TF300

A minor OTA update for the ASUS Transformer Pad TF300 that started pushing Friday is now going out in full force. The update brings the software to version 9.4.3.29, and also bumps the Wifi version and Camera version up slightly. The device stays on Android 4.0.3, at least for the time being. The official word is that this brings stability improvements, which nobody here is going to complain about. Per ASUS the update is not available on the TF300 firmware page yet, and most users will have to manually check for the update from the tablet settings. As fate would have it, we're not yet seeing the update here, but if you are be sure to jump into the forums and compare notes.

EVO 4G and One X

In a statement to the Taiwan Stock Exchange yesterday, HTC stated that "Some of our products have passed the review and have been delivered to our telecoms operators’ clients in the US".  Referring to the import ban set in play by the ITC after an unsuccessful legal battle with Apple, the HTC One X and upcoming HTC EVO 4G LTE were barred from entering the country. 

The statement made to the TWSE is certainly vague, and we not sure exactly how to interpret "some". I've shot off an email to HTC for clarification, and I imagine everyone else has as well, so we'll probably see a statement of some sort soon. In the meantime, some of you can rest easy knowing that some of your phones are on the way to the shelves.

1,000 iPads to be Given to Caregivers of Disabled Veterans

Posted by speters on May 20th, 2012

Cult of Mac reports today on a new pilot project organized by the Veterans Affairs Department as part of its Family Caregivers program, which will see 1,000 iPads being distributed to family members of veterans who have been injured or disabled during military service post 9/11. The VA program as a whole was developed to enable disabled veterans to stay at home where they would be looked after by their loved ones. The program helps these caregivers in a variety of different ways, including paying them a monthly stipend, as well as paying for travel to care-related events, health training, counseling services, and respite care. According to Nextgov, the iPad initiative, called Clinic-in-hand, will involve caregivers receiving iPads that have been pre-loaded with various medical apps. Certain custom apps will have the facility to integrate with VA medical systems, and can also be used to send data about the veteran’s health between the department, the veteran, and the caregiver. Participants in the scheme will initially be chosen at random this summer. Cult of Mac notes that a special App Store selling the aforementioned customized apps will also be set up. According to Cult of Mac, this initiative is one of the first large-scale uses of iPads by a human services organization.
