HP and phones? It's not over, apparently. The company's Senior Director of Consumer PCs and Tablets for Asia-Pacific, Yam Su Yin, has told The Indian Express that HP isn't done with smartphones and is already working on a new device. While its focus (for now) remains on tablets, laptops and its all-in-ones, it's wisely decided not to ignore the ever-increasing influence of smartphones, despite that whole messy Palm saga. When asked about a chances of a future HP smartphone, she said: "The answer is yes but I cannot give a timetable. It would be silly if we say no. HP has to be in the game.""Being late you have to create a different set of proposition[s]. There are still things that can be done. It's not late. When HP has a smartphone, it will give a differentiated experience." We'd put money on an Android device being in the works, given several of HP's recent product launches, but to compete an the increasingly two-horse smartphone race, HP will have to ensure that its "differentiated experience" offers something pretty pervasive to win over customers. when.eng("eng.perm.init")

Connected Data announces Transporter v2.0, focuses on user experience and mobile apps
Connected Data Revolutionizes Private Cloud Storage with Launch of Next Generation Transporter
Transporter v2.0 Greatly Simplifies the User Experience and Adds Key Features Including Global Access from iOS and Android Mobile Devices
SANTA CLARA, CALIF. – May 29, 2013 – Connected Data, a provider of elegantly designed solutions to share, access and protect data, today announced major enhancements to the company's popular Transporter private data sharing and storage device. On the heels of its successful Kickstarter launch, Connected Data unveiled version 2.0 of the Transporter software suite to greatly simplify the user experience, add key functionality, and extend its file sharing and storage benefits to mobile devices. Transporter devices powered by version 2.0 will be available through a national network of partners in June 2013.
With notable data breaches from popular services like Dropbox and Instagram, security and privacy for file sharing and storage is more important than ever. Transporter sets the new standard as a completely private alternative to public cloud offerings. With the Transporter, all data is stored only on authorized devices to ensure privacy, but also provides users with global access and unlimited sharing. Unlike cloud services, the Transporter is a one-time purchase with no monthly charge.
"With the rise of mobile computing, consumers need robust technology solutions that enable them to share and access files on the go," said Dave Reinsel, group vice president at IDC. "Solutions like Connected Data's provide a completely private, peer-to-peer offering, with all data hosted only on authorized devices. Connected Data is on the right path having sold thousands of Transporter units in the first few months of production."
In version 2.0, Connected Data made significant Transporter enhancements for access and transfer of terabytes of files on limited storage devices. Key features include:
- Simplified interface - Version 2.0 provides full drag-and-drop support, right-click functionality and the ability to share links to files with others. Users can install the desktop application, immediately drag-and-drop files to their Transporter, and right-click on any file or folder to manage or share.
- Flexible sync options for limited capacity devices – Most cloud storage providers offer "all or nothing" syncing where everything is either synced across all devices or not accessible. While that works well for a few files, it doesn't work for large media collections on limited capacity laptops and ultrabooks. With Transporter v2.0, users can sync and share critical folders (e.g. work documents) while still having the ability to access and share large folders (e.g. music, photo or movie collections) stored on Transporter from any device regardless of capacity.
- New iOS and Android mobile apps – Transporter v2.0 also introduces new iOS and Android mobile applications allowing users to remotely access, upload, download and share files stored on Transporter directly from their iOS or Android device.
- Remote access and connection enhancements – Transporter v2.0 also includes enhancements to ensure that users will be able to connect to and access their Transporter files regardless of the firewall security that may be in place.
"Connected Data has attracted thousands of new customers since our successful Kickstarter campaign and we consider ourselves very fortunate to have a growing and passionate user base," said Geoff Barrall, CEO of Connected Data. "When setting out to improve upon the Transporter, we listened to feedback from our existing users which helped to set the direction for version 2.0. We're delivering a streamlined Transporter experience that will delight both our new and existing customers."
Transporter can be used as a standalone private cloud or shared with other Transporter devices. This unique ability of Transporter devices to communicate and share with each other regardless of location enables consumers and businesses to easily create a network of shared files with friends, family, co-workers, and colleagues.
Transporter v2.0 will be a free software upgrade for all existing customers. For new customers, Transporter starts at a suggested retail price of $199 without a hard drive, $299 for 1TB and $399 for 2TB. Transporter is currently available from a national network of partners including Abt, Adorama, Amazon, B&H Photo, Buy.com, Datavision, J&R, MacMall, Newegg, PCMall, PCNation and ZONES.

Justin Timberlake Uses Instagram to Announce '20/20 Experience' Part 2
By Brian Anthony Hernandez2013-05-05 21:53:50 UTCSinger Justin Timberlake, who until this year hadn't released new music since 2006, will release part two of his successful 20/20 Experience album on Sept. 30 — just six months after part one debuted.
Timberlake made the unexpected announcement Sunday through photos posted on Instagram on Facebook. The picture on Instagram, which he joined on Grammy Sunday in February, quickly racked up nearly 50,000 views within the first hour it was uploaded.
The visual announcement continues Timberlake's use of social sites to tease or release items related to his music career. It all began in January, when Timberlake posted a cryptic tweet on Twitter. The message teased his musical comeback. He also unleashed interactive art for The 20/20 Experience album on image-tagging startup Stipple's website. And he used Myspace to promote the album's lead single, "Suit & Tie." (Note: Timberlake is an investor in Stipple and has ownership stake in Myspace.)
The blitz helped spark Timberlake's comeback into a commercially success. "Suit & Tie" featuring Jay-Z broke airplay records and globally charted atop iTunes' top-selling singles rankings in its debut week. Meanwhile, The 20/20 Experience ranked number one on the Billboard 200 albums chart in its first week. The album's second single, "Mirrors," (watch below) has performed well. It peaked at number one on the Billboard's UK singles chart and number five on the U.S. chart.
Before part two of The 20/20 Experience arrives, Timberlake will embark on the "Legends of the Summer" tour with Jay-Z in July and August.

Google Glass: The User Experience
By Ryan Lytle2013-05-03 18:40:22 UTCIt would be an understatement to note that there is hype surrounding Google Glass. In a recent op-ed, Mashable's Editor-in-Chief Lance Ulanoff called Google Glass the future of technology, and many businesses are already making moves to get their services on the product.
We've had a pair of Google Glass in the office for the past week, and as more information has been released about the wearable computing device, the more questions and feedback we get from our community.
To help answer some of the many questions we've received, we will be hosting a live Q&A-style Google+ Hangout today at 3 p.m. ET on the Mashable Google+ page. Join Mashable Tech Editor Pete Pachal and Senior Tech Analyst Christina Warren as they discuss their experiences with Google Glass so far and answer questions from our community.
If you have questions or comments, please share them below and we'll try to answer them during the Hangout.
