HTC Fetch will help users track their valuables

HTC has recently applied for the “Fetch” trademark, describing it as a “portable multifunction electronic tracking device for assistance in locating mobile phones, smartphones, cellular phones, portable computers, tablet computers…” and other valuables. From that description we envision a small, tag device that can be easily attached to different objects, helping users track their valuables. We assume the Fetch has some sensors inside (GPS among others) as well as a Bluetooth radio to communicate with smartphones and tablets. That’s just a speculation at this point and we’ll rather have to Read more

Leaked photo shows HTC One Mini standing alongside its bigger brother

Now we’re confident what the upcoming HTC One Mini will be all about – just like its name says it will be a smaller and less powerful version of HTC’s flagship device as you can attest for yourself from the photo above. You can’t help but love its aluminum unibody and the way it will feel in hand — we know how the “regular” HTC One feels in hand so we tend to guess that a smaller version will even better fit our hands. Here’s what we know thus far Read more
