Oneplus One gets OpenSSL bug fix , resumes shipping




For many , the OnePlus One was vaporware , and after the recent delay , many  potential buyers gave up on the idea of buying the phone because of the long waiting list and disappointment over its actual existence , but now ,Oneplus has officially stated that they will start delivery of the units for the first batch of sent invites after a software fix from Cyanogenmod was issued yesterday . The recent software update patched up a new OpenSSL bug that was discovered on the 5th of June .The Oneplus one runs on a AOSP(Android Opensource platform) version of Android 4.4 which offer a ton of customizations which are not available on Stock Android devices .,The phone which is powered by a Snapdragon 801 processor competes with rival smartphone brands by offering it at a cut price of $299 for the 16GB version and $349 for the 64GB version , that being said , the phone is extremely difficult to buy mainly because of the invite system which requires you to either beg for a invite from a friend , family or some random person in the forums or wait for Oneplus to mail a invite for you  , the mailing system depends on how well you performed in the Oneplus forums and the date you joined in, Personally I was expecting a to get my hands on one , and was a well known member since April , but gave up on the idea after learning that taxes for getting it shipped to my country might send the basic model to a price of around $400 (the Oneplus One shipping costs in the first launch countries cost $15 , but others outside might have to resort to getting it shipped via a courier service or a relative living in the first  launch countries )

HTC One to sell as TD 101 at China Mobile

HTC decided to invest in such a brand by launching the One series of smartphones last year, although the company was not able to impose its own product names to certain carriers. Then, just a few days ago, the company launched the HTC One, which is going to be the company’s only One-branded handset this year, a make-or-break kind of project for the Taiwanese Android maker that’s still having a tough time fighting against the competition, especially Samsung. We were under the impression that HTC will further invest in its One brand and not budge to carrier demands anymore when it comes to changing the name of the product – in the U.S., AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile are going to sell it as the HTC One. But it looks like things aren’t necessarily so, and no, it’s not Verizon that’s going to get its way selling the One as the Droid DNA Plus, as it was recently rumored. We’re looking at China Mobile this time around, which has announced the HTC One as the HTC TD 101. That’s certa...
