Samsung’s official Twitter account has tweeted a teaser image for the much-anticipated Galaxy S IV ahead of the handset’s grand unveiling on Thursday, March 14. The image doesn’t give much away, but it does provide us with some idea of what the device will look like. And to be honest, we’re not all that impressed.
Bye bye, TweetDeck mobile, we hardly knew ye.
Twitter, the social networking company, purchased TweetDeck, the Twitter application company, back in May of 2011. Today, the Twitter-owned TweetDeck announced that it was discontinuing support for the venerable stand-alone Twitter clients on Android, iOS, and desktop computers via Adobe AIR, ostensibly to concentrate on the TweetDeck web experience.
While many current users of the clients may disagree, Twitter feels that its user base is both better served on the web, and that the decision mirrors the real-time activity of those very same TweetDeck customers.
Vine, a new video sharing service from a small team owned by Twitter, has become a big hit since making its debut on the iPhone back in January, and we Android users want to know when we’re going to get a slice of the action. According to a new job listing from the company — which seeks a lead Android engineer — it won’t be too long before the service hits Google Play.
The official BBC Sport app has finally landed on Android, more than six weeks after making its debut on the iPhone. Designed for devices that are 7 inches or smaller, it provides you with access to all of the content you’ll find on the BBC Sport website, but in a format that’s much easier to enjoy on a smaller display. It has dedicated sections for football (soccer), Formula 1, cricket, rugby, tennis, golf, and more.
Samsung’s Galaxy S IV event is “definitely” scheduled for March 14, according to sources familiar with the Korean company’s plans. On Monday, we heard the device would be unveiled on that date at an event in New York City, and those claims have now been “confirmed.” However, it’s still unclear when the device — which is likely to be one of the most successful smartphones of 2013 — will go on sale.
