HTC ‘s recently released smartphones, the One S and One X got of to a great start with lots of rave reviews. Unfortunately this positive sign for HTC’s return as the maker of top Android handsets seems to be taking a downturn, with reports of camera and audio bugs, and now an issue with the ceramic coating rubbing off.
In Germany, HTC are swapping out devices with the coating problem for free, and now that they have admitted the problem they will likely be doing this worldwide. It’s still unclear how widespread of an issue this is, but this is certainly bad press that HTC doesn’t need while they try to make a comeback.

While it’s very iOS-esque and only has an official app for Apple products, the simple clean look works quite well. The interface is not the most […]
Primecast blocked from operation, app pulled from Google Play
After only three days of exposure, Amazon has had Primecast blocked from use. From what I understand it was restricted via Amazon’s backend. That means there was no legal action taken against the Primecast developers or threats of action. The developers have taken the app down of their own volition. Contrary to what was written […]
