Hasta La Gadget!

As expected, the HTC One is now free-for-all. Those on AT&T and T-Mobile can grab the new device starting today either online or at a handful of retail stores, including Best Buy, Radio Shack, Walmart, Sam’s Club, Target, Costco, and Car Toys. The phone will also be available on Amazon.com, as well as at carrier stores.

The handset will be available in both 32GB and 64GB flavors on AT&T, with Ma Bell being the exclusive carrier for the 64GB version, which means that if you’re hankering for as much storage space as you can get, AT&T seems like your only option at that point, but we can’t imagine 32GB not being enough for the everyman.

For now, you can only grab the glacier silver version of the HTC One, with a black model coming in the next few weeks, which AT&T will also have available in a 64GB flavor. If you decide to go with T-Mobile, you might be pleased to know that you’ll be treated with a free car dock, which is only for a limited time, so be sure to get there soon if you want it.

The HTC One will cost $199.99 and $299.99 for the 32GB and 64GB versions, respectively. T-Mobile users can expect a down-payment of $99.99 with another 24 monthly payments of $20. If it’s the unlocked or developer edition of the new device that you’re looking for, those have been delayed. The exact ship date isn’t known, but it’s said to be toward the end of the month.

In each issue of Distro, editor-in-chief Tim Stevens publishes a wrap-up of the week in news.

It seems like ages since Sergey Brin staged one of the most dramatic product launches of all time at last year’s Google I/O, guiding a bemused audience through a cavalcade of extreme antics that saw a prototype Google Glass headset delivered to the Moscone Center courtesy of skydivers, BMX riders and mountain climbers. This week, the very first Explorer Editions of Google Glass shipped to lucky recipients through rather more pedestrian means: UPS. Still, those deliveries were received with no less excitement.

These early units are shipping out in waves, with many of the I/O pre-orderers (including this eager editor) left waiting and watching unboxing videos with envy. The first videos of the early editions in action started hitting YouTube en masse, something we’re sure will become increasingly commonplace through the spring. We also finally got the full specs for the thing, including 802.11b/g and Bluetooth connectivity, 16GB of internal storage and a 5-megapixel camera capable of 720p video recording.

You’ve probably read our hands-on preview and review of the HTC One to the point where you memorized everything we said about the device. And after being hit with delays allegedly due to a shortage in its camera module, HTC’s latest flagship smartphone, is now available in the U.S. for AT&T and Sprint subscribers.

On both AT&T and Sprint, you can now purchase the silver HTC One for $199.99 for the 32GB model both online and in their respective retail locations, or if you believe you need the extra memory, AT&T is the only U.S. carrier to carry the 64GB variant for $299.99. Both prices of course require customers to sign a two-year agreement with your carrier of choice. (more…)

April showers might bring May flowers, but the only precipitation we really care for around here is that of flagship handsets into stores. In that case, it’s time to break out the raincoats: the HTC One is officially on sale at AT&T and Sprint as of today. Both carriers and their resellers are offering the aluminum wunderkind in its silver guise at $200 on contract for a 32GB model, with AT&T still holding the US exclusive on a $300 64GB version. Those jonesing for different hues or radios will have to wait a little while longer, however. The T-Mobile edition won’t officially land until the 24th, and a black 32GB model is still “weeks” away from landing at AT&T and Sprint. Provided you’re not the exception to the rule, though, you’re cleared to buy what’s arguably the first US-bound flagship of the year.

Talk of a Facebook phone had been making the rounds for some time when the social network pulled the wraps off of a Home-draped Android handset. While it’s not solely dedicated to those shades of blue, the HTC First does put friends in focus and we judge its merits in a fresh issue of our slate magazine. Two of Sony’s latest offerings — the Xperia ZL and the NEX-3N — also hit the review gauntlet in this installment.
