Verizon posted the update informationM for Android 4.0.4 IMM76K yesterday and we knew it wouldn’t be long before it started rolling out. Well, some lucky users are already seeing the update pop up on their device, but before you go getting excited, it appears to only be affecting a small batch of people. Of course, I’m not one of them, but that hasn’t stopped me from obsessively hitting the “check now” button.
Today, Verizon Wireless announced that they will be releasing their mobile video aggregator, Viewdini, later this month. With Viewdini, users will be able to search through thousands of titles from leading content providers such as Netflix, Hulu Plus, mSpot, TV sites, movie studios, Comcast’s Xfinity TV, Verizon FiOS and cable operators. From there, users will be able to see if any videos are available and whether or not they are free or require a subscription, rental, or purchase.
Sprint has nixed its 5GB/$29.99 mobile hotspot add-on for mobile phones and tablets in favor of a two-tier system. Sprint customers will now have a choice between a 2GB/$19.99 a month plan or 6GB/$49.99 a month plan. These new offerings should give customers more choice to better fit their mobile hotspot needs. Customers can also enroll in Sprint’s MHS notification program to be notified when they reach 75, 90 and 100 percent of their on-network monthly data limit.
It appears the HTC EVO 4G LTE has been freed from the callous clutches of U.S. Customs after clearing its International Trade Commission review. In case you didn’t know, the HTC EVO 4G LTE was held up at Customs due to allegations over patent infringement stemming from a ruling Apple won against HTC back in December. While nothing more than an inconvenience, the hold up has sparked outrage from some customers and even sparked some harsh words from Android community members. Thankfully, the wait is almost over — according to Sprint — and those who pre-ordered the HTC EVO 4G LTE can expect them to ship around Thursday, May 24.
Sprint has just announced the availability of the HTC Bluetooth music adaptor for wirelessly streaming music from your phone through your car stereo speakers. It’s a fairly expensive adaptor at $59.99 and considering it plugs into a 3.5mm aux port, it’ll leave you wondering “why not just buy a cheap aux cable?”
