15:58You can take people out of photos or unwanted objects after youve taken them.Let’s hope it works better than the Lumia 920 version.
15:56Everytime you take a photo a 3-second video clip will be shot and all these are stiched together. Pretty cool.
15:50Ah, and now HTC Zoe is mentioned. This is the new camera experience. This captures a video with ever photo you take – allowing you to bring the images to life. Much like the gif feature on the Lumia 920.

15:47The breakthrough camera is being mentioned…
15:43A music player feature called Visualizer lets you see song lyrics to whatever you’re listening to. Ideal for whole-bus-sing-alongs.
15:42HTC BoomSound should make tinny mobile phone sounding speakers a thing of the past with superior sound. Apparently.
15:38HTC Sense TV, in conjunction with the bulit-in IR Blaster, will let you use the One as a universal remote.
15:35HTC BoomSound is the new audio drive comprising Beats Audio, two speakers and an amplifier. And sound recording should be great as it supports HDR thanks to its two mics.
15:33Total content fed from BlinkFeed will be coming from 1400 content partners. Thank God for the included filters.
15:30New homescreen interface called BlinkFeed which lets you, essentially, live stream message, social update, news feed etc.
15:29CEO, Peter Chou, on stage right now.
15:27Yes it’s called HTC One, and yes they’ve gone with a unibody design once again. This looks really attractive.
15:23Alright, now we’re getting bored.
15:13Getting excited now…
15:05And they’re running late. Let’s hope the handset isn’t so slow.
