HTC is giving the public more to speculate over with the release of their latest cryptic picture on their Twitter page. The picture is of a camera lens that seems ordinary to the naked eye. Upon close inspection, however, the numbers “2, 19, 13″ are revealed along the lens’ outside rim. These numbers ordinarily would give indications of the camera’s lens quality but these numbers happen to line up with the date of the dual press events in New York City and London.
That’s HTC’s latest attempt at keeping us salivating over whatever their next announcement is going to be, whether that’s the M7 or something completely different. If nothing else, it’s creepy. A heart melding together with a circuit is an odd choice for attracting attention to a smartphone, but it does seem to fall in line with calling something the Droid DNA, (if they release a phone named after a kidney, I’m not buying it, I don’t care how awesome it is) so this might be a trend for HTC in the future. Or it could be something software related, like a living personal assistant along the lines of Siri or S-Voice. It’s really anyone’s guess at this point, at least until HTC wants to fill us in during their event scheduled later this month.

A couple of the benefits Android users enjoy compared to other mobile platforms include the ability to put widgets on their screens and the ability to customize the interface. Level Up Studio helps merge those two functions with their Beautiful Widgets app that gives users the ability to implement some stunning widgets on their devices. Being one of the first in the market does have a downside though as an app can become out of date, especially with changes to the Android ecosystem. To combat that, Level Up Studio has been working on new version, Beautiful Widgets 5.0., that they teased today with some new screenshots and a some information about improvements.
According to Level Up Studio, the new app is being rewritten from the ground up. One improvement is that the new version will now have a base for future enhancements, helping to decrease the cycle time between updates. For users, Beautiful Widgets 5.0 has improved configuration and preview capabilities and the weather information has been revamped in response to user feedback.
Level Up Studio has not released information about availability, other than indicating it will be released “in a few weeks.” They have put the current version of Beautiful Widgets on sale for 99 cents through Google Play and you will be eligible for the 5.0 update when it is released. If you want to grab it now, just use one of the download links below.

Can you say Epic?! Well, last week Gameloft posted some artwork to tease a new addition to their family and yesterday they released a trailer for this new game called “Wild Blood.” Powered by the Unreal engine, the game looks to be incredibly smooth and makes me want to jump right in, and yield my sword to fend off enemies! I know, I get a little intense when it comes to games like this. Hit the break to check out the beautiful scenery and graphics in the Wild Blood trailer.
Motorola has posted a teaser on its Facebook site indicating a new device coming Friday. Motorola will give one hint each day until the reveal, all we know now is that it’s a 4g LTE device.
Is this the Droid RAZR HD we’ve been waiting for? We hope so. Another possibility is a 4g LTE version of the Photon for Sprint, but that seems less likely.
Either way, we’ll be sure to share whatever Motorola ends up revealing.

Just as they did yesterday, ASUS released another teaser video in preparation for their announcements during next weeks Mobile World Congress. Yesterday’s video seemed to hold more of an obvious clue when you compare it to today’s video. If I had to guess, I would say this video has to do with color options? Maybe a tablet with changeable red white and blue back plates ? I dunno, that’s all I got. What are your thoughts? Either way we will know all there is to know next week. Stay tuned…
A short 17 second teaser video about what ASUS will be showing off at Mobile World Congress 2012 has been posted to YouTube. The video starts with the simple question, “Eager to see more detail?” while we watch a bunch of bouncing balls arrange themselves in a box to form what is obviously a tablet running Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. It finishes by saying, “Twice the detail, twice the fun. Endless possibilities.”
The post about this video on the ASUS Facebook page is filled with comments from people guessing what they are teasing. Many folks believe this is in reference to the Transformer Prime HD (TF700), which comes in at a sharp 1920 x 1200 resolution (that’s WUXGA 1080p, folks). This sure sounds plausible, especially since the video uses balls as pixels to make up a screen, alluding to screen resolution.
