Sprint's New 4G Phone

Sprint's New 4G Phone We have a first look ate Sprint’s New 4G Phone, YouTube helps you hide your home videos and Diesel lets you crowd stores your next denim purchase over Facebook. It’s Thursday May 13th, I’m Natali Del Conte and it’s time to get loaded. Last night we had a chance to take an early look at the HTC EVO which is Sprint’s upcoming 4G phone running Android. Take a look. We got some details about the EVO that we didn’t we have before. Now we know pricing, now we now released date. It comes out June 4th. It will cost a $199.00. It’s got a couple of things that are cool. It’s going to have YouTube videos in high quality that showed that up on the screen. It looks really nice. It’s got a front facing camera and can do video chat over quick. It runs Android 2.1. That’s Google’s Éclair operating system. They say there are 35,000 apps in the App Store now that will be available for that. You can run it on a 3G network if you don’t leave in a place that has 4G which New York is one of those places. We can’t test it here but 4G will be rolling out with Sprints over the next year. We will of course have a full comprehensive review of the phone here on CNET when we get our hands on it which will be soon I promise you before June 4 so you can make your decision. You can now hide your YouTube videos more easily. YouTube is calling these “unlisted” videos if you mark your video as unlisted then only people who have the exact link will be able to watch it. The video will not appear in YouTube’s public pages and searches us or on your personal page. This is similar to the way Flickr allows you to share private photos. You just need the link which means that the video is not really private since anyone with that link can still see it. Steam from Mac launch done Wednesday, this is like iTunes for games. You download the games directly to your computer and you can play with other players and chat with your friends all the while. New games come out on Steam every Wednesday. A browser just for children called Zoodles launched this week. It’s an Adobe air application that functions like a browser. You tell it your children’s ages and it filters out inappropriate content. In fact it doesn’t even have a URL bar. It just shows kids where they can go to learn and play games. Parents can then manually add websites as they like. It is free but there’s a premium version for $60.00 per year that lets parents view with dashboard report of where there children have been. You can find out more at Zoodles.com. Diesel Stores in Spain are using something called Diesel cam to let shoppers take photos of themselves in dressing rooms and post as photos to their Facebook profile. The goal is to get your friends opinions on the jeans in question. Shoppers used Facebook connect over a touch screen monitor and the photos of course will have a Diesel logo in the corner. I can see this going all kinds of wrong though when photos start getting posted of people who are not all the way dressed in those dressing rooms. Those are your headlines for today but I’d like to tell you about some changes for loaded that are starting next week. We are going to start putting loaded on CNET’s front door and increasing the frequency of the show to twice a day. We only found the show once a day now so that means that sometimes the news will bring you is nearly 24 hours old. That’s ancient in tech news time. So now we’ll stream more news to you, more often starting with two broadcast on Monday and we’re going to be doing this Monday through Friday so that’s 10 times a week. We hope you enjoyed this change. Feel free to write in with your comments and thoughts loaded at CNET.com. For now that rest up your week you’re getting loaded. I will see you on Monday. I’m Natali Del Conte with CNET TV and you’ve just been loaded.
