HTC One

The book I read to research this book is My HTC One by Craig James-Johnston which is a very good book which I read at http://safaribooksonline.com

This book is a how to guide to the HTC One smartphone which uses Android Jelleybean & Sense 5.0 with the latter being a proprietary add on exclusive to this phone. Of course in this day and age with only a sketchy manual that only shows you the basics being included with most smartphones this kind of book is essential to any owner. This book contains lots of pictures and diagrams showing you what to do and is fairly short. The HTC One according to Stuff magazine which specializes in gadgets is the 2nd best smartphone on the market with the best being the LG G2 although because that phone is still quite new not much has been written about it. The HTC One has a feature called divide where your business and personal information is kept separate and if a business wipes their data the personal data is kept. This of course is partly a web service and you need a special provider. Also there is Google music which integrates with Android and the optional download Music Manager which lets you store 20,000 songs on the internet for free. Of course if you stream these to your phone you will incur data charges and you are better off streaming them to a pc then wirelessly to your phone. Most people pay a flat rate for their computer's broadband access. HTC & Google has tried to integrate this smartphone into a way of life on the internet. Android is the most commonly used smartphone operating system with more apps than even the iphone. I enjoyed reading this book and it also has things like the initial set up procedure on your phone which can be reset at any time. Especially if you have one of these phones I would recommend this book.
