more
This is a good day for T-Mobile HTC One S owners. They’re getting an update, and it’s a big one. It doesn’t change the Android version significantly (from Android 4.0.3 to 4.0.4, still Ice Cream Sandwich), but it does change the version of HTC’s skin, up to Sense 4.1.

After the AT&T One X got an update, the international model is getting the same one. Along with a new but minor version of Android and some camera improvements, the multitasking button is getting a… Read more
HTC One X and HTC One S owners are by and large, very happy with their devices as the reviews steadily streaming in are often glowing for HTC’s newest hardware line. One “tweak” that is causing a bit of a rebellion is how Sense 4 handles multitasking. The most obvious change is the aesthetic part which presents a horizontally scrolling list of… Read more
Owners of HTC’s One X have noticed something interesting, as multitasking does not appear to be sticking true to Android 4.0. The One X runs Sense 4 on top of Ice Cream Sandwich, and features a different system of multitasking from stock Android. A vanilla version of the little green robot normally has vertically scrolling panels to the different apps… Read more
