A tweet from the Canadian carrier reveals that the Bell branded version of the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 will be receiving the Android 4.4.2 update "by Monday." Bell didn't mention which Monday they were referring to, but we have a sneaking suspicion that the mobile operator means that the device will be updated by this coming Monday at the latest.

@daryldavis41 Galaxy Note 3 should be updated by Monday. Thanks for the feedback, though. ^RD

Bell subscribers with Samsung Galaxy S4 have just received the Android 4.4.2 update last Thursday. Keep your eyes on your Galaxy Note 3 notification bar for the OTA update.

The All New HTC One will be launched on 25th of this Month. Today, HTC tweeted the image embedded above. As you can see, this presents "A History of Mobile Music" in HTC's vision: from the Transistor Radio of 1954 to Personal Compact Disc Players (1984), generic smartphones (2007), and, finally, to the 2014 HTC One.

In 60 years, we’ve gone from transistor radios to mp3 players to #BoomSound. What was your first? pic.twitter.com/rXBmF5qazx

What should make the All New One a great mobile music player is the BoomSound technology used for its speakers. As you may have heard, HTC already confirmed that the upcoming smartphone would have BoomSound speakers.

Google Search for Android was has just been updated to version 3.3 today with some minor changes, focusing on traffic updates and "Hotword" support.

What's new in Version 3.3:

• Traffic incidents on your route.

• Support for cricket.

• Set reminders for chains.

• "Ok Google" hotword for German and French users.

Google search 3.3 will now toss up a card showing traffic incidents on your planned route. Also, German and French speakers should now find success uttering the "Ok Google" hotword (Screenshot above).

A reprot from JD.com shows that Nokia's first Android smartphone, Nokia X, received more than 1 Million Pre-orders in China which is a pretty good number considering its has been recently announced. However, LiveSide.net points out that these 1 million pre-orders were made on JD.com, a hugely popular Chinese online store that apparently allows registered customers to pre-order a product without committing to purchase it.

Which means users have been lured into hitting the Nokia X pre-order button by a contest that lets one of them win the new Android-based smartphone for free. So it seems that these are more like pre-registrations rather than pre-orders. Of course, since the Nokia X is really cheap, costs around $97 (599 Chinese Yuan).

It seems the date has been just recently cleared out as well March,27th. Or at least that's what the latest teaser picture suggest. There is no info on whether March,27th is the date the carriers will begin taking pre-orders for the April 11 launch, or it is the actual release date for the Malaysian market.
