2013-05-31
make way for another TV streaming box I'm Bridget Carey and this is just seen that update the company behind the app Manhattan has announced the launch of fan TV it's a small box you hook up to your TV that will streaming video from services like Netflix and Hulu but it will also integrate with your cable TV service and DVR recordings all in one interface it includes this button list touch remote that has users swipe to navigate this isn't available yet but the company showed off some screenshots of the interface which looks very polished and get this fan TV says it can replace the need for a separate cable box and DVR so it would work with cable providers to just be the one box you need to handle everything that sounds like a dream to have everything in one but fan TV has not said which cable providers it is working with so who knows if it'll actually work out or if the cable providers will want to work with fan TV the company says it will launch sometime later this year and there's no pricing announced yet so I guess we'll have to wait and see Twitter made a strange change to its list feature by increasing how many lists you can make on Twitter a list is a way to organize users by different topics such as creating a list just for people who talk about tech before you could create 20 lists each with 500 accounts in them now users can make up to 1,000 lists and each of those lists can have 5,000 accounts I mean more than 20 I guess is nice but who needs a thousand lists ain't nobody got time for that android fans have been eagerly waiting for news about the mysterious Moto X phone and we finally have confirmation that it will arrive sometime between now and October ever since google purchased motorola mobility we've been waiting with that next generation of Motorola phones would look like motorola CEO dennis woodside gave hints about the Moto X during an interview at the all things digital conference he said he had the Moto X in his pocket but he wouldn't take it out to show the audience however he said this phone is able to know what's going on around it and he could fire up the camera just by taking it out of his pocket and that it would act differently when you're in a car driving and he said the phone can pull all this off without joining the battery faster than other phones hmm interesting and for those who don't want to wait until October for a new phone google announced it will sell an unlocked pure android version of the HTC one on jun 26th which means you'll be paying six hundred dollars up front since it's not subsidized by a carrier contract that's your tech news update you can find more details on these stories at cnet com / update from our studios in New York I'm virtue carry
