Omate TrueSmart smartwatch is also a phone, incorporates Fleksy keyboard (hands-on)

While most smartwatches like the Pebble and the Galaxy Gear can't live up to their true potential without the assistance of a smartphone, the Omate TrueSmart is a full-fledged calling and texting machine right out of the box. We've seen a couple of other such smartwatches of course, but the TrueSmart sets itself apart with a design that's both water- and scratch-resistant, a unique UI that runs full-on Android 4.2 and most intriguing to us, a partnership with Syntellia's Fleksy keyboard so that you can actually type coherently on such a tiny screen.

We had a brief hands-on with the TrueSmart at the Glazed conference in San Francisco, and we'll admit to a bit of skepticism that we'd be able to do much with a 1.54-inch screen. However, we did manage to flip through the four-icon menu without too much trouble. The icons were large enough for us to tap, and we simply had to slide our finger to the left to go to the previous screen. It refused to recognize our swipes on occasion, but hopefully that's just due to it being a pre-production unit.%Gallery-slideshow99594%

HTC Butterfly 2 allegedly leaked, takes design cue from 8XT

Just when we thought Chinese tech news has died down ahead of China's National Day on October 1st, a seemingly reliable HTC leak from there just had to ruin the fun. According to Weiphone, these are apparently the screens of the Butterfly 2, a new flagship device that's been rumored to carry a larger 5.2-inch 1080p display, a quad-core Snapdragon 800 SoC, an UltraPixel camera and BoomSound front-facing stereo speakers. Like the Windows Phone-powered 8XT, this alleged Butterfly 2 disguises its bottom speaker as a short black bar in between the Android soft keys, and it also utilizes a similar two-tone color scheme -- for its front side, at least. ePrice reported earlier that the new phone could be waterproof-certified at IPX7 or above, but we won't find out until January 2014 the earliest. One more shot after the break.

Motorola DVX images spotted in FCC filing

Motorola DVX rumors are getting fairly common at this point, however we have yet to see a solid set of specs. Up until this point in time the DVX chatter has focused on the handset being a low-cost alternative to the Moto X. To that point, Republic Wireless is expected to launch the Motorola DVX in October and we know they are already planning to sell the Moto X at a contract-free $299. Putting the low-cost talk to the side, as of today it looks like some images of the handset have been revealed.

An revised FCC filing for the Motorola DVX was spotted by Reddit user Danrant and while we have yet to see anything further in the way of specs — this filing did provide a few images of the handset. Simply put, it looks we now know what the front and back of the Motorola DVX will look like. And indeed, with a few minor exceptions, the handset does look like the Moto X.

In fact, the one noticeable difference is the speaker grill, which is now on the opposite side of the camera lens. Other details coming from this filing include mention of three model numbers and support for GSM and WCDMA. And just to clarify, there wasn’t anything in terms of LTE support mentioned.

Those three model numbers include the XT1032, XT1033 and XT1035. The filing does not mention any carriers, however given there are a few model numbers listed — that could lead one to believe the handset will arrive with multiple carriers. As mentioned, Republic Wireless is one of those carriers. Otherwise, aside from offering a look at the handset, the purpose of this filing was for hearing aid compatibility tests.

All said and done, we have yet to see anything from Motorola that would suggest an announcement is coming up, however given what we have seen from Republic Wireless we are going to be on the lookout for some news sooner rather than later.

SoftBank unveils 4G LTE-compatible smartphones for winter, spring 2014

Japense carrier Softbank has just announced three new Android smartphones that will make up its 4G LTE line for the rest of the year until early next year. The Fujitsu Arrows A 301F, the Sharp AQUOS Xx mini 303SH and the AQUOS Xx 302SH will be available in a series of launches starting December this year.

The Fujitsu Arrows A 301F features a 5-inch 1080p display, a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 CPU, 2 GB of memory and 64 GB of internal storage, and Android 4.2. It has a 13.1 megapixel rear camera with smart quick focus and intelligent flash. One of its selling points is its quick charge feature, allowing the 2600 mAh battery to be charged for just about 10 minutes and last for a whole day. The Fujitsu Arrows A 301F also features a fingerprint sensor at the back.

The Sharp AQUOS Xx 302SH and Xx mini 303SH are, in some ways, birds of the same feather. Both sport Sharp’s IGZO display technology and support 1080p resolutions, although the Xx Mini 303SH, as the name implies, has a 4.5-inch display compared to the 5.2-inches of the Xx 303SH. Both run on a Snapdragon 800 processor and have 2 GB of memory, but the smaller device only has 16 GB of storage while its bigger sibling has 32 GB. The two smartphones also differ in rear camera specs, with the 303SH sporting 13.1 megapixels and the 302SH having 16.3 megapixels. Like the Arrows A 301F, both smartphones are running Android 4.2

SoftBank has not yet announced pricing but has detailed when the devices will become available. The Fujitsu Arrows A 301F will launch early December and will be available in white, black, and pink colors. Around the same time, the Sharp AQUOS Xx 302SH will arrive in lapis blue, white, black, and pink options. Lastly, the AQUOS Xx mini 303SH will land in February next year and will have a variety of color options such as turquoise, black, white, red, blue, gold, light pink, and vivid pink.

Samsung Galaxy Note 3, S4 Zoom fashionable accessories unveiled in Paris

It’s fashion week in Paris and Samsung isn’t going to miss out on a chance to strut out its stuff on the runway. The company has unveiled a set of premium accessories for its Galaxy S4 Zoom camera smartphone and the newly launched Galaxy Note 3 that sports a distinct Korean flair.

The accessories, consisting of a handbag and a couple of protective cases with shoulder straps, are part of the hexa by kuho womenswear collection. Made from leather material, the accessories come in black and white colors for the cases and black for the handbag. All the accessories are adorned with a Housouge pattern, a decorative floral medallion design originating from Korea.

The Galaxy Note 3 clutch bag case features a zipper that can be fully opened to reveal the smartphone and has enough room for the phablet on one side and up to 3 cards on the other. The Galaxy S4 Zoom cases have been specifically designed to make room for the device’s camera lens. The case can either be attached to the leather handbag in the collection or as a standalone piece with its shoulder-length strap.

Samsung has not released any information regarding the availability or pricing of these premium accessories. But considering they are labeled as avant-garde items from Korean designer Kuho Jung, we can imagine it might cost quite a lot.

HTC Butterfly 2 front panels make an appearance in leaked photos

We’re still waiting for the appearance of the HTC One Max, which is slowly becoming somewhat of a mythical beast. But in the meantime, it seems that the Taiwanese company is keeping its hands busy with a new iteration of an old line, the HTC Butterfly 2.

The first HTC Butterfly was unveiled last year and was known as the DROID DNA in the US. That phone’s specs was quite decent even by today’s standards. It ran on a 1.5 GHz quad-core Qualcomm processor with 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of internal memory. It sported a 5.0-inch display supported a resolution of 1920×1080 pixels. It also had an 8 megapixel rear camera with a 2.1 megapixel camera on the front. A few months ago, the HTC Butterfly received an update that bumped its software to Android 4.2, with the US DROID DNA promised to follow soon.

It seems, however, that HTC is planning to do more than just update the smartphone and instead unveil a refresh of the device itself. Information on the HTC Butterfly 2 is still quite slim at the moment, but it’s rumored to sport a larger 5.2-inch screen with the same 1080p resolution. It’s CPU is also supposed to be boosted to a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800. As an added bonus, the HTC Butterfly 2 is supposed to have some amount of waterproofing, up to IP7. Leaked photos of the supposed front panels to be used for the device show that the smartphone will be coming in white, black, and blue color options right out of the box.

The HTC Butterfly 2 is rumored to be announced in January next year and it’s still unknown if it will make it to the US under the same name, if it will make it at all. The way HTC has been keeping silent lately, your guess is as good as ours.

Google claims second spot in most valuable brands of 2013

Perhaps unsurprisingly, Google has moved up the ranks to land second place in this year’s compilation of most valuable brands. The search and technology giant is just one step below Apple which has bagged the top spot in the list.

Every year since 2000, brand consulting company Interbrand has been compiling a list of the 100 most valuable brands for the year. For the first time since it was started, soft drink maker Coca-Cola was not at the very top. That crown now belongs to Apple, who has risen from 8th place in 2011 to second place last year, and finally to first place.

Further knocking it down a notch is Google, who has claimed second place after rising from the fourth spot in 2012. While this leaves Coca-Cola at third, it holds the distinction of being the only beverage company in the top 5, which is largely dominated by technology companies. In terms of the top 10 brands, it is joined by McDonald’s, who is at 7th, as the only companies in the food and beverage sector.

IBM, who once held the third spot last year, now takes Google’s place at fourth. Surprisingly, Microsoft has managed to secure the same fifth place in both years, same as GE in sixth place. Intel has fallen from 8th to 9th, while Samsung has taken its place, rising from 9th to 8th. Toyota bags the 10th place again this year, with rivals Mercedes-Benz and BMW not far behind, also at the same spots as in 2012.

Samsung’s ChatON hits milestone of 100 million users

Samsung Electronics has just released a statement boasting of their achievement of reaching 100 million users for its ChatON messaging service. The question is whether those figures will be enough for the service to secure a top spot in an already saturated market.

According to Samsung, ChatON has enjoyed steady growth in countries such as India, China, and the US, although it is also probably experiencing tough competition from the top service providers in those regions. The company says that one of ChatON’s winning features is its internationalization, supporting 63 languages all over the world. It cites India as an example, where the service supports 10 regional dialects, with 13 more coming before the year ends.

It is not that the messaging service doesn’t have desirable features. ChatON features easy drag and drop of images and links, which is especially useful when using multi-window capable devices such as the Samsung Galaxy S 4 or the newly released Galaxy Note 3. And, probably unknown to many, the app isn’t limited to just Samsung devices, as ChatON is also available on any Android, iOS, Blackberry or Windows Phone device, and even on the PC. However, compared to other service providers, ChatON is still probably lagging behind a bit.

The instant messaging market is probably already bursting at the seams, with one more late player probably coming soon. So it remains to be seen if ChatON will catch on and become a top name that is both associated with Samsung but at the same time not perceived as limited to it.

Galaxy S 4, S III, Note II Android 4.3 schedule confirmed by French carrier

As we keep on the lookout for the upcoming Android 4.4 KitKat reveal next month, we’re still keeping an eye on Android 4.3, which seems to be slowly but surely rolling out to devices. Now we’re receiving confirmation that next in line to get the updates will not only be Samsung’s current Galaxy S 4 flagship but even last year’s Galaxy S III and Galaxy Note II models as well.

It’s probably not that easy to get excited about Android 4.3, as it is practically an incremental upgrade to the Jelly Bean line, aside probably from the introduction of new security features such as SELinux and restricted profiles. However, it is always a good thing when the latest generation of devices get updated to the latest Android version. Even better when year-old devices are also thrown into the mix.

Fench carrier SFR has just released a timetable that details when various smartphones will be receiving which updates. The Samsung Galaxy S 4 is schedule to receive Android 4.3 in October. And, as earlier reported, the Galaxy S III and the Galaxy Note II will also be receiving the update sometime around late November or possibly extending even to December. All Samsung updates will be delivered via KIES or OTA.

Also included in the schedule is the HTC One, which is scheduled to be updated to Android 4.3 in October as well. Unlike the Samsung smartphones, however, the HTC update will only be available over the air.

Gmail app update paves the way for ads

Last week, Google rolled out a bevy of updates to its Android apps, most likely in preparation for the arrival of Android 4.4 KitKat. One update in particular was apparently more than what it seemed . The Gmail app might soon be getting a probably controversial feature in the form of advertisements.

The Gmail app for Android was updated last week which introduced a more Card-centric look, bringing it in line with Google’s apparent efforts to push the card metaphor across its services and apps. However, based on an APK teardown, it seems that the update also included a feature hiding in the shadows, waiting to be activated. In the near future, Gmail users will be seeing ads in the Android app, with options not only to dismiss ads, but also to save them as an email.

It’s not all bad news, however. The Gmail app update also added something useful for users. When navigating to the Sent section of the app, users will be reminded if they have an unsent email sitting in Drafts. The email notification has also been revamped, featuring a box containing the initial of the sender in case there is no photo associated with the sender. This matches the behavior already implemented within the app itself.

It’s still unknown when Google will activate ads in the Gmail app or what form it will take. The move, while probably disappointing to a number of users, is not entirely surprising as the Gmail web interface already sports ads and it is no secret that advertisements play a major role in Google‘s income. It makes us wonder though, if Google will start putting ads in its other Android apps as well in the near future.

A.I Watch unveiled as latest full-Android smartwatch

Yet another smartwatch has launched for crowd funding. This latest watch is the A.I Watch and the listing has been spotted on Indiegogo where the team creating the smartwatch is looking for $100,000 in funding. Time will tell if/when they reach that goal, however for now what we are seeing is another smartwatch launching with full Android and cellular connectivity.

Basically, the A.I Watch is launching with a setup similar to another recently successful crowd funded watch, the Omate TrueSmart. But competitors aside, the A.I Watch campaign has just launched and currently sits with 42 days remaining. The early bird pricing begins at $179 and other levels then kick in at $199. The team behind the A.I Watch has offered details on terms of the campaign and the watch itself.

As for the watch, this one features a 1.54 inch capacitive 240 x 240 display, dual-core 1.2GHz processor, 512MB of RAM, 4GB of internal storage and a 5 megapixel camera. The watch sports a 500 mAh battery which is said to be able to provide up to 100 hours to time in standby. This one also has other goodies such as GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth and a complete range of sensors to include Acelerometer, E-Compass, Gyroscope.

Otherwise, the A.I Watch is running Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich with a custom user interface sitting on top. And as for that cellular connectivity, that will be arriving in the form of 3G and GSM on the following bands; 850/900/1800/1900. Those considering backing the project may also be happy to hear the watch will ship with Google Play Store access.

And for those worried about any of those specs, there are already a handful of stretch goals created that could potential see the watch launch with Android 4.3, 1GB of RAM, a 600 mAh battery and NFC.

Anyway, while some of the other smartwatches have been offered as the watch only — this time around we are seeing a package deal with accessories included. For example, the $199 backing level includes the watch as well as a USB cable, USB adapter, SIM card ejector tool, watch stand and headset. For now it looks like the deliveries are expected to begin in December and that $199 backing level will eventually retail for $279.

Android 4.4 Kit Kat build KRS74H spotted in leaked log files

If the rumors play out as we are expecting, Google will be announcing the Nexus 5 and offering some additional details on Android 4.4 soon enough. Recent chatter suggests Google has an announcement planned for October 14th, but as we always see in these types of situations — the leaks and rumors begin running in overdrive prior to the announcement. A few weeks earlier we saw mention of Android 4.4 having been spotted as build KRS74D and judging from this latest leak, Google has had a few updates since.

This latest Kit Kat mention comes by way of myce.com who have reportedly gotten their hands on some screenshots and log files. There does seem to be some reason to be skeptical here, however they are showing these as being from Android 4.4 Kit Kat with build number KRS74H. In addition to the build number, these log files also have a mention of the Nexus 5.

While those details seem to follow the patterns we would expect, there are still some slightly more curious aspects to this leak. These logs seem to be referencing Key Lime Pie, which as we learned a few weeks earlier — is not going to be the name of Android 4.4 when it officially arrives. And in addition to the slightly out of date KLP mention, there was also at least one reference to the Nexus 4 in these files.

Shifting back to some details that we can connect to earlier leaks and we see reference to hammerhead. This codename was seen in these logs and those looking back to earlier in the month will likely remember the connection here. A handset leaked earlier in the month with mention of hammerhead and a model number of LG D820. Details at that time point towards this being the Nexus 5 and this latest leak just adds a bit more credibility.

Otherwise, aside from mentions of build numbers, code names and handset model numbers — these files also revealed the handset should support wireless charging and have a variety of sensors to include Magnetometer, Gyroscope, Barometer, Game Rotation Vector, Motion detector and Step detector. That all being said, while this leak didn’t reveal a wealth of new information, it did connect some of the earlier pieces and in the meantime, we are going to keep looking towards mid-October for a possible announcement.

Gmail Android app may get ads soon, APK teardown reveals

Google's Gmail app for Android has remained an ad-free sanctuary, but code uncovered by Android Police in an APK teardown of the application's latest version hints that circumstances might change. Buried within the the program is a new library called "ads," along with messages, functions and classes mentioning advertisements. What's more, a "ShowAdPreferenceManager()" function routes users to the ad settings page for their very own Google account. Its not clear if sponsored bits will make it into the promotions folder just like the web version of Mountain View's inbox, but the clues suggest you should brace yourself to see some marketing relatively soon.

Skate to Where the Puck Is Going

Businesses implementing Android apps can learn from what Web developers have done to handle browser variations, to handle the similar variations in Android OS versions. In this first post of a three-post series, we will examine what Web developers have done to simplify their development efforts and what the Android analogues are.
