There are plenty of leaks suggesting that HTC will soon unveil at least a new Android device, with the One X+ and the 5-inch phablet being among the most talked about upcoming HTC Android handsets.
Earlier today we saw a couple of new leaked images of the One X+, which suggested the new device will be fairly similar to the current One X/XL model. But the new smartphone is yet to be made public.
HTC’s most recent press event (September 19) focused only on Windows Phone 8 smartphones, so we’re still waiting to see the Taiwanese Android device maker announce a similar event for new Android handsets.

But while we wait for HTC to announce its next media event, we will take a look at a “Hold the date” email received by HTCSpecialist.com members – see image above. According to the email, HTC will host an “exclusive” event in Glasgow on October 2 from 6-11 PM local time, where those attending will be able to “preview HTC’s latest phones.”
Should we expect to see new One X-branded devices next week, including the One X+ and the One X5? We’re certainly going to keep you updated on the matter, but let’s not get too excited about the whole thing just yet. After all, while this invitation from HTC Specialist certainly sounds interesting, we’re yet to see the official invites from HTC, and that Glasgow event is less than a week away.
Not to mention that we’re also puzzled by the fact that this event is not scheduled to take place in London, where we’d usually expect the company to host such pressers.
Any HTC Specialists in the audience? Have you received a similar invitation? Are you going?
Thanks tipster!

According to a recent report, Mozilla’s Firefox OS should only expect to see around 1 percent of the global smartphone OS market in 2013, compared to Android’s 67 percent. The report says it could take as long as two years to turn this around, so should Google worry about Firefox OS at all, or turn their focus on other competitors?

Looking at 2013

TechCrunch reports that according to a report by Strategy Analytics, Mozilla’s Firefox OS will likely only see about 1 percent global market share, and Android is expected to keep its lead with 67 percent. As the first handsets to use Firefox OS will be aimed at the lower-budget portion of the market, that puts Firefox OS in direct competition with Android, with Android having the advantage of being there first.
While that may seem a bleak prospect for Firefox OS, Mozilla has made headway in getting handset manufacturers on board. Sprint, ZTE, Telefonica and Deutsche Telekom all have agreements in place to carry phones running Firefox OS, but whether that is enough to gain Firefox OS the footing it needs won’t be clear for some time.

The Real Competition

In the TechCrunch article, Strategy Analytics analyst Neil Mawston is quoted as saying “It took Android just two years from commercial launch to overtake Symbian and go from new entrant to established global leader, so things can change extremely fast in the smartphone industry.” This is certainly true, but while it was popular, Symbian didn’t have the same level of brand awareness that Android currently enjoys.
With Firefox OS, Aliyun, Tizen and MeeGo all being names that have appeared in recent news, it’s easy to focus on the competition they may bring to Google or Microsoft, but we often forget that they will be competing against each other as well. With each OS fighting to gain ground, competition will be fierce, and it isn’t likely that all of them are going to make it out alive.
Do you think that Firefox OS poses a threat to Android, or should Google worry about the more immediate competition from companies like Microsoft and Apple?

We’ve known about the Samsung Galaxy Camera for a while now. The idea of an Android-based camera might not appeal to all types of users but it could be perfect for people who take a lot of pictures. The Galaxy Camera also offers a way to upload your photos and videos on the fly without having to hook an external camera to a laptop or other device to do it.

In order to truly create an Android camera that can do everything from taking the picture to uploading it, mobile broadband needs to be present. Samsung has already ensured us that 3G and 4G versions are coming, but under which carriers? We might now have our answer, thanks to the FCC.
Every device that comes to the United States must first make its way through FCC approval. The good news is that this often gives us a way to get an early look at extra features and options coming to new gear and gadgets. The FCC filings for the Samsung Galaxy Camera point to two different names, the EK-GC100 and EK-KC100. Both models seem to have HSPA-based 3G on 850MHz and 1900MHz bands, which is exactly what is used by AT&T and several Canadian carriers. There is no mention of LTE in the filing, but that doesn’t mean that it isn’t coming, it just is absent here.
We may not know much more than we did before, but at the very least it seems that the Samsung Galaxy Camera is set to arrive on AT&T. For the moment, it’s hard to say which other carriers might get the new Android camera.
Are you interested in getting the Galaxy Camera or are you perfectly happy with using your existing smartphone or even a standard digital camera?

Are you one of the many UK consumers impatiently waiting to get your hands on the Galaxy Note 2? If you really can’t wait until next week, you may not have to. That’s right, it seems that Unlocked-Mobiles is selling the Note 2 right now. According to the site, they can ship now and the successor to Samsung’s famous phablet could be in your hands as early as tomorrow.

It’s hard to say how or why UK Samsung Galaxy Note 2 devices have managed to make their way into Unlocked-Mobiles’ hands a week ahead of schedule. The asking price for the 16GB white version of the Note 2 is slightly higher here, at £545, versus the £530 price tag found at most other sites. The online retailer also has plans to sell the blue version of the phablet, but they don’t have it in stock yet.
The Galaxy Note 2 certainly is a major upgrade to the already excellent OG Note, now powered by a 1.6GHz quad-core Exynos with 2GB of RAM. The S Pen has also been redesigned and has many new features added to it. For a full list of hardware specs and features click here.
Any of our readers order the UK Samsung Galaxy Note 2 through Unlocked-Mobile? Let us know how the experience goes and whether or not you really are get it “next day” like they are claiming.

If you have an HDTV but didn’t shell out the extra cash for a Smart TV, the FAVI SmartStick may be the perfect solution for your streaming needs. It’s $50, plugs right into your television, and best of all, it’s powered by Android 4.1 Jelly Bean.

The FAVI SmartStick plugs into your TV’s HDMI port and uses a mini-USB cord for power. Control it using the included remote or an options wireless mouse and keyboard, and you’ve got a brand new Smart TV in your living room that happens to look just like your old one.
The SmartStick can use DLNA to stream files from your computer to your television in addition to streaming. There are several video streaming services supported, including Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, HBO Go and Crackle. The audio services supported include Pandora, Spotify and Google Play Music.
In addition to all the video and audio, users can also install apps from the Google Play Store, as long as they don’t require a specific processor. The $50 SmartStick includes 4GB of storage, while $80 gets you 8GB of storage. For $40 extra, you can also throw in a wireless mouse and keyboard.
In addition to the mini-USB port it uses for power, the FAVI SmartStick includes a 3.5mm audio port and a full size USB port that you can use to plug in your own wireless mouse and keyboard, or a USB hub for more devices. While it would be nice to see an optical or coaxial connection for digital audio, that is not realistic to expect in a device with this form factor at this price.
The sheer amount of stuff that the FAVI SmartStick can stream to your television is detailed in the video below.


That is an awful lot of awesome for one $50 stick that plugs into your television.
So who’s getting one?
