| HTC should learn from Apple’s comeback Posted: 30 May 2013 02:17 PM PDT
It seems that 2013 is all about the tech giants that are struggling, or the tech giants that are enjoying an incredible amount of success. It’s funny how there’s hardly any company in between. Even funnier is that most of the tech giants that are struggling singlehandedly owned or invented these markets just a couple of years ago. Whether it’s Nokia, BlackBerry or HTC, we are all somewhat saddened by seeing how these great innovators just can’t figure it out. Albert Einstein once said: “The significant problems we face today cannot be solved at the same level ... The post HTC should learn from Apple’s comeback appeared first on Pocketnow. |
| This alleged HTC Android 4.3 update list is confounding Posted: 30 May 2013 03:03 PM PDT
Android 4.3 is very likely just around the corner, and while we’ve seen the platform running on Nexus devices, which is no big surprise, the more pertinent question may be which non-Google models will be seeing their own updates to 4.3 arrive. There’s a list going around which purports to reveal some of HTC’s update strategy, but we’ve got more than a few questions about just how accurate it may be. The list in question first surfaced nearly a week ... The post This alleged HTC Android 4.3 update list is confounding appeared first on Pocketnow. |
| In spite of “Google Editions,” formal Nexus lineup to continue Posted: 30 May 2013 12:55 PM PDT
Google’s Sundar Pichai is a regular fount of information as he participates in the D11 conference today; he’s already brought us news of the stock Android HTC One, as well as confirmed plans to bring All Access to Apple users. Now we’ve got one more new piece to add, with Pichai bringing word of how all these “Google Edition” devices will affect the Nexus lineup as we know it. When asked flat-out if in light of the stock Android ... The post In spite of “Google Editions,” formal Nexus lineup to continue appeared first on Pocketnow. |

A few days back we first heard the name T6, supposedly the internal designation by which HTC was developing a new Android phablet. While some evidence turned up that sure made the T6 seem real, and suggested that it could be coming to a number of different carriers, we didn’t really have all that much to go on. Some earlier rumors of an HTC phablet – back before we had even heard this codename – talked about a device with a display in the five-to-six-inch ...

In the mobile world, carrier exclusivity is a mixed bag. Sometimes, it results in a huge boon to both carrier and manufacturer: witness the astonishing heights to which the iPhone propelled AT&T after its exclusive debut on then-Cingular’s network in 2007. On other occasions, though, the mating of a device to a lone provider doesn’t work out as well – as the Sprint/Palm partnership proved with the Pre in 2009. The exclusive mating of Nokia’s Lumia 900 with AT&T resulted neither in runaway success nor dismal failure – but it’s easy to see how the ...

| Google Play Music All Access coming to iOS Posted: 30 May 2013 11:56 AM PDT
Earlier this month, Google introduced Google Play All Access during its I/O 2013 keynote. The service gives users the opportunity to access both custom streaming radio stations and on-demand track playback for about $10 a month – $8 if you get you subscription going before the end of June. That was cool if you were an Android user or just wanted to access the music over the web, but what about native support for other platforms? We’ve seen third-party work-arounds (really just dressing-up the ... The post Google Play Music All Access coming to iOS appeared first on Pocketnow. |
| Google Edition HTC One goes official: launches late June Posted: 30 May 2013 09:25 AM PDT
For the last few weeks, a Nexus-fied “Google Edition” HTC One has been the rumor that just wouldn’t die. HTC initially shot it down, but its momentum just couldn’t be stopped, and we heard voice after voice insist it really was on the way. While we hoped to get to the bottom of the story sooner or later, it turns out that the truth just wasn’t ready to wait, and today ...

| Pocketnow Weekly 046: Tablet Z vs TouchPad Go, and other tech podcast tomfoolery Posted: 30 May 2013 08:45 AM PDT
We had an interesting bit of synchronicity crop up in the offices of Pocketnow -and in the recording studios of our weekly tech podcast- this week: we’re simultaneously in possession of one of the thinnest, newest tablets in the world – and one of the clunkiest, oldest ones. The interesting part about the latter: it never officially existed. We’ll talk about that, plus rumors of yet another mini-Galaxy that ain’t bashful about skimping on specs, and a Motorola smartphone that’s all-American from design to manufacture. We’ll also cover rumors of a newer, ... The post Pocketnow Weekly 046: Tablet Z vs TouchPad Go, and other tech podcast tomfoolery appeared first on Pocketnow.

| What’s the sweet spot for 1080p? 6.45-inch full HD Android announced Posted: 30 May 2013 08:36 AM PDT
Full HD 1080p displays may have first arrived with tablets, but we’ve since seen them shrink-down and start becoming the screens of choice for higher-end smartphones, as well. What we’ve largely been missing out on, though, is the 1080p experience in more of a large phablet or small tablet range – that’s especially unfortunate, because these are the sizes where all the extra pixels could make the most impact. The device we share with you today may not be so compelling overall, but its ... The post What’s the sweet spot for 1080p? 6.45-inch full HD Android announced appeared first on Pocketnow. |
| Will Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie feature a card-based UI? Posted: 30 May 2013 08:17 AM PDT
When Google released its Google Now app we saw our first look at a card-based UI in an Android app. Touted as being able to show you “the right information at the right time”, this new design for displaying information is elegant. It’s a simple and to-the-point method that standardizes information onto a single “card”, separated from other information. It should come as no surprise. We’ve been using cards for a very long time in our everyday lives. Libraries used to catalog all their books and media offerings on individual cards in something called a ...
