HTC M7 introduction might be sooner than you think

It had been thought that the HTC M7, the next flagship Android model for the Taiwan based manufacturer, would be introduced at MWC in Barcelona. The annual event starts on February 25th. But wouldn't it be great if the phone was unveiled earlier? If a particular tweet contains legitimate information, the HTC M7 will be unwrapped a few days earlier next month. According to a person who claims to have connections from his "many years of work in the field," the handset will be revealed on February 19th at a dedicated event in London.

Now a few days earlier might not seem like a big deal to many of you, but hey, we're talking about a full HD resolution on a 4.7 inch display. That works out to an unearthly 468ppi pixel density. And while we are on the subject of tweets, as we told you Tuesday night, @evleaks sent one out yesterday revealing that T-Mobile is not going to get this device. That leaves Verizon, AT&T and Sprint customers interested in what happens in London next month.

Photo Sharing App Makes People Think Before They Post with 1 Post a Day

London, United Kingdom – Today’s Social Networks offer an unfiltered environment where users can post and share an unlimited amount of memories and thoughts to an infinite amount of connections. This mass creates a noise, which makes it hard to connect to those members you really care about. This often leaves us sorting through system-filtered posts to help us find those that are most meaningful. It is no wonder then, that despite social app time growing 76% from last year much of the sentiment after participating in social media was “overwhelmed”, “anxious” and “wasted time” according to the 2012 Social Report by Nielson.

PicIT24 1.0 was created to simplify sharing by increasing the quality of posted memories by limiting the number of posts members can share to only one photo or quote within a 24-hour period. The goal of the app is to make people think before posting by having them consider one question, “If I could only share one thing today, what would that be?”

“Essentially PicIT24 helps to solve how overloaded and disenchanted users are getting with social sharing by pushing the curation of content back to the users. Rather than having users share en masse and have the system use its algorithm to select what to share to their community, PicIT24 members are now in complete control of the one thing they want their followers to see that day.” Says PicIT24 Founder, Fred Sachs.

“Too much choice leads to indecision, and so, paralyzed, we expose our followers to overwhelming amounts of poorly chosen content. In turn they struggle to keep up, understand and appreciate what we have to say. We believe a lack of content selectivity is counterproductive to your audience. To address these issues PicIT24 was created.” he adds.

On top of increasing the meaningfulness of posts, PicIT24 also allows for creation of groups to make it even easier to keep in touch with selections of followers. Allowing members to stay in touch with larger networks in shorter time frames.

In addition, the profile page allows for a unique content to time association, with every day representing an item of content. Members can also easily filter through posts by tapping on a location or filtering by calendar date.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS/4/4S/5, iPod touch (3rd/4th/5th generation), and iPad
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later
* 3.1 MB

Pricing and Availability:
PicIT24 1.0 is free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Photo & Video category. Members can also login to the PicIT24 website to view and share memories.

PicIT24 was created to quiet the noise created from oversharing on a growing amount of social networks. Our goal was to reduce the volume of sharing and create a quality-focused network where only the most memorable moments are captured. As a result we created PicIT24, a social sharing app and website where only one moment (photo or quote) can be shared within a 24 hour time period. For us, less is more. Copyright (C) 2012 PicIT24.
