I'm sure we all know what a Zoe is by now, but I thought I'd share with you a few of the Zoe highlights that I've found which have been uploaded to Zoe Share.
http://htcsource.com/2013/02/htc-zo...irst-zoe-highlights-are-shared-among-friends/
I can't wait to get my HTC One to create Zoe's. If you happen to spot any other Zoe Share links on twitter or facebook, please share them here.
Thanks.
If Zoe catches on with masses it could be a complete gamechanger for HTC. I mean it is pretty cool and the fact that u really don't need yo do anything for it to do its thing leads me to believe its got a chance of making a difference BIG TIME.

When did society become so open, so voyeuristic, so enamored with the idea that everyone else in the world really gives a damn what you did today or any other day? It has happened in my lifetime for sure because people weren't that way when I was growing up. All these Twitters, Facebooks, etc.. It's all so arrogant. None of it is necessary. It's interesting to me, like watching an ant farm.

I agree with you to an extent. I only use Social Media in very close knit circles, twitter is merely to ask questions to companies and facebook is close friends and familes (63 friends). But for some odd reason i liked the zoeshare of the randomers.
I wonder if HTC will release Zoe as an app for android, and heaven forbid iOS. It just seems like a less idiotic vine and could possibly be a big deal.

I'm sorry to say it, but declaring judgement on other people based on your own opinions .. now THAT's arrogant ... so why don't I tell you from just one person out of a billion's viewpoint ...
First off, I don't suppose Zoe shares will be public broadcast material. I've seen nowhere on the ZoeShare site that lets you see or choose from the Zoes shared on the site. They are there to be viewed by friends and family who are actually given the URL to that specific Zoe. Of course once you make that share public then you are in the Facebook - public broadcast arena and that's your own choice.
As for usefulness ... Here is one old geezer's take on Zoe and ZoeShare ...
I'm 63 years old, and my mother is 86. She is semi-blind, but can watch TV, so the family set her up with a connection from her PC to her TV set so she can still surf (she remembers how to touch type) and view mails and images etc. in a nice big format.
My wife and I live in Holland and so do both my daughters (two of her four grandchildren and her only granddaughters) and my four grandchildren (four of her five great grandchildren). My mom lives in England ... so there's only really mail/e-mail and telephone that keeps us all together and we do stay in constant touch. I often send her photos of odd things, family days, kids losing teeth etc. and she loved to receive them. they are her company on the long days alone.
To be able to send her LIVING photographs in a Zoe collection by just mailing her a link will be great for both of us. She gets to see her photographs of the Dutch end of the family coming alive on her TV with no effort at all, and I get to produce the Zoes for her to see ... again with no effort at all.
I'm choosing to use an HTC One expressly for that purpose... I can use any phone to make calls, and andriod is pretty much the same under the skin on every phone ... but only one phone has Zoe ... that's the deal maker.
I like the idea of Zoe, this is going to make a pretty slick and different way of sharing. For the most part I throw vids on youtube and pics on picasa as I do not do the Facebook thing. I am not going to share it with the world just family. I don't tweet my days life like you seem to think everyone does.
I'm looking forward to this and the whole phone in general because it kicks arse all the way around!
Here's a few more that's I've spotted on Twitter

Oh, I watch the second link before..
Allow me to tell the story:-
As you can see, that the building is HTC Taipei headquater.. This *Zoe Share* originated from one of those HTC staff that have tester unit..
His friend (claimed to be, I would say suspicious self-disguise) took it and manage to published a long introduction/tutorial on several Taiwanese Forums. Then, the post was suddenly redacted a day later.. Perhaps he draw some concern from his superiors.
I meant to translate the article to english and publish on XDA. I contacted the author and he said he will republish again when allowed.
So, get ready for it.. I will post an english version here too..
Hopefully soon..

It is interesting to think about, and some criticize the phenomenon while others defend it -- and that probably depends a lot on how you came up in this world.
I'm 40, and saw the advent of the internet grow through my teens and 20s, and I fully remember a life where we didn't have every piece of information imaginable at our fingertips. Now I have 4 teenage girls who don't know this "less connected" life we older generations know of -- they are totally immersed in the connected life without any idea that the more "disconnected" life worked as well. They love constantly sharing the more mundane details that we didn't think needed to be shared.
But the new images we share is not reality, but only part of it -- the part that we want to play up and make public. We will always have another part we keep private, and in that respect, nothing has really changed that much. We are just more informed.
They'd need to make more themes to choose from for that. Otherwise the world of HTC Zoe's would be full of the same 6 themes from the masses.

Hi Everyone
The Engadget show, demo'd some great UI's from TAT using 3D on a desire!
Take a look:
Engadget Show around 59min http://podcasts.aolcdn.com/engadget/videos/show/engadget_show_013_hd.mp4
or direct on youtube:
3D Map UI: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=InBOO8jrnM0
could be a real possibility! Hope its gets leaked!
2D/3D List:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5I5reODnVdc
The clip from Engadget is much better, the host even jokes about the apk file
OH MY LIFE!
Been waiting on news from TAT for months. Glad to see it working on the Desire. Doubt itll leak though, theyve been testing for a year or so and no one has dropped anything. Dont wven know if any testers had posted anything about it.
Sent from my HTC Desire
The demo showcases what is possible with the desires hardware and possible routes for future smartphone UI's
It can offer us so much more. Just need more devs on board!
Well, if we can generated a lot of interest, we might see some movement from TAT!

Just shows that HTC arent the only ones to make a great overlay system on Android. Theyve taken the benchmark and gone an extra mile with their work.
I absolutely love everything ive seen from TAT, its just visually stunning and looks easy to use. Heard they arent going to release it publically via the market etc, but that was a while ago and its come a long way since then.

wow thats awesome.
hope its not true that they wont release it publicly
thats pretty immense.
not a fan of sense, and android being ugly, this pretty much has me gobsmacked.
would happily kill people to get this.
I'm sure someone would be able to "acquire" this, seeing as the people here have repeatedly performed the impossible, and done nothing short of miracles
I look forward to this, even more than gingerbread or the new sense
only problem now, this will now haunt my dreams till it's on my desire

Over a year of testing on old devices and now up to date ones, not a single apk has been leaked. Theyve done the best job at keeping it hush than any other devs and im impressed by it. Annoyed, but impressed
Sent from my HTC Desire
They have apparently released a few TAT home beta "previews"
"Why wasn't I part of the UX Preview?
We were completely overwhelmed by the number of people who signed up. To keep things under control and take care of feedback in a good way, we could send the preview out to only a few of the 60,000 who offered to participate."
http://tat.se/home/
Surely someone would of leaked it, but heh.
EDIT: It seems like the UI is a "for sale" basis to vendors who want a custom UI. So no marketplace apk, maybe a flashable zip, but chances are, it's going to be like sense. A major annoyance
Found a Fuse concept phone bearing the TAT3D which has been designed by thealloy.com, who, judging by their website, have worked with several large UK companies to bring "interesting" styles to the home...

Without actually using the app, how can one dismiss the concept so quickly? I guess the tilt with have accelerateometer setting allowing you to adjust sensitivity. If you need a simple contact list, open the stock contact widget!

So yesterday i received a cr-48 from google. I about **** myself. Being one of the lucky ones i decided to start a blog that compared my evo and the netbook. What I'm looking for is ideas to do comparisons on. From simple to complex and anything in between. After a day of pretty intense use i haven't been able to find much on the basic side of things that one trumps the other on.
So shoot me ideas on what i could try to make these 2 devices do battle with. Post 2 will be reserved for things covered and things to be covered. I will try to keep up with this as much as possible and post my review and comparison at http://evovscm48.blogspot.com/

At least give us a picture of the thing, sheesh.
How is the call quality on the netbook? I know...bad comparison. I bet the evo wins.
This gives me a great idea! I got these apples the other day, I'm gonna go out and get me some oranges and do a comparison.

Wow, you got your Cr-48 late. I got mine 2 months ago when they first started shipping.
Have you discovered where the dev switch is yet?
Hell...I'm just happy I got one.
I just got mine too a couple days ago.
I haven't gotten one yet, still hoping to, but I've seen some other sites that say that the cr-48 has Bluetooth in it so that plus the Verizon card built into it might work for calls or voip.

Regarding the closing of the Thread about the CM7 boobies:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1002236
How lovely it is to see that it's perfectly OK to post a picture on this forum of a gaggle of women with their boobs literally falling out of their shirts and procede to call anyone who objects prudes, queers and p*ssywhipped (and their girlfriends are called fat, ugly, b*tches and hos.)
People immediately got up in arms about how the sky is falling, the liberals are taking over the country and how real Red Blooded A'merkins are able to appreciate the human body and everyone else should all just get over it.
I (half jokingly) posted a photo of a guy in a tight swimsuit with a CyanogenMod logo photoshopped on and it is immediately removed and the thread is then locked.
Talk about this board's (and many of its user's and mod's) misogynistic, homophobic double standards.

Nah. I didn't even see it.
The thread didn't offend me (nor did the original CM7 wallpaper) as much as it annoyed me. All this posturing about how boobies is art is just rediculous. I totally called it early in the thread that if the tables were reversed and there was a bulging speedo that the same people would suddenly turn their nose and start clutching their pearls. Well, there ya go.

Dude. Your pic was a dude with a see through thing.. nobody wanted to see his actual schlong.
The CM wall had underboobs, not any nudity. You see more than underboob at a swimming pool. I do agree that it was lame that it got closed, but the D*ck pic was too much.

Yeah, but you agree with anything anti-cm, so no surprises there. I can understand not liking CM, but I don't understand being anti-cm. Not starting a fight here, and you can feel however you want, just calling it like I see it...and right now, I see a vocal minority constantly bashing a dev teams work, for no reason other than they can. I have used some version of nearly every rom posted on this board, and before I got my Evo, all the roms that dropped on the Hero. I liked vaelpak, and LOVED mikfroyo, but when it comes down to it, I don't use HTC's ui. Even on sense roms, I used awd or launcher pro or go launcher...so why bother with sense at all? But, if you use sense ui and like those widgets, then why use CM? There is no need for aol the thread-crapping going on lately.
As far as THIS thread is concerned, the pc bull$h1t has gotta stop. it it not exploitative to take pictures of someone because they are pretty our handsome, as long as they are consenting adults...or no more exploitative than it would be to take pictures of someone because they are average-looking. People need to grow up and stop getting offended over everything. Hell, I hafta sensor my language CONSTANTLY on this site, for fear if someone getting their panties in a bunch. They are words, people. Just words. Does it change ANYTHING about the meaning of my post if I type "eff this bs" versus actually using the real words? Of course not. Everyone reading this post understood not just what I meant, but what actual words I was using...so why then bother. Grrr. [/rant]

How do you know "nobody wanted to see" it? There are chicks and gay dudes on this site, too. Besides, this is my actual point, conveniently illustrated (thanks for that). There is NOTHING different about seeing a penis or breasts and seeing an arm or a face. They are different parts of the same body. And don't give me that "sexual organs" crap, unless you are making people wear mittens and cover their mouths, too. Do you make your significant other wear a face mask in public? Mouths can be pretty....stimulating.
Sure, but that isn't the problem at hand. It doesn't matter if you think its fine, pictures like that, that show sexual organs are not socially acceptable in the us. The cm picture is socially acceptable. And since this is the evo forum... pretty much everyone here is from the us. Your problem is with society ... I didn't see the picture though so no comment on it.

Save the self righteous blah blah talk. I have kids in the room when I browse XDA, I can explain bathing suit or underboob shots.. I can't explain a d*ck shot to my 9 year old daughter. Do you walk around a public pool with your johnson hanging out? Nope, you don't. BUt you can walk around anywhere with the outfit the CM wall girl had on.

I walk around the pool in my bathing suit with my "diggler" hanging out but that's not by choice lmfao. If kids are present how do I hide my anatomy; do I have a secret compartment in my a$$ or something? Do I unscrew it and leave it in the car. I love boobies myself, but that boobies pic is the same as the guy in the thong. That guy was considered half naked and so were the women. There's no exception. If those chicks were around your kids you'd feel the same way about the guy; you'd want to protect your kids from ALL forms of nudity.

It was a see through Thong.. if it was just a thong it wouldn't be near an issue. You guys can try and "fight the world" all you want. It won't work.
If you need to know why an underboob picture and a picture of an actual d*ck are different, then it's your own fault.. not mine.
Trust me, your "diggler" is not exposed at a public pool so save it. Try and show your "diggler" off at a pool full of kids and we'll be looking at your profile on a sex offender site. Then nobody would care if you could unscrew your johnson and shove it up your own azz or not.
EDIT: for the record, I have reported at least 2 pictures of a naked boob (as much as I like boobs) in the theme section as well.. a naked boob is much different than an underboob... I like porn as much as anyone, come check my pc =p. There are just plenty of sites available for full nudity..not a dev site.

I get your point. I also have a baby girl(2) rather it be tits or dudes junk in a bathing suit I protect her from all if it. Even if I had a son he would be to young to see the same ish. Half tits in bikins are no worse than a see through guy thong. So when you buy underwear/boxers they always have a guy in pretty much the same **** on the cover. Do you not buy because there's a guy w/ rock hard abs in tightly whities LOL. I don't see what the big deal was. That image was the typical image that's used to market all sorts of things. I'm a heterosexual male but that pic didn't offend me at all like it did a lot of you. I'm just saying they immediately removed it because it was a guy but they had tits all over the place. I really don't care but there are gays and women in here who find that socially acceptable. I never said I show my diggler to kids, I'm saying anatomy is everywhere, somes show more than others get over it LOL.
Edit: just so you know I'd never wear a thong like that because kids are always around. I would protect someone else kids from the same things I do mine.

Actually, that depends entirely on where you live. Yes, there are lots of places where you can swim totally nude, AND THERE ARE ALSO PLACES WHERE YOU ABSOLUTELY CAN NOT WEAR WHAT THOSE GIRLS WERE WEARING WITHOUT BEING ARRESTED FOR INDECENCY. So which is right? And why? (with reasons based in logic, please) For the record, I have a four-year-old girl, so it isn't like I don't know what its like to have kids...and btw, you trying to force your ideas about decency on everyone else is the very definition of "self-righteous" just as much as mine is. Your morals are not the only ones, or the"correct" ones, they are what you are used to.

Places where you can swim totally nude aren't places you stumble onto while browsing an internet forum about android. You wouldn't walk unknowingly with your kids to a nude beach..
I do agree that everyone's morals are different, and nobody is forcing mine on you, so I should have the same right. When I open a thread on a site like this that is not at all an x-rated site and see a johnson.. then my choice is being taken from me.
It didn't offend me in the least, everyone is allowed to have the porn of their choice.. just not here. Like it or not, seeing a ding-a-ling and seeing an underboob is different, regardless of how people try to spin it.

I get your point. I also have a baby girl(2) rather it be tits or dudes junk in a bathing suit I protect her from all if it. Even if I had a son he would be to young to see the same ish. Half tits in bikins are no worse than a see through guy thong. So when you buy underwear/boxers they always have a guy in pretty much the same **** on the cover. Do you not buy because there's a guy w/ rock hard abs in tightly whities LOL. I don't see what the big deal was. That image was the typical image that's used to market all sorts of things. I'm a heterosexual male but that pic didn't offend me at all like it did a lot of you. I'm just saying they immediately removed it because it was a guy but they had tits all over the place. I really don't care but there are gays and women in here who find that socially acceptable. I never said I show my diggler to kids, I'm saying anatomy is everywhere, somes show more than others get over it LOL.
Edit: just so you know I'd never wear a thong like that because kids are always around. I would protect someone else kids from the same things I do mine.

We had underboob all over the place, not naked boobies. The only issue I take with that picture is it was completely see through... his johnson was right in my freakin face (thank god it was only on the internet!)
If that thread was full of nude chicks, I would be equally upset because I also have a young son. If the half naked guy was in underwear or anything that wasn't see through, I wouldn't say a word.
Europe society don't find nudity an issue...

I try to do my best while also letting them grow up without being overly strict.
I will concede the point tho, if people feel as strongly about the CM wall as they do about full nudity, then none of it should be allowed. I'm not willing to say it's ok for nude pictures to be posted here... so if that comes at the cost of pictures like the Cm wall... then so be it.
I understand there will come a day that I have to deal with the "adult" issues with my kids, but, that day sure as hell won't come because I was browsing XDA =p
No it isn't. You can't give a single reason seeing partial boob is different than setting a penis in a see-through thong. Not one. In fact, you still haven't explained why setting a boob is different than seeing an arm. Reasons or there is no difference. This is the US, as was pointed out above, which means that people of all different nationalities and religions live here. There are plenty of religions which would frown heavily on the half-naked images, just as much as actual nudity...so, why is it ok to have images that aren't morally unacceptable in their households, but not images that are verboten in yours?
Edit: your last post happened while I was typing. Truce accepted. We weren't likely to agree, anyway ;-p, and the house was starting to stink.

I will say that if this was only the US (it isn't) then we have some ground to stand on. Just because people from different nationalities come here doesn't mean we change what is socially acceptable for them.
I wouldn't move to North Korea and demand they change their ways to that of the US simply because I moved there.
BUt like I said, I concede the point and don't wish to argue. If it's all or nothing, then I choose nothing... at least when browsing XDA anyway.

Iphone - older, more affluent
Android - younger, less affluent
Looking ahead, iphone = doomed to a ~10% niche market, just like the Mac

It states that android users are 50% more likely to use Yahoo mail.

well that's obviously because AT&T has crap coverage in rural areas. Same can be said about iPhone more likely to live in the city. Verizon is better at least, but around here if you live in the sticks you are best going with US Cellular who obviously doesn't carry the iPhone, but they have a few Android devices.

Well, if 2 out of 1000 iPhoners have Yahoo mail and 3 out of 1000 Androiders, then that would be "50% more likely," even though essentially nobody on either side actually has it.
It's probably true, I would bet, because most of the iPhone people I know don't even realize that AOL isn't the only email provider on the internet.

Actually, it says that iphone users are "more likely to say they lead," which I tend to believe. Studies have shown that "popular kids" and those who think they are trend-setters tend to be the biggest followers (copying what they see on TV, movies, ads, etc.). iPhone users believe they are leaders and trend-setters because they're doing what they see other popular people do, but clearly there's a difference between saying you're a leader and actually being one.

Yeah, I was going to come here and say that might also mean android users are just more likely to have multiple email addresses.
Edit: And now that I've continued reading, I see that is not case. I'm skeptical. Though we are more likely to be gmail users, so, maybe we don't need the other crap.
I had to come comment on the "122% more likely to want a pretty looking, but worthless, device" that's the iPhone demo to a T
(not that the iPhone is worthless, but they definitely have that attitude.)
That is the dumbest **** I ever read. Apple propaganda. Sad thing is it will actually work on someone.
I suppose the take home message here is that android has come full circle. We here on XDA aren't your average android user anymore. The average android user is someone that went to best buy and figured "if I'm going to pay ____, I may as well get a smartphone."
In other words, this is really a testament to the extent that android has done away with the concept of "dumbphones," more than it is a statement about user differences.
This may as well be iPhone users vs the public.

Well, I don't think "propaganda" is fair. I don't think anyone is trying to pull one over on anyone, or make a point.
It's just important to keep in mind that this is a self selecting survey, with no verification. Perhaps iPhone users exaggerated, or weren't quite honest with themselves, as someone already hinted at. To me a large number of the answers iPhone look like they're trying too hard to look special/deep. "Look at me! My fav ice cream is salted caramel, my fav food is tapas, my fav fruit is the clementine!"
Edit: not to mention a lot of the points are "iPhone users are more likely to spend money, regardless of the return" Well, no kidding. Maybe way more iPhone users use gogoinflight because android users, correctly, IMO, think paying $13 to have internet access for 3 hours is absurd. So, you can take a lot of these data points either way.
whats the problem with clementines?

The fruit-to-effort ratio is too low.
I mean really, if I'm going to go to all that trouble to peel the darn thing, I should get a little more for the effort. iPhone people probably have an app to peel it for them.

I LOL'd at this one. "fruit-to-effort ratio"...that made my day so far, thank you for that.
And FWIW, I had never heard of salted caramel ice cream until recently. And it is fricking delicious. I love caramel anything (within reason of course) so that makes sense.

i take it youve never peeled one then, because the peel comes off of them way easier than an orange, and they have no pith. pound wise, they are cheaper too if you buy in a 10 lb bag.

If you would have read on the right side , $5.00. I think it looks pretty cool & worth supporting. Can you create that & if so how many hours will you have to put in to make sure it works on all platforms ( excluding GD Apple) ? I've noticed you have a tendency to jump to conclusions although I agree with 90% of your posts.
Cheers my friend & have a pint on me,

Edit: I forgot to mention, take a look thru that site if you feel so inclined. I only look thru the tech category as that's where my interests are, I think you'll find it interesting. Nice to know there are still creative minds out there.
$5 per donation, yes. But they claim they need $50k to get the project released, and I call shenanigans on that.
Could I make something similar? Sure. I'm a professional developer by trade, have been for 25 years, and assuming I had the time available, I doubt it'd take me much more than a couple of months to write. A homescreen launcher that though, whilst a complex app, is not going to cost $50k to develop unless your programmers are massively overpaid, or they're way overstaffed; not really something Kickstarter actually meant for.
Look at all the other homescreen apps out there; some very mature and excellent products. Not seen ANY of them trying their luck on Kickstarter before, and with good reason, too.
I wish these guys' success, and I'll happily pay even up to $10-£15 for their app assuming it's as good as it looks on the video, but not until it's on the market. I'm not paying a single cent for vapourware, which is all it is right now.

$50k for a kickstarter? First instinct is yes... it is too high. But look at Instagram.
ONE
BILLION
DOLLARS
For an app. Not a company, an app.
Throw all common sense to the wind now. But at least, $50k will buy the devs a lot of pizza and beer while they toy with this idea.
I hope this comes out, looks so good.
