I didn't know about the issues, but I didn't get my order in until December and I received the revised version. The only complaint I have is that the screen is so big compared to my nexus one that I have to hold it differently to reach the top left of the screen with my thumb when holding it with one hand.
Well that solves the awkward issue of Google owning an OEM and dealing w. accusation of playing favorites anyway. So it can be a good thing in the end.
There were reports at least a week ago, possibly longer, of Note 3's receiving an official 4.4 Kitkat update in countries like Poland. It hasn't seemed to reach the UK yet. Are there any other Note 3 owners in Europe that have received an update?
at first I thought this was a hoax lol I am usually quite open about technology, I am a big supporter for google glass for example, but this one kinda worries me. I am not too sure what kind of things they want to achieve here, but I can see how it can be misused dangerously
Google’s long-rumored smartwatch is real, and still “officially” expected to begin shipping in mid to late March. However, many members of the smartwatch team inside Google believe that date will either be pushed back to June, or the watch will end up shipping incomplete with a smaller feature set than originally intended. As it stands now, the timeline for the watch’s release is far from being set in stone.
The smartwatch prototypes are currently on lockdown in a Google building, under high security, and they’re not able to be taken out for fear that news will leak. (Oops.)
According to people familiar with the matter, an early prototype of the watch had a Pebble Steel-like metal band, square face, and a colorful digital display featuring a gradient background where colors gently fade from one to the next. It also seemed to have a more masculine vibe, also like the Pebble Steel.
But we’re hearing now that Google has settled on shipping a watch with a plastic band instead for the initial release. The band was one of many concepts the company was exploring. Like the previous prototype, the watch has a full-color display, with an LCD background that basically looks “like a cheap smartphone,” we’re told, which is capable of displaying a full-color image.
The whole idea behind the watch’s concept is that you shouldn’t have to take out your phone for various ambient alerts, like finding out who’s calling you or who just texted, for example.
Well I was expecting a Touchwiz revamp but it seems like they did an half ass job at it and only did a revamp for the toggles. And maybe copy some useful features like LG's KnockOn or Motorola's Active Notifications instead of Apple's useless fingerprint scanner?
