Spring is here and so is an array of devices and apps from the technology world. It\u2019s that time of the year when lot of updates get pushed out, at least for Android devices. During the last two weeks we also saw the release of significant devices, apps, and updates.<\/p>\n

All new HTC ONE (M8)<\/b><\/p>\n

So, the Taiwanese manufacturer has released the successor of last year\u2019s flagship HTC ONE cell phone. The phone packs five-inch, full HD resolution. On first look, the HTC One (M8) appears to be a solid upgrade from its predecessor, in terms of build quality. Keeping the industry standards in mind, the phone has the best hardware, but lacks in camera department. For some reason, HTC took a gamble by placing just a four-megapixel camera in their flagship device, which is far below the industry standard. Hit or miss? We\u2019ll soon found out.<\/p>\n

LG G2 Kit Kat update<\/b><\/p>\n

The phone that built the base of the almighty Nexus 5 is finally getting the update to the latest Android software 4.4, a.k.a. Kit Kat. So, it\u2019s about time that LG\u2019s flagship phone finally gets the bells and whistles of its counterpart, Nexus 5, which was lucky enough to get the first updates. G2 is on contract with the Canadian carriers Bell and Rogers, who are now getting the update. If you haven\u2019t got the update yet, it should be just around the corner.<\/p>\n

HTC BlinkFeed coming to all devices<\/b><\/p>\n

BlinkFeed is HTC\u2019s feed aggregator\u0118that displays your\u0118social network updates, calendar events, news, music, and other content all in one place. With HTC BlinkFeed you don\u2019t need to open multiple apps to see what\u2019s going on; all of your content is gathered together in one convenient stream. HTC has kept this wonderful app to itself for a long time, but has decided to try the app\u2019s fate with other devices as well sometime in the future. The company is working on a SDK, which will allow other devices to work with it. At the moment it\u2019s only available on the HTC M8, but this exclusivity won\u2019t last for long.<\/p>\n

The end of Last.fm<\/b><\/p>\n

After going paid subscription-only last year, Last.fm recently announced that its subscription radio streaming service would no longer be available. However, users will still be able to stream music from Last.fm using Spotify.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
