Verizon Details New Rezound OTA (Build 4.05.605.14 710RD), Brings Global Roaming And Bunch Of Stuff You Probably Don't Care About

Posted by in Device Updates, News, Rezound, Verizon Wireless
Last Updated: April 26th, 2013

Hey guys, I know that when you hear "Rezound" and "OTA" in the same sentence your first thought is probably "Jelly Bean!" Hate to be the bearer of bad news here, but that's not the case. It's just an update that enables global roaming and does a lot of other petty stuff.

See? Let's Golf 2 was updated! Skype was made gooder! Visual Voicemail now show the correct amount of notifications! All cynicism aside, I'm sure someone, somewhere can appreciate something in this update, as minor as it may be.

The support docs were just updated today, which usually indicates an OTA is in its final stages of processing and should begin rolling out shortly.

AOL's Moviefone Gets A Major Update to v2.0, Brings An All New UI

Posted by in Applications, News

Allow me to be blunt for a moment: AOL's Moviefone was in desperate need of a makeover. Sure, back in the day the styling was appropriate – but now we want Holo. Everywhere.

Good news: the most recent update to Moviefone ditches the old tabbed-style interface for a much nicer-looking Holo-esque interface and dark color scheme. It really is quite nice looking – especially in comparison to the former version:

[For Developers] Samsung Releases Chord SDK For Easier Peer-To-Peer Connections

Posted by in Development, News

Few things attract new users to an app more than the ability to interact with other people; gamers demand multi-player and socialites want instant photo sharing. To ease the burden of exchanging data fluidly, Samsung has released its new Chord SDK to make local peer-to-peer and group communication much easier for developers with little or no networking knowledge. It exposes features similar to Samsung's AllShare SDK, but makes it possible to broadcast data and share files with several devices at once.

Chord automates the discovery of nearby devices and handles most of the tedious aspects of file transfer and messaging, which are built on top of the open source ZeroMQ library for high efficiency.

Verizon's Galaxy S4 Pre-Orders Start Today, Devices Begin Shipping 'By May 30th'

Posted by in Galaxy S4, News, Verizon Wireless

While Galaxy S4 pre-orders are already well underway for most other carriers, Verizon joins the party today – fashionably late as usual. You can get the 16GB version of Samsung's newest flagship on the country's largest provider of LTE for $200 – but you'll have to wait until May 30th to actually get the device in your hands. That's basically a full month later than most other carriers. Par for the course in Verizonland, though.

If you can handle the delay (or just can bear the thought of leaving Verizon for another carrier), then you can secure your GS4 below. Keep in mind, however, it looks like the 16GB version is the only one available right now, as the 32/64GB versions are nowhere to be found.

Time To Suit Up: Official Iron Man 3 Game From Gameloft Hits Google Play

Posted by in Games, News

I had a revelation last year: when it comes to my favorite superheroes, I'm a big fan of the "normal" guys who just have lots of money and gadgets. That's not to say that Wolverine, Thor, and the like aren't complete and total badasses, but there's just something to be said for millionaire philanthropists looking for a bit of vigilante justice.

For those who may be outside the super hero loop (way outside of it), I'm referring to Batman and Iron Man. While the former's newest movie trilogy has come to close, the latter has a new film hitting theaters in roughly a week (May 3).

CyanogenMod To Add Time-Delayed and Voice-Activated Photo Capture Modes

Posted by in Development, News

Show of hands, who uses CyanogenMod? Oh, you do? I've got some good news: your camera is about to become a little more interested in what you have to say. A few hours ago, CyanogenMod announced that the included camera app will integrate a voice-activated shutter mode. Judging by one of the pictures, a new time-delayed mode will be part of the package, as well. Take a look:

As you can tell, a few different words can be used to activate the shutter, currently Cid, Whiskey, and Cheese. We also see that the voice-activated mode must be turned on for each photo you wish to take.

MetroPCS Ties The Knot, Takes T-Mobile's Name As Shareholders Throw Rice On Merger Deal

Posted by in MetroPCS, News, T-Mobile

Dearly beloved, we are gathered together in the sight of the FCC and these witnesses to join MetroPCS and T-Mobile in the bonds of holy mergrimony. If any shareholder can show just cause why they may not be joined together, let them speak now or forever shut the hell up.

Today, MetroPCS shareholders approved the merger between the company and T-Mobile USA. As a result of the deal, Deutsche Telekom will own a 74% stake in the new company, while the former MetroPCS shareholders will own 26%. The new company will be called T-Mobile US and, for the first time, be traded publicly on the NYSE under the name TMUS.

Wednesday App Sales: Strategy & Tactics: WW II, Alien Breed, Swype, And More

Posted by in Apps/Games, Deals, News

Over the past few weeks we've highlighted several Play Store sales that hit at the end of each week. Today, however, looks like a few devs decided to try middle-of-the-week sales, and we figured some of those may not make it to the week's end. So here it is – a short list of sales that are happening right now.

If any of those strike your fancy, it'd probably be a good idea to pick 'em up sooner rather than later.
