HTC's new social networking models come with a dedicated hard-key for Facebook, enabling users to post information to their Facebook account with just one keystroke

News |

BARCELONA, SPAIN: Taiwanese smartphone maker HTC unveiled on Tuesday two social networking phone models, with a focus on Facebook access, and introduced its first tablet computer to a crowded marketplace.

The world's fifth-largest smartphone maker also introduced new versions of its hit models Desire, Wildfire and Incredible.

All six new devices will run Google's Android software, which ended the 10-year reign of Nokia's Symbian as the pre-eminent smartphone platform last quarter.

"We believe customers want choice; one size does not fit all," said Philip Blair, product director at HTC Europe.

HTC's strong push into smartphones using Google's Android operating system has helped the company to grow market share against bigger rivals like Nokia and Samsung Electronics.

It held 9 per cent of the global smartphone market in the December quarter, according to research firm IDC.

HTC joined the throng of tablet makers with its Flyer model, which comes with a 7-inch screen and a separate stylus.

According to PRTM Management Consultants before the show there were 102 tablets either for sale or in development by 64 manufacturers.

Russia has recently begun enforcing a law which requires Internet sites to block content that is harmful to children or includes other illegal content. Social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter say they have received and complied with requests to block access to certain posts and pages.

Andrew E. Kramer with The New York Times reported, "The Russian government in recent weeks has been making use of a new law that gives it the power to block Internet content that it deems illegal or harmful to children. The countrys communications regulators have required Facebook, Twitter and YouTube to remove material that the officials determined was objectionable, with only YouTube, owned by Google, resisting."

PCMag's Stephanie Mlot added, "The child protection law, which took effect in November, allows a Russian regulatory agency known as Roskomnadzor to blacklist 'illegal' websites pedaling suicide, drug use, 'extremist' propaganda, or other content contrary to the Russian government. The bill was approved in July after it was altered slightly in an effort to appease those opposed. Immediate blacklisting only occurs for sites with images of child abuse or content that promotes drugs or suicide."

Fast Company's Kit Eaton noted, "Facebook, for example, was asked by Russia's regulators to take down a page that they were concerned promoted suicide. The social network had until Sunday to comply, and did so, having decided that the page was not in the interest of general public health. Twitter is also said to have complied with some requests to block local access to some posts."

Daily Tech's Tiffany Kaiser observed, "While the law is aimed to protect children from seeing harmful content on the internet, some fear that the government could abuse it. Right now, there are a lot of Facebook groups that oppose President Vladimir V. Putin, and the government could remove such pages staging protests. Likely, many are hoping Russia doesn't eventually lead to heavy internet censorship like China and Iran. Iran just announced last month that it was beefing up its internet censorship with a proxy crackdown."
