The Independent newspaper has announced plans to collaborate with HTC Blinkfeed allowing consumers to access personalised content through the HTC One smartphone by selecting the content that they are most interested in.
Blinkfeed is a new feature included in HTC Sense 5.0 and will be launched on the new smartphone HTC One which has been delayed until the 30th April 2013. The new feature boasts a live digital content feed which is tailored to the individual. Essentially it will show snippets which can be tapped to view in a larger window.http://www.thedrum.com/news/2013/03/29/independent-announces-htc-blinkfeed-collaboration
