Official eBay App Updated With Custom Notifications And A Streamlined Checkout

Posted by in Applications, News

eBay's Android app has left a little to be desired, especially considering that their mobile web app is pretty serviceable in and of itself. Today's update brings a slightly refreshed user interface, a few bells and whistles in the alert system, and a desperately needed revamp of the checkout process. Phones and tablets running Android 2.1 or later can download the app, but don't expect the UI to scale.

The Reminders function is probably the most useful to hard-core eBay users, or at least, those hardcore users who don't already have email alerts set up. The new version allows you to set custom ringtones for buying and selling, as well as new matches for your saved search results.

Hands-On With The HTC One - Great Build Quality, Great Screen, Odd Buttons [Video]

Posted by in HTC, News, One

Greetings from New York! I’m here at HTC’s press event checking out the HTC One. Yes, that’s just the HTC One, the phone previously known as the M7 is all grown up and sporting the plainest version of HTC's "One" branding yet (which we are totally in favor of - Hopefully the carriers leave it alone).

But who cares about the name, what is the actual device like? We'll I've had a limited amount of time with it, but so far I like it.

Design

HTC is touting an all-aluminum, no-gap construction, and in person it's very nice. You can't get an exact feel for how it is to hold because they've got them anchored down to the tables, but it seems like it's very well constructed.

[Rumor] Wall Street Journal Corroborates Report Of Google Retail Stores In The Works

Posted by in Google, News

There have been a few items in the rumor mill about Google either investigating or planning retail stores, not unlike the Apple stores that famously dot malls and upper-class shopping areas around the world. 9to5 Google reported a tip from "an extremely reliable source" citing a 2013 rollout schedule for a Google store. Then the Wall street Journal, itself a pretty reliable reporter of the inner workings of Google, reported the same thing. The WSJ omitted a time frame, and noted that the 2013 claim may not be accurate.

A Google store would naturally focus on Google hardware, such as it is: you could definitely imagine Nexus phones and tablets, Chromebooks, and maybe even a few Google TVs littering a showroom.

Posted by in Galaxy Camera, News, Samsung

If you really want Samsung's Galaxy Camera (our review), but aren't into the idea of being tied down to a carrier so you can take pictures, it's your lucky day. The company just announced the Galaxy Camera Wi-Fi, which quite frankly makes a whole lot more sense, anyway.

Unfortunately, there's no word on pricing or availability, despite the fact that the PR states that the device is being "launched today."

HTC One Comes To America: AT&T, T-Mobile, And Sprint Confirm Release Plans, Canadian Carriers Too [Updated]

Posted by in AT&T, Bell, HTC, News, One, Rogers, Sprint, T-Mobile, TELUS, Virgin Mobile

All the HTC One hubbub in New York and London is for naught if you can't get your hands on the phone. So AT&T, T-Mobile, and Sprint customers in the United States will be glad to hear that their carriers are already confirmed to get HTC's shiny new flagship. Both AT&T and T-Mobile have reached out to us directly with confirmation, and Sprint is listed in HTC's official press release along with regional carrier Cincinnati Bell. Sprint had a sign-up page available briefly, but it seems to have disappeared. Sorry, Verizon users, you'll just have to make do with the DROID DNA for the time being.

HTC Announces The One: 4.7" 1080p Display, LTE, 'Ultrapixel' Camera, Sense 5.0, And A Whole Lot Of Aluminum

Posted by in HTC, News, One

Our own Ron Amadeo is live at HTC's New York press event right now, where the company has just unveiled its new flagship smartphone: the HTC One.

Update: Our hands-on with the HTC One is live: Hands-On With The HTC One - Great Build Quality, Great Screen, Odd Buttons [Video]

The One is sporting a brand-new 4.7" 1080p LCD display, wrapped in an all-aluminum unibody housing that, I have to say, is genuinely striking - no other phone looks like this thing. HTC claims the antennas are integrated into the gapless chassis, so one has to wonder about the effect that'll have on signal.

Tegra 4i And Phoenix: NVIDIA's 2.3GHz Quad-Core Plan To Make 1080p And LTE A Lot Cheaper In Your Next Phone

Posted by in News

NVIDIA has officially unveiled its smartphone strategy with Tegra 4 this morning, and the star of the show is undoubtedly the new Tegra 4i platform - a low-cost, slightly down-market version of NVIDIA's Tegra 4 chip that was announced at CES in January. And don't worry - the standard Tegra 4 platform will be featured in 'superphones' as well, T4i is all about the low to middle range of the market.

I understand, a budget chip may not sound like the most exciting thing in the world on paper, but remember - NVIDIA's budget Kai tablet platform is what the Nexus 7 owes its existence to.

Sprint Will Be Pushing A Small OTA Update To The HTC EVO 3D Beginning On February 21

Posted by in EVO 3D (Shooter), News, Sprint

It's been about seven months since the all-but-forgotten EVO 3D saw its last over-the-air update, which brought Android 4.0 to the handset. Sprint hasn't given up on the 3D oddity just yet, however – a small update will begin making its way to the device beginning on February 21st.

It will bring build 2.95.615.4, and include a couple of small fixes and one lone "enhancement:"

Enhancements

  • Sprint Connection Optimizer

Fixes

  • AVI Files unable to stream or play via DLNA
  • Launching Messaging app loading time

Yeah, it's not very exciting. Nonetheless, when an update hits your phone later this week, at least you'll know what's in it.
