Google Glass gets XE11 update, adds new directions, calendar search, setup and screencasting shortcut
Nov 7th 2013, 16:44, by Phil Nickinson

Google Glass XE11 update

A quick heads up for you folks (OK, you few folks) out there sporting Google Glass. The November update — XE11 — is now available.

New this month is the ability to designate home and work locations on Glass — just like you can in Google Maps, the easier to find your way home or to work. (And, more important, to route you around any traffic.)

You'll also be getting personalized calendar search, so you can ask Glass to show you what's coming up.

There's a new setup scheme as well, but you'll need to do a hard-reset to see that.

And finally there's a new shortcut in the notification drawer of your phone for screencasting.

Google's also changed up the shortcut for initiating a search. Instead of long-pressing the touchpad, you'll need to tap it three times slowly when the display is off.

Lookout security coming to AT&T Android phones
Nov 7th 2013, 16:32, by Alex Dobie

Lookout

Security software to be loaded on all compatible AT&T Android devices

Mobile security firm Lookout has announced that it's partnering with AT&T to bring its Android security suite to all compatible AT&T phones in the future. The app, which is already preinstalled on AT&T's Galaxy Note 3, is one of the leading antivirus and theft-protection apps on Android, with features designed to repel both digital and physical security threats.

Lookout has made the news with a number of high-profile partnerships over the past few months. It recently inked a deal with Samsung to include its software included as part of the KNOX enterprise security suite. And back in July the company partnered with T-Mobile to bring free Lookout security subscriptions to its Asurion PHP and Jump! customers.

With both Samsung and AT&T now onboard, Lookout looks set to significantly grow its user base in the months ahead.

HTC One successor 'M8′ spied in first leaked images
Nov 7th 2013, 15:38, by Scott Webster

The first few images of HTC’s alleged successor to the HTC One have made their way online. Known by its code name of ‘M8′ the phone should pick up right where the current model leaves off, but with general improvements across the board.

So what do the leaked photos tell us? Not a ton, but just enough to keep the buzz going for a little bit. Notice that new hole cutout at the top of the rear panel? Guess what will likely go there? Yep, a fingerprint scanner, much like the HTC One Max.

Specifications thus far include a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, 3GB RAM, and a screen in the vicinity of 5-inches to 5.2-inches. Likely powered by Android 4.3 or 4.4, the smartphone should be among the first to run HTC Sense 6 UI.

Beta Review: Any.Do Cal – A simple, elegant calendar with great functionality
Nov 7th 2013, 16:27, by Sean Nolan

NOTE: This review is based on a beta version – things might change by the time it makes a public release

A few weeks ago, I was fortunate enough to notice a Google+ post making the rounds which offered a place in the "Any.do super users community". Naturally, I didn’t hesitate, and jumped at the opportunity. For those who are like me and instantly fell in love with Any.do, you'll undoubtedly love Any.do Cal. It follows the same mantra: less is more. Just like Any.do, I was delighted to find a perfect balance was struck between design and functionality. The ability to select different themes as the background for your calendar is a nice touch, really helping to make it your own personal calendar. A fluid motion from day to day view topped off with a simple pull-down into a full month view makes it extremely easy to navigate.

In terms of functionality, I personally couldn’t fault it. The ability to select which calendars it synchronizes with was perfect, and it also gave me the option to ignore all those annoying Facebook birthdays – or add them, if I ever felt the need. The integration with Google maps for event locations, while the norm amongst calendars, just seemed so much better with its Any.do teams UI.  Most importantly for me, however, was that it syncs with Any.do - although that was surely a given.

At the end of the day I honestly really enjoy this application. It just works, and works well at that. Coupled with a beautiful layout and design, what more could I ask for?

Unfortunately there's no word yet on a full public release date, but we’ll keep you updated, should that situation change. If you’re interested in joining the group, hit up this link to check it out on Google+.
