  25.            <img alt="iPhone 5 carrier update may bring T-Mobile LTE to unlocked GSM models" data-src-height="340" data-src-width="620" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/04/4-2-2013iphoneltet-mo.jpg" />
  26.        </a>
  27.    </p>
  28.    <p> Word on the street is that an update will be hitting the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2013/03/26/t-mobile-iphone-5-hands-on/">iPhone 5</a> on April 5th that will turn on access to T-Mobile's LTE network on unlocked GSM models. While you'll have to wait until <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2013/03/26/t-mobile-iphone/">April 12th</a> to pick up the iOS handset direct from the magenta-hued carrier, those who have been running rogue with unlocked devices from AT&amp;T or purchased direct from Apple should soon be able to run at full, blistering 4G speeds. (Where the fledgling network has been <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2013/03/26/t-mobile-announces-first-lte-markets/">fired up</a>, at least.) The internal notice obtained by <em>TmoNews</em> (which you can see after the break) reads:</p>
  29.    <blockquote>
  30.        <p>
  31.            <span>"The T-Mobile Carrier Update is a minor iOS software update that enables official iPhone support by T-Mobile. When installed, the software update enables a handful of capabilities like Visual Voicemail, MMS Settings and Network/Device optimizations that customers do not have access to today. On April 5, the software update will begin being pushed via OTA to all iPhone devices on the T-Mobile network with iOS 6.1.x or higher."</span>
  32.        </p>
  33.    </blockquote>
  34.    <p> So it's not just LTE, but also some of the basic features that make the iPhone such a compelling product, which will suddenly turn on for T-Mo customers. We'll know soon enough if there's truth to these rumblings, but we'd imagine the iOS update would need to be pushed out ahead of the official T-Mobile iPhone launch.</p>

  74. <p> It looks like Garmin has managed to lock down a very solid deal following its automotive group's <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2013/01/08/garmins-k2-glass-cockpit-hands-on/">compelling demo at CES</a>. The company's in-dash infotainment solution is now set to roll out with future Mercedes-Benz models -- Garmin's navigation system is scheduled to be fully integrated within the next four years, and will begin appearing with select 2014 models. The solution sounds similar to the version we saw on display during CES, and includes a primary panel in the center console, along with a secondary display located behind the steering wheel, tasked with providing key driver stats, along with next turn info, for example.</p>
  75. <p> Mercedes will share more details once specific launch vehicles are announced, but Garmin said to expect features like Advanced Driver Assistance (ADAS), to help out with vehicle positioning, while the car manufacturer will bring tools like a rotary controller and voice commands to the table. What remains to be seen is how TomTom will fit into the mix -- last month, the company announced <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2013/03/05/tomtom-partners-with-fiat-and-toyota/">plans of its own</a> to provide HD Traffic service to certain Mercedes vehicles, though it's unclear if the two GPS giants will be working together on this latest venture.</p>

  108. <p> The second of Amped's <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2013/01/07/amped-wireless-2013/">early 2013 lineup</a> is making its way into stores, snapping at the heels of the recently released <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2013/03/04/amped-wireless-pla2/">PLA2</a>. The REC10 is a wall socket-mounted WiFi range extender that'll add a further 6,500 square feet of coverage onto your home's wireless network. You can snag the hardware now from the company's website for $80, but if you're the type who wants to sample the goods in the plastic flesh, then you can nab 'em from stores within the next few days.</p>

  141. <p> Train stations deep indoors and underground rarely make for the best places to hit up a smartphone for data, yet they're where a lot of <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/Tokyo/">Tokyo</a> residents have to spend their time. Accordingly, it only makes sense that one of the city's chief mass transit providers, Tokyo Metro, would outfit as many of its stations as possible with free WiFi. Expanding on deployments that started in February, every station that Tokyo Metro directly manages now lets travelers hop on WiFi, 15 minutes at a time; Android and iOS users can load up a Manta app to plan their trips and cram in some reading or video in while waiting for the next ride. Whether or not the current arrangement lasts is another matter. The WiFi grid as it exists will continue until the end of July, at which point the network will evolve depending on real-world use. The rollout still won't cover significant stretches of Tokyo, if it holds, but those who want their Google+ on the Ginza line will be happy.</p>

Since the 64GB is an AT&amp;T exclusive, Sprint customers will only be able to grab it in 32GB for $200. Hit the press release for more details.</p>

  215. <p> So, previous taxi WiFi solutions were <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/07/05/free-wifi-in-london-minicabs/">too slow</a>, or you weren't <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2013/01/29/psa-virgin-tube-wifi-costs-from-today/">underground</a>. What's a smartphone-tethered Londoner on the hunt for WiFi supposed to do? The current answer is to flag down one of London's 40 4GEE taxis, all of which will be loaded with WiFi router connected to <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/EE/">EE</a>, the UK's only LTE network. If you're not <em>dahhn sahhf</em>, you'll still be able to pick up the signal in ten cabs that'll be circling Birmingham. Ironically, these 4G-ready black cabs will no longer be black. Nope, they'll be coated in the turquoise hues of the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/11/everything-everywhere-announce-the-uks-first-major-4g-network/">EE network</a>, which should make them easier to spot. Anyone living in either metropolis should have no troubles keeping up with new<em> Doctor Who, Downton Abbey</em> or <em>Peep Show</em> ever again. At least for the next three months, which is how long the service is set to last.</p>

  249. </p>
  250. <p> In the annals of "clever patents that may never amount to anything," we now have an entry from Sony: a method of sensing touch strength with sound. Since capacitive touchscreens can't detect pressure on their own, a second film is needed that can add weight and cost. Sony's freshly granted patent claims that a microphone can take on that job instead by listening to the sound your finger or stylus makes when it hits the screen and deducing force from that. It could also be used with a <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2013/03/06/microsoft-research-mid-air-multitouch-kinect/">camera-based</a> position detection system as shown above, meaning your finger's location <em>and</em> force could be calculated on a non-active surface like an ordinary table. Obviously such a device would only detect taps, not presses, and Sony has claimed a calibration method that the average user may not want to bother with. It probably seemed like a good idea at the time of filing (2009) when other force-sensing <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/15/samsung-galaxy-note-10-1-review/">options</a> had yet to hit market, but this one seems unlikely to see daylight -- though, you <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/09/sony-prototypes-pressure-sensitive-tactile-touchscreen-hopes-to/">never know</a>.</p>

  290. <p> Took a couple of months, but <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/epix/">EPIX</a> is finally ready to fulfill <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2013/01/04/epix-heading-to-playstation-3-and-ps-vita/">its promise</a> of PlayStation 3 movie streaming today. The network's launching its app for the console, giving users access to some 3,000-plus titles including the likes of <em>The Avengers, Skyfall </em>and <em>The Hunger Games,</em> plus a slew of documentaries, concerts and such. The app itself is free, but requires a premium subscription to really do its job. In fact, if you're already a paid-up member of <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/PlayStationPlus/">PlayStation Plus</a>, you'll get a free movie or special every week. A more handheld version of the service is set to hit the Vita in "the coming weeks," according to the company.</p>

  326. <p> When the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/wikipad">Wikipad</a> went from 10.1-inches to just 7-inches <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/07/7-inch-wikipad/">earlier this year</a>, subsequently cutting its price in half alongside the size reduction, the gaming-centric Android tablet went from riskily priced potential failure to affordable item of interest in one swift move. $500 for a 10.1-inch tablet with a proprietary gaming controller peripheral? With a Tegra 3, no less? That already sounds outdated, and at $500, it sounds outright <em>crazy</em>. Though Wikipad promises a 10.-1-inch version is still in the works, the 7-incher is headed for retail in the coming weeks, with the aforementioned Tegra 3 quad-core SoC, a 1,280 x 800 IPS screen, Jellybean 4.1, and that enormous detachable game controller (<em>12</em> buttons in all!). At last week's Game Developers Conference, we had a chance to check out the latest version of the Wikipad just ahead of its retail launch -- for more on that meeting, join us beyond the break.<div class="postgallery">

  379.    <p> Earlier we reported that AT&amp;T's version of the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2013/03/12/htc-one-review/">HTC One</a> would be going on pre-sale sometime this week, and the GSM carrier has finally revealed its official plans: the flagship HTC device will be ready for <a href="http://www.att.com/htcone">pre-order</a> online starting April 4th. Both the 32GB and 64GB models, which will be $200 and $300 respectively, will hit retail store shelves on April 19th. The carrier will also offer a free <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/14/htc-media-link-hd-review/">Media Link HD</a> to sweeten the deal, though it appears that it's only a part of the pre-sale and won't be available to customers who wait until the 19th to grab it. AT&amp;T's keeping all of the standard features found on the global One, but it's also adding its own carrier-branded services -- we expect the full suite of bloatware, but the only ones specifically mentioned are the network's Ready2Go service and DriveMode to prevent texting and driving. Skip down to the press release for more details.th</p>

  415.    <p> While Netflix is focused on a streaming future the first series to appear exclusively on its service will see a more conventional release this summer. <em>High Def Disc News</em> points out an Amazon listing indicates the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/houseofcards/">
  416.    <em>House of Cards</em>
  417. </a> Season One Blu-ray will arrive June 11th, from Sony Pictures. Sony signed on to distribute the Media Rights Capital project worldwide after a window for Netflix's streaming exclusivity, so if <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2013/01/08/netflix-super-hd-3d-streaming/">Super HD</a> still isn't enough quality-wise -- and since 4K streaming isn't here <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2013/03/14/netflix-plans-4k-streaming-within-one-to-two-years/">yet</a> -- you do have other options, currently priced at $52.99 sans details of extras or technical specs.</p>
  418. <p> Users may have also noticed changes recently in Netflix's mobile apps, like their to their ability to play video on other screens. While we'd seen <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/25/netflix-ios-android-ps3-second-screen-remote-control/">the ability to push video to other devices and control playback</a> already, Android users should be seeing some visual tweaks to help owners of compatible devices (Google TV and PS3 for now) figure out how it works. With <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2013/01/24/netflix-youtube-dial/">DIAL-compatible</a> Google TVs the prompt shows up as long as the target device is on (whether or not the app is open), while on the PS3 the Netflix app will need to be open for it to pop up. Something else that's been rolling out is a prompt asking if Netflix can send push notifications, which is used to notify users of things like new seasons of TV shows they've watched becoming available. Check after the break for another screen grab, and let us know if you've noticed any other new features -- other than yesterday's April Fool-related overly-specific content categories -- popping up lately.</p>

  463. </p>
  464. <p> While existing streaming services like <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/Netflix/">Netflix</a> and <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/22/amazon-launches-prime-instant-videos-unlimited-streaming-for-pr/">Amazon Prime</a> stock their virtual shelves with fresh exclusive content, the just-launched Warner Archive Instant is running in the other direction. Drawing on a catalog of rare older (although not necessarily that old, there's a few 90s flicks in there) movies and TV shows from Warner's own history as well as other studios like MGM, RKO, and Allied Artists, the service promises a regularly updated bundle of selections for $9.99 per month. Now available to all after a few months in closed beta testing, there's a two week free trial available if you're not sure whether the selection fits your tastes.</p>
  465. <p> Not all of the titles are remastered in high definition, but those lucky selections can be streamed to your <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/Roku/">Roku</a> in up to 1080p resolution (the Silverlight player for PCs and Macs does not support HD at this time). That's currently the only connected TV device supported, although others are said to be on the way. Not sure what to watch? Hit the showcase section for curated playlists of highlight content based on various themes. For fans of classic cinema we can think of few ways to get your fix, although the (relatively) tiny library of a few hundred choices and focus on rare content may leave most mainstream viewers cold.</p>

  507. <p> Wacom wants to make sure there's no buyer's remorse for those who didn't pop for a <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/23/samsung-galaxy-note-8-preview/">pen-equipped device</a>, so it added the Bamboo Stylus mini to its portable touch-pen lineup. It joins the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/12/04/wacom-bamboo-stylus-feel/">Stylus Feel</a>, Solo, Pocket and <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/10/wacom-bamboo-stylus-duo-draws-on-tablets-and-paper/">Duo</a>, but brings a stubbier 4.7 centimeter (1.85 inch) form factor and strap with a dummy mini-jack plug for terminal pen mis-placers. Despite the whimsical look, Wacom says the body is brass plated, has six colors of soft-touch rubber and nibs that are replaceable with firm or soft touch options. You can color in your order now for $19 at the source.</p>

  543. <p> Programs have a certain magic power over littluns, sending them into a trance-like state and then having them beg for merchandise afterwards. The perpetual tinkerers over at <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/adafruit/">Adafruit</a> don't expect you to <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2013/03/14/pikachu-yellow-3ds-xl-coming-to-us-march-24/">
  544. <em>catch 'em all</em>
  545. </a>, though, and have debuted their own show called <i>Circuit Playground</i> -- an educational YouTube series teaching kids about electronics. In the first episode, we learn all about Amperes and are introduced to our hosts: a free-willed human and ADABOT, a charming puppet presenter (just don't tell <i>them</i> that). Following the letters of the alphabet, expect 25 more installments and, if the intro sequence is any indication, a bunch of component-based characters to keep the sprogs interested. If you need 3 minutes and 50 seconds of peace and quiet, or just want to brush up on the basics yourself, head past the break for the first episode. Next time on <i>Circuit Playground</i>: "B is for <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/battery/">Battery</a>."</p>

  587. <p> Your current smartphone just took another spin backwards on the obsolescence cycle thanks to a new landmark from ARM and TSMC: the first <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/30/arm-cortex-a50/">Cortex-A57</a> has reached the "tape out" stage, meaning it's ready for mass production. The new chip will use TSMC's 16nm FinFET <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/13/arm-and-globalfoundries-hammer-out-20nm-deal/">technology</a> (though the transistors will be 20nm for the A57) and will bring up to three times the CPU power of <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2013/03/15/samsung-puts-exynos-5-octa-into-mass-production/">current chips</a> for the same battery life -- or a maximum of five times the battery life at the same speed. The companies said they ramped the chip from design to tape out in a mere six months, though there's no timetable for its arrival in specific devices. When it does start hitting next gen phones and slates though, expect the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/GLBenchmark/">performance charts</a> to get singed.</p>

  622. <p> It might not have the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/13/apple-loses-iphone-trademark-in-brazil/">trademark</a>, but that hasn't stopped Apple shaving the cost of its entry-level <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/iphone-4-review/">iPhone 4</a> and <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/14/iphone-4s-review/">4S</a>' to something closer to its price tag in North America. The 16GB iPhone 4S is now R$1,699 ($840), down from R$1,999, while the 8GB flavor of the iPhone 4 now rings in at R$1,099 ($544), reduced from R$1,499. According to <em>O Globo</em>, if you're willing to pay upfront in full (and by phone) you can even snatch an extra 10 percent off both. Otherwise, Brazilians will need to visit the online store to lay claim to the heavily-discounted handsets.</p>

  671.        <span> Live, a content discovery interface introduced on iOS <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/28/tunein-live/">back in February</a>. What this really amounts to is an extra tab on the app's main screen, but what it offers is pretty neat: a customizable layout of eight tiles, each previewing live music representative of its respective category. Users can peek at what various stations are playing at a glance, casually flipping through their favorite genre's live offerings by swiping each tile individually. It's nothing we haven't already seen from the folks at TuneIn, but its nice to see the app updating consistently across platforms. Check out the adjacent <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/GooglePlay/">Google Play</a> link to snag the update for yourself.</span>

  716.    <span>We might have spent a few hours toying with Samsung's <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2013/03/14/samsung-galaxy-s-4-preview/">new mobile hardware</a>, but some tinkerers over at <em>XDA-Developers</em> claim have had enough time to root the Galaxy S 4, already. This means those (very) early adopters might be able to peruse the inner workings as soon as it arrives on store shelves. There's a video of the process after the break and you can pick up all the necessary custom ROM files (and warnings of <em>not to meddle with what you do not understand</em>) at the source. There is one tiny caveat to the news, however, as the rooting magic is focused squarely on the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2013/03/15/samsung-puts-exynos-5-octa-into-mass-production/">Exynos 5 Octa</a> model for now. According to <em>SAM Mobile</em>, several batches of the new Galaxy phone are rumored to be packing Qualcomm's Snapdragon 600 instead of Samsung's homemade chip series. An official spokesperson from the UK branch has confirmed that it'll arrive in the there with the Snapdragon processor.</span>

  719.    <strong>Update: </strong>Perhaps we were a little too zealous. Notable smartphone tinkerer <a href="https://twitter.com/ChainfireXDA">Chainfire</a> has taken to Google Plus to note that this would be a pretty huge accomplishment given the limited number of handsets currently out there. Most of the <em>XDA-Developers</em> thread details custom ROMs, while the Galaxy S 4 apparently has a few extra tricks to slow down the rooting process. Read Chainfire's full breakdown in More Coverage. Apologies for any confusion.</p>

  762. <p> A fresh release of <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/Pandora/">Pandora's</a> Android app hit <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2013/03/05/google-play-first-birthday-free-downloads-discounts/">Google Play</a>, and it carries a light, but welcome changelog. New lock screen controls for hardware packing Ice Cream Sandwich or later flavors of Google's confection-themed OS headline the update. In addition, the revamp brings shortened startup times for the application and a track progress indicator that sports elapsed and remaining timestamps. Naturally, assorted bug fixes and enhancements round out the tweaks. Click the bordering source link to snag the download.</p>

  799.    <p> We have to be skeptical when new devices arrive at the FCC without photos or a blinking sign that says "I Am AT&amp;T's Samsung Galaxy S 4." But even doubters can likely tie that model to a certain Samsung SGH-I337 that the FCC just waved through. Why? First off, it's carrying a certain LTE band 17 used exclusively by AT&amp;T in the US (in addition to bands 2, 4 and 5, also frequently featured by the carrier's LTE devices). Secondly, the dimensions line up perfectly with the device we recently got our <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2013/03/14/samsung-galaxy-s-4-preview/">hands on</a> at Samsung's recent Galaxy S 4 <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2013/03/14/relive-samsung-unpacked-2013-and-the-launch-of-the-galaxy-s-4-i/">phone-a-palooza</a>. Finally, we <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2013/01/28/samsung-sch-i337/">already saw</a> a device packing the same model number on <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/28/mobile-miscellany/">UAProf</a>, a normally reliable source that revealed a 1,920 x 1,080 screen and "ARM11" Exynos processor. Since it's unlikely the carrier has another unannounced 1080p model coming from Samsung, those coveting an AT&amp;T GS 4 can probably start <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2013/03/28/samsung-galaxy-s-4-att-preorder/">warming up</a> their wallets.</p>

  838. <p> It's been relatively easy to get your hands on an expressive <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/robot,face/">robot face</a>... if you're rich or a scientist, that is. XYZbot would like to give the rest of us a shot by crowdfunding Fritz, an <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/Arduino/">Arduino</a>-powered robot head. The build-it-yourself (and eerily human-proportioned) construction can react to pre-programmed actions, text-to-speech conversion or live control, ranging from basics like the eyes and jaw to the eyelids, eyebrows, lips and neck of an Advanced Fritz. Windows users should have relatively simple control through an app if they just want to play, but where Fritz may shine is its open source nature: the code and hardware schematics will be available for extending support, changing the look or building a larger robot where Fritz is just one part. The $125 minimum pledge required to set aside a Fritz ($199 for an Advanced Fritz) isn't trivial, but it could be a relative bargain if XYZbot makes its $25,000 goal -- and one of the quickest routes to <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/uncannyvalley/"> not-quite-lifelike</a> robotics outside of a research grant.</p>

  880. <p> When <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/MichaelDell/">Michael Dell</a> signaled intentions to <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/05/dell-going-private-ms-loan/">take his company private</a> for an overhaul, there were questions as to just what he wanted to do if and when shareholders weren't <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2013/03/23/potential-dell-bidding-war-afoot-as-blackstone-group-and-carl-ic/">watching his every move</a>: was he going to shift attention away from PCs toward the enterprise? There's no reason to worry, according to a staff memo that his company has published through the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/SEC/">SEC</a>. Dell tells his employees that the firm will "significantly increase investment" in PCs and tablets after going private. While he's cryptic about what that means, he does note that there would be a shift away from valuing gross margins -- in other words, the company may take a hit on profits to make its device sales sing. Other strategies are more what you'd expect from any good business: more research and development, a simpler experience and a stronger push into developing markets like Brazil and China. We can't say we're completely surprised when Microsoft made an investment in Dell's reorg precisely to safeguard PCs, but it's good to know that Dell's interest in PCs still extends well beyond the server room.</p>

  923. <p> We've some really unfortunate news to share with <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/11/15/nokia-lumia-810-for-t-mobile-review/">Lumia 810</a> owners who'd purchased the handset on T-Mobile's word that a software update would enable LTE support. As it turns out, despite the Lumia 810's hardware readiness and regulatory approval to access Band 4 LTE, that's not going to happen -- T-Mobile isn't going to release the update. Sadly, this isn't an April Fools' prank. If you're scratching your head about the revelation, you're not alone. Representatives for the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/t-mobile/">UnCarrier</a> first <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2013/01/31/t-mobile-lte-smartphones/">revealed to us</a> back in January that a software update would enable LTE functionality, which is a position that it's maintained up through last week. As it stands, this leaves T-Mobile without an LTE offering for Windows Phone users, as the smartphone field is now limited to the Apple iPhone 5, BlackBerry Z10, HTC One, Samsung Galaxy Note II and Galaxy S4. We've asked T-Mobile whether it might make concessions to those who purchased the Lumia 810 on good faith that an LTE software update would be released, but for the moment, you'll need to find solace in the carrier's speedy HSPA+ 42 network.</p>

  957. <p> We haven't even had the chance to see the 5.5-inch <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/optimusgpro/">Optimus G Pro</a> available outside Korea, but LG is already claiming a sales record. The latest supersized phone notched 10,000 orders at launch, leading to half a million sold just 40 days after its launch and ahead of its coming April <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2013/03/13/lg-optimus-g-pro-eye-recognition/">update</a>. We found plenty to like about the Optimus G Pro <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2013/03/05/lg-optimus-g-pro-review/">when we reviewed it</a> -- that it closely follows the Galaxy Note II's <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/11/25/samsung-galaxy-note-ii-5-million-sold/">succesful</a> formula while packing the brand-new Qualcomm 600 quad-core CPU doesn't hurt. LG's pushed the phone with several promotions, including letting potential customers try one for 30 days to see how they live with its size. An LG executive quoted in the PR sees this increased communication continuing to push sales at home and abroad, but there's still no word on exactly when that will be on this side of the Pacific.</p>
