Huawei Emotion UI available for China’s Android 4.0 users

Posted: 03 Jul 2012 08:55 AM PDT

Huawei has begun pushing out its new Emotion UI for Chinese customers running Android 4.0 or higher, according to reports hitting the internet.  For anyone interested, the hardware maker has put together a website with features, details, download links, and FAQs. As of right now the only devices listed with availability are the Ascend P1E, Honor, and Ascend P1 (soon) however we expect to see all future models added over time.  That is provided they do not come preloaded with the Emotion UI.

We're anxious to see if any U.S. models get the same treatment as Huawei has slowly pushed their foot through the door.  With custom widgets, navigation enhancements, profiles, smart triggers, cloud services, and other customization, Emotion UI seems like the sort of thing that hackers and modders will be all over.

HBO GO now offers Android tablet support

Posted: 03 Jul 2012 07:16 AM PDT

Android tablet owners holding their breath for an HBO GO application can finally exhale.  The streaming service application for Home Box Office now works on Android tablets that aren't named Kindle Fire.  Effectively immediately, the updated app works on all Android tablets running up to v4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich.  The Nexus 7 is now the sole device left off of the supported tablet list however we suspect HBO will want to get to work right away.  With only a few weeks to go before the new $200 tablet hits the streets, we expect the demand to ramp up quickly.
