HTC has released a system update for its latest HTC WP8 phones, the Windows Phone 8X and Windows Phone 8S. This update is related to system apps - Attentive Phone, Beats Audio and Regulatory.
I am not sure if the update is already available for users in Malaysia but even if it is not now, I believe that the update will be received very soon.

Have you used an iOS device before? If yes, could you imagine having a colour blindness while looking at the phone’s screen? That is what I imagined when I heard this news. According to several sources, the upcoming iOS 7 may have a flatter, black and white user interface.
This is because the new design team involved in the development of iOS 7 is planning to drop the current heavy textures in iOS. However, the new iOS will have a cleaner and simpler look. Even the lockscreen’s design may change too.
As for the notification centre, it will be cleaner and much neat compared to current notification centre style. I also heard that the latest iOS 7 will be released for iPhones first.
Although the “black and white” thing gave me a negative impression at first, I am happy to see a simple and neat design. Yes, I am ready to accept it.

As some of you may already know, the YouTube app from Windows Phone was already removed as it was not compliant with Google’s YouTube API Terms of Service. However, you do not need to worry as Microsoft and Google are already working together to bring a new YouTube app that will meet the terms, which includes enabling of advertisements. This new YouTube app is expected to be out as soon as next month.
On May 7, Microsoft has released a YouTube app which was developed on its own. However, Microsoft received a cease-and-desist letter from Google on the 15th of May. This letter has pointed out the app’s violation of several YouTube’s Terms of Service.

We have heard a lot of times that Apple is preparing a low cost iPhone. Some of the sources have also mentioned that the budget iPhone will be in multiple colours.
Recently a Japanese news site, Macotakara has reported that the low cost iPhone will begin production soon. Referring to another 2 sources, Macotakara has mentioned that the budget iPhone will be available in navy, gold-orange, white, and gray, or possibly white, pink, green, blue, and yellow-orange.
Based on the rumour, I think that the new budget iPhone will look similar to the current 5th Gen iPods in terms of colour (I wish it will be the same in terms of size too :p).
By the way, Macotakara has also mentioned that a field test production for the budget iPhone will start in June, followed by mass production in July. It is expected to launch in September.

There are a lot of news coming out about the HTC One. Previously, I got to know that a mini version of HTC One, the M4 is coming soon. Just recently, there was a rumour about the HTC with stock Android (which has been confirmed today by some strong sources).
Now, there is a new rumour saying that HTC One with a larger screen is in the works. This HTC One is expected to have between 5″ to 6″ screen resolution.
As for the HTC M4, it is expected to have 4.3″ screen. So you now have a choice of size. If you find the current HTC One to be quite big, then you have the M4. If you need something to be used as both a phone and a tablet, then this larger version of HTC One will be suitable for you.
However, please take note that it is still a rumour.

If you are planning to get a latest laptop, I suggest you to hold on first. Intel’s 4th Gen processors will be launched in Malaysia next month and if it can make your laptop’s battery last 50% longer than usual, it is worth waiting. Of course, that is not the only reason for you to wait for it.
These new generation processors are focused on lowering power consumption without affecting the performance. According to the source, the Haswell processor will definitely make an obvious difference compared to the current Ivy Bridge processor in terms of battery longevity.
Unfortunately, the price will be sky high as usual and for those of you who have just bought a machine running on Intel 3rd Gen processor, the price is going to drop quite a lot (as usual) very soon.
