Huawei’s Emotion UI for Ice Cream Sandwich devices starts rolling out in China
Posted in: Today's Chili 
We knew its arrival was imminent, and it looks like the time to shine for Huawei’s Emotion UI is right about now — well, at least in areas near the Great Wall. To celebrate its official debut, the company’s launched a new website where it goes into nearly every detail about its novel Android skin, touting fresh features such as a voice assistant, smart contact finder, customizable fonts, smart triggers and an all-new chat application that’s very reminiscent of Cupertino’s iMessage or Samsung’s ChatOn. Unfortunately, the Emotion UI overlay is only available to Huawei devices — that are running Ice Cream Sandwich — in China, but word has it coming to the US of A and Europe once the outfit’s upcoming Ascend D Quad finally hits the shelves.
Update: As it turns out, our dear friends from Engadget Chinese have pointed out that Huawei’s website is listing the updates as “coming soon” and “ROM developing,” meaning the Emotion UI isn’t quite making its way to devices just yet.

It’s early morning. You’re running around, grabbing your stuff and throwing everything in your bag, and just as you’re about to leave, you double back inside to grab your iPhone from the kitchen table – only it’s not there. So you waste another ten minutes or so trying to find your phone before finally rushing out of your apartment. Sound familiar?
Well, here’s one solution for you: the MagSkin magnetic skin for your iPhone. It’s a thin decorative skin that “magnetizes” your iPhone so you can just stick it on your fridge when you’re not using it. That way, it’s always going to be there for you to just grab when you need to go.
The MagSkin is actually a Kickstarter project by Daniel Weyer in a bid to de-clutter his counter from all the wires and devices he and his wife had. If you have a couple of smartphones and music players, then the MagSkin can probably work on them, too, so you can stick everything onto your refrigerator.
The fact that they’re available in a wide range of colors, some shade shifting and thermo-sensitive, doesn’t hurt on the stylish end either.
A minimum pledge of $12(USD) will get you one of your very own MagSkins over on Kickstarter. Aside from that, you’ll also be getting two MagDocks, which are magnetic backings that will convert any surface into a docking area for the MagSkin-wearing device.
