Facebook Using the "We only use iPhones" Excuse Again as AT&T Kills off the HTC First
If you thought it was bad that AT&T dropped the price on HTC’s Facebook centric phone to $0.99 in less than a month you haven’t heard anything yet. It is not only consumer acceptance of the Facephone that Facebook gets to look forward to. There is also a problem with the Facebook Home App despite Facebook’s claims that it has been downloaded one Million times. I seems that Facebook cannot catch a break when it comes to mobile.
AT&T Drops The Facebook Centric HTC First to 99 Cents After One Month
If Mark Zuckerberg and crew needed any more evidence that people are not interested in a FacePhone they only have to look at the HTC First. This new phone has already dropped down from its introductory cost to the $.99 bucket which is normally reserved for products that are at or near the end of their sales life. The HTC First is less than a month old so why is it already in the bargain bucket? Is this showing that people do not want Facebook running their phone or simply a reflection that people are do not want a phone that is too social network oriented?
HTC can keep the "Nokia“ microphones
Looks like HTC was not really guilty in the story about the use of microphones that were designed exclusively for Nokia. Contrary to previous allegations, the company now can sell the device HTC One in the Netherlands.
Is Samsung afraid of HTC?
The Taiwanese Fair Trade Commission has launched an investigation last week against Samsung in order to determine whether the Korean giant in collaboration with their local marketing agency paid the students to post comments on the Internet harmful for the HTC.
HTC's worst ever quarter profit in Q1 2013
HTC finished yet another quarter with very slim profit, which is in fact the weakest in company's history. According to Bloomberg, in the first three months of this year, the Taiwanese manufacturer has achieved earnings in the amount of only $2.8 million, which is nothing if you compare it to Samsungs expected earning for the same quarter of $7.7 billion.
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.
Is third the lucky time for HTC?
According to Display Search HTC intends to send to the market its first Windows tablet, and it will come with a 10.1" diagonal and supposedly 1080p resolution. While a manufacturer for HTC should be Pegatron, the screen would come from LG, which has a production process for matrix density of 218 pixels per inch (iPad has 264 ppi, while Samsung Galaxy tab 2 has 149 ppi) which would put the display somewhere in the middle of the offerings.
HTC One is nearly impossible to fix
One is certainly most desirable of HTC's smartphones currently on market and many will surely carefully protect it from taking damage. But that was not the plan of the team on site iFixit, who must disassemble every new gadget and thoroughly examine the possibility of its eventual repair.
HTC One postponed once again
HTC's presentation of this year’s flagship model One, in many ways the most impressive smartphone that currently exists, many considered brilliantly timed. It took place a few weeks before the release of Samsung Galaxy S4, with which HTC got a unique opportunity to own a superb device placed on the market long before its fiercest competitor, and win a bunch of users in their own camp.
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.
