Verizon HTC One announcement pushed till mid-August Jul 31st 2013, 14:00, by Robert Nelson HTC One rumors had been suggesting the handset would be arriving with Verizon Wireless on August 1st. That date had seemed just as good as any, as far as rumored dates go. But then Motorola announced an August 1st event for the unveiling of the Moto X smartphone. The Moto X is expected with a wide variety of carriers including Big Red and it looks like that may have caused the HTC One launch date to slip. According to a new leak, Verizon will not be launching the HTC One until August 15th. The details of the date change come by way of a leaked internal document. Of course, the key here is that this is a leaked document and therefor unconfirmed. Then again, that August 1st date was never confirmed either. Officially Verizon has simply said the HTC One would be available “this summer.” Looking at the calendar and we know that could mean anytime up through September 21. Aside from the launch of the Moto X (which we will be live on-site to bring the latest) and the HTC One, Verizon also recently announced a trio of DROID branded handsets including the Ultra, Maxx and Mini. These three are currently available for pre-order but are not going to begin shipping until August 20th. Basically, that is just another way of saying that you may want to hold off on those pre-orders for the moment. You know, to give some time to see what Verizon has planned for the HTC One and Moto X. We already know the specs of the HTC One and the new DROID line, however there is still quite a bit to learn about the Moto X. With that in mind, it does seem as if a big focus of the Moto X will be in the experience more so than the specs. Anyway, the Moto X pricing remains a mystery, the DROID lineup is sitting at $99, $199 and $299 for the Mini, Ultra and Maxx respectively. The HTC One is priced at $199.99 for the 32GB model with other carriers, but similar to the launch date with Verizon, they have yet to mention anything in regards to the pricing. Bottom line here, it looks like August is shaping up to be a good month for those looking for a new Verizon branded handset.

The app is available by way of the Google Play Store and is dubbed Office Mobile for Office 365. The app itself is free to download, however as the name would imply — it is intended for Office 365 users. Specifically, for Office 365 users with an active subscription. The other requirement for using the Office Mobile app is a smartphone running Android 4.0 or later. Assuming you are an Office 365 subscriber and carrying a compatible smartphone, the app does actually offer quite a bit of functionality. To begin with, Office Mobile means you can access your files while out and about. And in addition to simple access, the app will allow you to view and edit Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents. The app brings support for features to include charts, animations, SmartArt Graphics and shapes. There is also a resume reading feature which means you will be able to open a file on your smartphone and have it pick up where it was last read — even if that file was last read on another device. Office Mobile also includes Presentation Views which is the Slide Navigator view in PowerPoint. This means the user can browse the slides faster while still keeping your presentation on track with the speaker notes. Otherwise, Office Mobile for Office 365 allows for access to files stored in the cloud (on SkyDrive or SharePoint), from the recent documents menu panel and from email attachments. Aside from the requirement of an Office 365 account, the resume reading and recent documents features are limited to those with Microsoft Office 2013 installed on a computer. The Office 365 subscriptions vary and include everything from a Home Premium and Small Business Premium level to options for education and larger offices. The price varies by subscription level, but as an example the Home Premium level includes the latest version of Office as well as an additional 20GB of SkyDrive cloud storage and Skype world minutes for $9.99 per month or $99.99 per year.
