HTC’s upcoming smartwatch makes brief appearance in behind the scenes video

July 21, 2014 Charlie DeLong Old Posts

2014 is the year of the smartwatch and with Android’s leading manufacturers all releasing their take on the “modern timepiece,” there was little doubt HTC wouldn’t follow suit with their own entry. Last week we got a possible first look at what HTC could be planning for their wearable, showing a square-ish design along with HTC’s trademark BlinkFeed on a small scale.

If that leak wasn’t enough ya (perhaps you were really hoping for a round watchface a la the Moto 360) it appears HTC may have slipped and shown off their upcoming watch in their latest behind the scenes design video. The video was uploaded to YouTube nearly 2 weeks ago, but it’s only today the smartwatch was spotted by HTCSource .

Once again, we’re seeing that familiar square design as it appears on one designers desk and after zooming in, HTC’s familiar BlinkFeed clock widget can be made out. Okay, so that one is a little tough to make out but the video continues showing one designer working on a 3D render of the watch. For a split second, we even get a look at the back which appears to have some kind of connecting points near the bottom.

We know, it’s not much but with Android Wear being all the rage these days, we’re sure you’re already trying to weigh your options. Not only that, it’s always fun to search for little Easter eggs — whether unintentional or not — in behind the scenes videos like this. Not sure how HTC managed to let this one slip by.

[New App] Bamboo Paper Comes To Android Tablets With Limited Time Free Offer

July 21, 2014 Charlie DeLong Old Posts

Wacom’s Bamboo Paper app has been a big hit on the iPad, and now it’s out on Android tablets. This follows the release of the slimmed down Bamboo Paper Memo app for phones late last year. To drum up some support, Wacom is including all the premium features for a limited time.

Paper is an app that gives you virtual notebooks in which you can take notes or sketch – whatever strikes your fancy.

LG G Watch and Samsung Gear Live kernel sources now live in AOSP

July 21, 2014 Charlie DeLong Old Posts

For those with knowledge in these matters, (read: Android devs/modders/tinkerers), Google has just uploaded the kernel sources for both the Samsung Gear Live (Sprat) and LG G Watch (Dory) t0 AOSP. Like with saw with the Android L release, it appears Google is once again going with a partial upload for “kitkat-wear” (Android-4.4w_r1), meaning GPL repositories only.

When it comes to us regular folk, this wont do much good. But as so often is the case with the Android modding community, this should help ROM developers in tweaking devices from the stock software that may otherwise hold our smartwatches back from greatness. Google says they plan on doing a full push for Android’s next milestone release, so we’ll have a while to wait before then.

For devs looking to do some tinkering, you’ll find everything you need via the download link below. Cheers.

Amazon Game Studios’ First Fire Phone Games, To-Fu Fury And Saber’s Edge, Demonstrate Bad Cases Of Kinect Syndrome

July 21, 2014 Charlie DeLong Old Posts

Amazon wants you to buy its shiny new Fire Phone, and one of the biggest selling points is that fancy head-tracking camera system. So naturally, the first two games to come out of the company’s home-bred Amazon Game Studios for the Fire Phone feature functionality that can only be done with that specific hardware. Unfortunately, both platformer To-Fu Fury (available now for $2) and the upcoming Match 3 RPG Saber’s Edge (free, whenever it’s published) exhibit classic signs of Kinect Syndrome.

Google Revamps Chromecast Site With A Full List Of Chromecast Apps And Search Functionality

July 21, 2014 Charlie DeLong Old Posts

The official Chromecast page has not thus far been a good resource for finding apps. It only listed a tiny fraction of the apps with Chromecast support, but now you can use the page to see all the apps. That’s a lot of apps, but luckily you have search functionality now too.

Basically, Google has added some new tabs to the app discovery section. It you click on “More,” the page shows you some popular Chromecast apps.

Facebook Save Is A New Auto-Categorized Bookmarking Feature For Your News Feed

July 21, 2014 Charlie DeLong Old Posts

Let’s just say you popped open Facebook and spotted something interesting shared by one of your friends – maybe you want to save that? I can’t remember the last time this happened, but I’m sure it’s possible. That’s what Facebook’s newly announced Save feature is for, and I’m kind of surprised it didn’t already exist.

Save will work on the web and in the mobile apps. The options for each post in your news feed will include the ability to save the content (be it a web link, restaurant, album, or anything else) to your Facebook profile for later.
