We’re sure that most of you guys have heard by now that the HTC One has been delayed, although HTC is aiming for a release before the end of April. In the meantime we have to wonder, with this delay, will phones like the Sony Xperia Z overtake the HTC One, and will Samsung’s Galaxy S4 be able to snatch some market share away, especially if both devices are released around the same time? While we have to wait for the numbers to be released, a report has suggested that in the US, there have been hundreds of thousands of pre-orders that have already been placed for the HTC One.
HTC has also gone on to state that the demand for the HTC One is the greatest they’ve ever had for one of their devices, which we guess is welcome news considering that HTC isn’t doing too well for themselves at the moment. Of course these hundreds of thousands of pre-orders could pale in comparison once the Samsung Galaxy S4 goes up for sale, but in the meantime it definitely looks good for HTC. What do you guys make of this? Anyone planning on grabbing a HTC One for themselves upon its release, or do you think the Samsung Galaxy S4 will be a more attractive option?

While it might not necessarily be the most practical or take the best photos, the Sun & Cloud camera does have a degree of novelty value, thanks to its shape and the fact that you have to crank the mechanism by hand in order to power it.
We’ve all heard the rumors that Apple could be looking to build a television set of their own, with some predicting that it could even be launched later this year. While the jury is still out on that one, a new rumor has emerged, suggesting that Apple’s alleged television set could be a 4k device, meaning that it will put it in competition with UHD television sets by companies like Samsung, LG and Sony. According to the folks at 
We all know that sinking feeling when we drop our phones, tablets, cameras and whatnot, but we can’t imagine what it would be like to lose a camera in the ocean. However that’s what Lindsay Scallan did when she took her Canon PowerShot camera with her on her underwater dive off Hawaii. She attempted to look for the camera the next day, but unfortunately due to the rough seas she was unable to do so and promptly wrote it off as a loss. However it seems that the camera managed to stay afloat thanks to its waterproof housing, and drafted thousands of miles to Taiwan where it was picked up by an employee of China Airlines.
Microsoft’s Windows Phone mobile operating system is a decent operating system and offers iOS and Android users a very different experience from what they are used to. However with the reputation behind iOS and the powerful hardware offered by Android devices, it is understandable that many have opted between either, forsaking Windows Phone in the meantime. However if you’re reaching the end of your contract and you were thinking about trying out a new device, perhaps the Nokia Lumia 820 could be of interest to you.
