Tumblr update for Android declares war on boring profiles
Let’s face it, your Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc. profile is not unique. It has your own personal profile photo and maybe some color choices, but the basic layout is exactly the same as every other user. Tumblr sees this as a problem, and in their upcoming update for Android they are doing something to fix it.
If you use Tumblr on the web you know that everyone’s profile can be completely customized. Think of it like a modern version of MySpace that doesn’t suck. In Tumblr’s mobile apps, however, every profile looks the same. That changes in version 3.6.0.16, which can be downloaded today from the Google Play Store. Users can give their profile custom accent color, background color, font, and cover photo. The simple tools let any user easily create a unique look for their profile.
At 16 minutes per visit, people stay on Tumblr longer than Netflix, Facebook, and Twitter. You can share photos, videos, text posts, and a lot more. If you’ve never check it out now is a great time. Be sure to follow us on Tumblr for all of your Android news, too!

HTC One M8 sneaks out of the house in a pink outfit
We’d heard HTC was planning to launch the HTC One M8 in a variety of new colors, including Blue, Pink and Red, but we haven’t been able to get a look at any of the new models up to this point. That changes today, though, with @evleaks giving us a look at the pink model.
It’s bright. Alarmingly bright. If your goal was to stand out in a crowd and attract the most attention you can, this would be the phone for you. One thing it doesn’t look is ugly, though — I’m not usually one to be drawn in by a pink phone, but the HTC One M8 has a way of looking good no matter what coat of paint you put on it.
It definitely gets us excited for what Blue and Red will look like. We imagine everything else about the alternative color options will be identical to the HTC One M8, including the same 5-inch 1080p display, the UltraPixel with depth information sensor, a Snapdragon 801 processor, 2GB of RAM, BoomSound speakers and more. What we don’t know? Availability, though it shouldn’t be long until we see HTC rolling these out across the land.
