Lilbits 6-11-2020: Game Streaming expansion
Google’s Stadia game streaming platform officially works with computers, Chromecast Ultra media streamers, and a limited number of recent Android phones.

Lilbits 5-27-2020: Device shipments dropping
With the global economy in a bit of a shaky state as countries around the world respond to the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s probably no surprise that Gartner is predicting a significant drop in PC, tablet, and mobile phone shipments for 2020.

Lilbits 381: Microsoft Defender ATP for Linux, Android, and iOS
Windows has long dominated the desktop and laptop computer space, but Microsoft has all-but given up on getting Windows onto smartphones.

HTC Desire 19s is an inexpensive triple-camera smartphone
Despite selling much of its smartphone team to Google a few years ago, Taiwanese device maker HTC has continued building phones… particularly weird ones like the HTC Exodus line of blockchain smartphones.

HTC Wildfire X launches in India (isn’t actually made by HTC)
Taiwanese device maker HTC has largely become a shadow of its former self since selling most of its smartphone division to Google (and arguably for several years before that). So at first glance it might be a little surprising to see a new HTC smartphone launching in India this week. But as xda-developers points out, […]
HTC launches two new mid-range phones… is apparently still making phone
HTC may have sold a significant portion of its smartphone business to Google a few years ago, but the company still seems to be producing new phones… and not just niche models like the HTC Exodus line of blockchain phones. The HTC U19e is a smartphone with a 6 inch, 2160 x 1080 pixel OLED display, […]
HTC Exodus 1s coming in Q3, 2019 (A cheaper blockchain phone)
As expected, HTC is doubling down on the idea of blockchain smartphones… but it turns out the company’s next phone isn’t so much a follow-up to last year’s HTC Exodus 1 as it is a cheaper alternative. HTC has announced that the Exodus 1s will be available in the third quarter of 2019 and it’s expected […]
HTC’s second blockchain phone is coming this year
HTC isn’t the major player in the smartphone space it once was, but the company did release one of the more unusual phones of 2018 — the HTC Exodus 1. It’s an Android phone with built-in blockchain hardware and software, allowing you to use it as a cryptocurrency wallet and support for decentralized “web 3.0” […]
