Dual-sim HTC One
Most manufacturers of smartphones make minor or major changes in the design of specific models for different world markets. The above applies to the HTC too, which for the Chinese market intends to offer three versions of high-end devices HTC One.
Jelly Bean got 25% of Android users
The number of devices that run Android version 4.x rose once again, but maybe not so explosive as compared to 16.5% increase last month. The figure of 25% of the device running on Android 4.x Jelly Bean and such a large jump in the month was not due to the fact that a few hundred thousand or even million users bought new smartphones.
The Facephone could be a reality on April 4th
It looks like the rumors of the death of the “Facephone” could have been exaggerated. According to some interesting rumors flying around the internet, Facebook might release their own branded version of Android on HTC hardware. This means that the potential for a Facebook banded phone is more likely than many (including us). Interestingly enough we did catch this potential in an article we wrote last year in May. We had spoken with Paul Amsellem, CEO of Mobile Network Group about the possibility of a Facephone and he had indicated that if this were to be a reality we would need to see a real product (OS or Phone) in 12-18 months. That article was published on May 30 2012. This seems to be a very unusual coincidence.

Father of Android gives his place to chief of Chrome

iPad passed by Android tablets
According to yesterday announcement from IDC's analysis, this will be the first year in which the number of tablets with Android operating system will surpass the number of Apple iPads. IDC believes that the smaller tablet size and low cost with Google's OS will win almost 49% of tablet market, while the iPad last year's 51% will drop to 46%.
