HTC is said to be preparing its Android 4.3 update for the flagship HTC One, and according to a source familiar with its plans, it’ll land in the United States first.

Twitter should have released a proper tablet app for Android several years ago, but we’ve been forced to use a blown-up version of the mobile client instead. But not anymore. Believe it or not, the company has (slowly) been working on a tablet app for Android, and a leaked version of it is available to download now.
Twitter is the latest company to jump on the Android beta testing bandwagon, by allowing a small amount of users/testers access to a new version of its official application prior to its official release on the Play Store.

As the undisputed King of Internet Video, it’s kind of hard for YouTube to make any big changes without the public noticing, but over the last 10 days, YouTube has slowly rolled out a redesigned logo, first on its iOS and Android apps, and now to Twitter and Facebook as well.

Curiously, YouTube hasn’t rolled out the new logo to its website yet, nor announced any official changes, but now that it’s in the official YouTube apps, it looks like it’s safe to say this change will be permanent.
Here’s a higher-res version of the new logo:
Sony Mobile has today published an official video showcasing its upcoming flagship handset, the Xperia Z1, revealing a stylish device similar to the original Xperia Z, accompanied by a Sony G Lens rear-facing shooter, a physical camera button as well as IP57 dust protection and waterproofing.
