Moto X pre-orders start at US Cellular, priced from $124.99, comes with free Bluetooth headset

The Moto X finally got official yesterday. And while it's going to be sold directly by three of the so-called ‘big four' carriers (Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint), a smaller carrier is in fact the first one to start taking pre-orders for Motorola's newest smartphone. We're talking about US Cellular, which was also on the list of carriers to get dibs on the Moto X. The handset is now up for pre-order over there for the already announced price of $199.99 with a new two-year contract.

However, there's a twist. If you're a new customer, you'll get a $75 ‘switcher bonus' in the form of a debit card.

Hyundai celebrates selling one-millionth Santa Fe

Hyundai celebrated a milestone yesterday when it sold the one-millionth Santa Fe crossover, which was the Korean automaker's first-and-only SUV when it was introduced in 2000. Hyundai credits the Santa Fe as being a key factor to the company's growth and success in the US, but it didn't describe the one-millionth Santa Fe or say where it was sold. Before Hyundai introduced the crossover, which has been offered in short- and long-wheelbase versions from the start, it was primarily known for making inexpensive economy cars.

Android in July: 4.1 JB now more popular than 2.3 Gingerbread

The Android masses are getting younger – the OS versions we mean. In the month of July, v4.1 Jelly Bean has at long last dethroned Gingerbread as the single most popular Android OS release. In June Jelly Bean beat Gingerbread, but that was only if you added the two JB branches (4.1 and 4.2). Basically what happened in July was Ice Cream Sandwich, Gingerbread and the older versions combined shed about a percentage each, to the benefit of Jelly Bean 4.1 and 4.2. The newest version, Jelly Bean 4.3 has yet to make a mark but it was only announced at the end of July.

Call And SMS Blocking APIs Found In Windows Phone GDR2 Update

While the Windows Phone GDR2 update has made its way onto devices like the Nokia Lumia 925 and the Nokia Lumia 1020, it seems that there are some features in the update that were not found in the phone, although it is possible that they might be carrier-disabled, or they can only be accessed by developers to be used with third-party applications. These features include call and SMS blocking and the APIs for these features were found by developer Walking Cat when he attempted to compared the Windows Phone 8 emulator code to that of the GDR2 emulator code.
