"Smartphone users immerse themselves in a constant stream of updates, news and information, but very little of that stream could be customized or seen on the home screen, until now," said Drew Bamford, Assistant Vice President of User Experience at HTC. "We have re-imagined the mobile experience to reflect users' desires to tailor material to their needs. The new HTC One smartphone's HTC BlinkFeed user interface, including content syndicated from Mobiles Republic, gives people a taste of the future right now."
HTC BlinkFeed is a new user experience that transforms the home screen into a single live stream of personally-relevant information such as social updates, entertainment and lifestyle updates, news and photos. HTC BlinkFeed aggregates fresh content from relevant and interesting sources, allowing consumers to snack on information, without the need to jump between multiple applications and web sites. To enable this new dynamic approach, HTC has worked with Mobiles Republic to offer regional and global news content from an extensive line up of the most innovative media companies in the world.
"We are tremendously proud to have been selected by HTC to provide HTC BlinkFeed news content from our more than 1,500 licensed news partners from around the globe," said Gilles Raymond, Chief Executive Officer, Mobiles Republic. "Our innovative approach for news syndication and the full Mobiles Republic content delivery ecosystem is a good fit with HTC's focus on the user experience enhanced in HTC BlinkFeed."
