Unfortunately, Handtec lists the unit as sold out at the moment, but more are sure to arrive although it is unknown when. The red HTC … Read more

A hint that the app is under development sneaked onto Twitter recently when user @MogroothMuddler tweeted a photo using the “Twitter for Glass” client and the hashtag #throughglass, which has been used by Google for Glass-related tweets in the past. AllThingsD believes the tweet is legitimate and points to the client name, “Twiter for Glass,” an identifier that can’t be spoofed. The person who sent … Read more

HTC President says mediocre Galaxy S4 reviews are positive for HTC One
Mike Woodward, president of HTC in North America, has been reading through recent Samsung Galaxy S4 reviews with a smile on his face.
