Verizon Galaxy Nexus owners have been waiting, for what seems like an eternity, for Android 4.0.4 to hit their device. Google passed it along to Verizon months ago, but for some reason, Verizon just recently got around to approving it. Sure, we’ve seen it leak a couple of times, but never anything official from Verizon — until today.
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?”
