Apple drops the gun emoji for a friendlier water pistol
The news is awash in the shootings of police officers and unarmed black men, and individuals opening fire in nightclubs and public party events. In an effort to stop promoting gun violence, Apple is replacing its gun emoji with a friendlier-looking water pistol. In place of the old black and silver revolver is a bright green and orange water gun that looks very distinctly like a harmless toy.
HTC Revolver: a flagship 'Honeycomb' phone for AT&T?
Well, this is certainly curious. If the tipster who sent us the image above is to be believed, you're looking at HTC's new flagship smartphone, the Revolver, which is supposedly headed to AT&T in the third quarter of this year. Things get curiouser still when it comes to the phone's supposed specs (shown in the complete image after the break), which clearly list "Android Honeycomb" as the operating system -- the same Honeycomb that's supposedly only for tablets (at least at the moment), which means that this is either a sign of some big changes coming for Android or a clear sign that it's fake (or at least not completely accurate). As for the rest of the specs, they include a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, a 4.3-inch capacitive touchscreen, 16GB of on-board storage, 1GB of memory, and an 8 megapixel camera 'round back that's paired with a 3 megapixel front-facing cam. No indication of a price or exact release date, but the tipster did also mention that a "coming soon" image will be appearing on AT&T's website this spring, so we may possibly get some confirmation sooner rather than later.
