HTC One M8 owners on AT&T can’t redeem 50GB of free Google Drive storage until May
As part of HTC Advantage, the Taiwanese manufacturer’s ‘benefits package’ offered to customers who have recently purchased one of their new handsets, HTC was offering 50GB of free Google Drive storage. A generous amount of cloud storage for sure, but one that currently excludes AT&T customers. Why? Well, we can’t be exactly sure what the problem is. HTC is calling it a “minor technical error,” and hopes to have the promotion up and running by mid-May.
Dear HTC Customers and Enthusiasts,
A minor technical error has temporarily deactivated the Google Drive cloud storage offer for the AT&T HTC One (M8). Please be aware that we are working to fix this error, and the 50GB of Google Drive storage space will be available by Mid-May for this device.
Thank you for your patience, and we hope you are enjoying your new HTC One (M8).
Sincerely,
Ed Kuhner
Vice President Customer Experience
Still unclear is if AT&T One M8 owners who are already using Drive will need to do any additional steps to activate the promo, or if everything will be handled behind the scenes. We’ll keep you posted.
Latest LG trademark suggests the G Watch won’t be their only smartwatch
LG’s first smartwatch will be the Android Wear-donning LG G Watch, but that might not be the only one by the South Koean on tap for an eventual release. A new trademark over at the USPTO tells of an “LG W Watch,” listed under the typical categories of fitness apparatuses and devices that communicate with your smartphone.
The trademark doesn’t deliver any other information, though that’s hardly a surprise with these things. With that, we’re left up to our own imagination to figure out what, exactly, is coming.
The focus on fitness would suggest the device might not be quite as big as the G Watch, and instead will be a Gear Fit-like option for those needing a good workout companion. If not that, then we imagine LG could look to create a more affordable option that doesn’t have as many bells and whistles as their flagship unit might.
All of this talk is still premature, though — at this point we’d be happy to see the LG G Watch rolled into town before the summer months drag on (which rumors say will happen as soon as July).
