All of HTC’s quirky Vines

August 12, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I’m an HTC user and really enjoy my HTC One. I do worry about the company though; it’s not doing well. At lest the Taiwanese brand recognises the problem. It’s the marketing. Apple and Samsung are kicking butt despite HTC making some great phones. So, they’ve hired Robert Downey Junior as their “face” for two […]

The Geek Native hands on review of the HTC One

April 11, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I’ve bought an HTC One. It wasn’t the one I wanted. I want 64GB in black but it was only possible to pre-order the 32GB. Then HTC announced they didn’t have the black in stock, we’d already suffered through delays, and the email suggested switching to silver and getting a free screen protector. I switched. […]

Today the government run auction on the 4G space in the UK starts. However, EE is already active (in some cities) and there are already some 4G LTE phones. HTC has timed this well; announcing their new 4G LTE phone that’ll be available via selected operators and retail partners. The launch partner is EE. The […]

The Gadget Show Live 2012 review

April 11, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood 2 Comments

Once again The Gadget Show Live rocks on up to the NEC in Birmingham leaving us with questions like “is it any good?”, “should I go?” and “what are the gadgets like?” This blogger did not attend during the press day; instead four of us, including one wheelchair, went on the first day and got […]

HTC’s Free Fall: Smartphone photography at 126mph

March 30, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

HTC arranged a free fall – a skydive – to demonstrate the photographic capability of their new HTC One series. As you might expect from HTC there was a cunning twist. This wasn’t a normal skydive. This free fall was also a full on fashion shoot. Step forward (and out of the plane) Roberta Mancino. […]

Race car science as micro arc oxidation helps create HTC One S cases

March 17, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

Sometimes the science aspects of this blog merge with the tech aspects of this blog. Makes sense, right? The surprise is that it doesn’t happen more often. I suspect that the science isn’t often seen as exciting enough by the marketing departments and so no cool videos are created to explain it. Horrah, then, for […]

Bearded Dragon loves to play games on her HTC Android

December 14, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This Bearded Dragon seems to be happy to play Ant Crusher on this HTC Android smart phone. It’s not hard to work out why she’s so good at it. She seems happy enough but after the cute factor… a little bit of me worries this might be cruel. I hope she’s given a tasty ant […]

Which HTC phones will get Dropbox’s free 5GB?

October 24, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

HTC have announced a new deal with Dropbox. HTC’s Android phones will come with a free 5GB of storage. It’s a great idea; a good counter to iCloud. I’ve an HTC Sensation with Dropbox installed. I don’t pay for Dropbox but have done some of their social media competitions in order to boost my storage. […]
