Amazon has debuted a new piece of desktop software dedicated to music. The new Cloud Player is part of Amazon's mission to bring its music service "everywhere" and is extremely focused on the music. Cloud Player already existed as a web app, but lacked some of the features that come with a dedicated desktop app.

For instance, the desktop software is capable of storing music offline, something the web app simply couldn't do. The Cloud Player app is also capable of scanning for stored music that hasn't been added to a user's locker. A Mac version is currently in the works and Amazon advises that Mac users "stay tuned."

The software can be downloaded from Amazon's website.

It would appear that sales of the HTC First have been so bad that AT&T has decided to discontinue selling the device. According to BGR's "trusted source," AT&T has sold fewer than 15,000 devices up to the time the price was cut to $0.99. That is an abysmal sales figure for a smartphone.

According to their source, the HTC First will stop being sold and unsold units will be returned to HTC. HTC declined to comment while AT&T said, "As mentioned previously, we do pricing promotions all the time and have made no decisions on future plans." Whether or not that means the First is canceled isn't clear.

It's not clear when the device will be pulled. HTC has a set amount of display time contracted with AT&T, so it will likely be pulled shortly after that time is up. We'll be sure to let you know if or when it is pulled.

Customers rocking Big Red for their wireless needs will be excited to hear that they have pushed up the Samsung Galaxy S4 launch. Verizon has announced that they will be making the Galaxy S4 available on May 23, a week earlier than the previously announced date.

Still, Verizon is one of the latest to the party. Other carriers have already launched the Galaxy S4. That being said, Verizon customers waiting to get their hands on the new S4 will definitely be happy to get it one week earlier than planned.

The Galaxy S4 is quite the beast, featuring a 5-inch Super AMOLED HD display, quad-core processor, 13MP camera, and Android Jelly Bean.

Good news for all the Kindle Fire owners out there. Amazon has deposited $5 in Amazon Coins in your account. All registered owners have received 500 free coins, each valued at $0.01. These Amazon Coins are a new virtual currency started by Amazon, which was first seen in February.

The money is used much like Microsoft Points or Facebook currency and can be spent on games, apps, and in-app purchases. Amazon is offering bulk-purchase discounts, which will help tempt some people into buying more than they would otherwise. Once you've converted your cash into coins, you're stuck with them.

"We will continue to add more ways to earn and spend Coins on a wider range of content and activities-today is Day One for Coins," Mike George, VP of games and apps at Amazon.

It's worth noting that other virtual currencies haven't been too successful. Facebook is working on ending Credits and many people dislike Microsoft's use of Points. We'll have to wait and see if Amazon's Coins stay around for the long haul.

Images of the Nokia Lumia 925 have leaked out online thanks to our favorite Twitter leaker, @evleaks. The image, while slightly blurry, depicts the upcoming Nokia Lumia 925 that is set to debut tomorrow in London. The image appears to be a stock product shot and gives us some idea of what to expect from the device.

A headphone jack is visible on the top of the device, with volume buttons and either a camera or power button present on the right side. Nokia has already teased that this device should have an excellent camera, but the exact details remain unknown as the backside of the device is not included in the marketing shot.

Rumored specs include a 4.5-inch OLED display, dual-core Snapdragon S4 processor, 1GB of memory, and an 8.7MP camera. Of course, these are just rumored, so take them with a grain of salt. We'll be sure to get you all the relevant details as soon as the device launches tomorrow.

Google has decided to lump all of your free storage into one plan. Instead of having a separate 10GB of data for Gmail and Google+ and 5GB for Drive, users will be presented with 15GB that can be used in any combination. Don't have a lot of e-mail saved? You now have more room for your cloud storage needs.

Conversely, if you don't use Gmail at all, you have just been given an extra 10GB of storage space to use for Google Drive. Google's Drive page now features a visualization of how much space you are using next to available upgrade plans. The changes will roll out to users and Google Apps users over the next few weeks, so don't worry if you don't have the change quite yet.

We want to hear your thoughts on this change. Let us know what you think in the comments!

Developers for Google's Android operating system have been given a new feature to connect with users. Google has added the ability for developers to respond directly to users' reviews on the Google Play Store. This has come as a result of Google Play Store reviews being tied to the Google+ social network.

It allows users and developers to become more connected. It also allows developers to ask for more information, respond to negative reviews, or help troubleshoot an issue. When a developer posts a response, an e-mail is dispatched to the reviewer letting them know that the developer has responded to his or her review.

We believe that this new system will lead to better user engagement and better apps on the Google Play Store.

If you haven't bought your T-Mobile branded iPhone yet, the price has just gone up by $50. T-Mobile has increased the price of the iPhone by $50, causing the new down payment to be $150 rather than the $100 it was at launch. T-Mobile is still requiring customers to make 24 monthly payments of $20.

This effectively raises the price to $630, up from $580. Interestingly enough, the new price offered through T-Mobile is still lower than that of an unlocked iPhone 5 directly from Apple, though not by as much as it used to be. Furthermore, T-Mobile is offering a payment plan, something not offered by Apple.

Sundar Pichai, the new head of Android, has said that Google will focus on "all of the kinds of things we're doing for developers" at Google I/O this year. During an interview with Wired, the head of Android, who is also at the wheel of Chrome, has said that now isn't the time that Google has "much in the way of launches of new products or a new operating system".

Pichai talked about a bunch of subjects, touching on Android updates, Google's relationship with Samsung, Facebook Home and the challenges of managing two operating systems:

• On the relationship between Chrome and Android: "Android and Chrome are both large, open platforms, growing very fast. I think that they will play a strong role, not merely exist. I see this as part of friendly innovation and choice for both users and developers."
• On Facebook Home: "It's exciting that Facebook thought of Android first in this case. Android was intended to be very customizable. And we welcome innovations. As for the specific product, my personal take on it is that time will tell."

Up until now, the Galaxy S4 from Samsung has only been available in "white frost" and "black mist", but it looks like there could be a new option on the horizon. Japanese blog Rbmen have seen the new "blue arctic" option which they spotted in a promotional leaflet from Japanese carrier DoCoMo.

There's no news on whether this arctic blue color will arrive outside of Japan, but we should expect Samsung to soon expand the available colors on the S4. DoCoMo has a presentation reportedly scheduled for May 15, where we should hear more.

The Nexus 4 has been out long enough that we should have new colors by now, and finally, there's a white-colored Nexus 4 spotted in the wild. Google+ user Ervin Sue posted some photos of the white-backed Nexus 4 which he says he purchased from "a local buy and sell site".

The back features a beautiful white Crystal Reflective Process back and white sides, with a nice black trim around the display. There's no news on whether this will reach retail or the Google Play Store, but let's hope we hear more during the week at Google I/O.

As a very long time fan of Arrested Development, the fourth season is nearly here thanks to our friends over at Netflix. The trailer hit the Internet earlier today, and has been enjoying its fair share of bandwidth being pushed over to it.

What do you think? I can't wait to see the gang back together, it makes me want to go back and watch all of the previous seasons. Let us know what you're looking forward to in the fourth season of Arrested Development, will you be tuning in?

Sony are going to expand their Xperia line in the near future with the Xperia ZR, which is set to step in the footsteps of the Xperia Z. While the Xperia Z has a 5-inch screen, the Xperia ZR will arrive slightly shrunken down at 4.6 inches.

We should see the same water-resistant goodness backed up with dust resistance, as well as the same quad-core Snapdragon S4 processor from Qualcomm. Sony have said that the Xperia ZR can be left underwater for up to 30 minutes at a depth of 4 feet. This is where the dedicated camera button comes in handy, where an owner of the Xperia ZR can press the button while their phone is underwater - if this is something they choose to do.

The Sony Xperia ZR will arrive in four colors: black, white, pink and mint. It'll be available later this quarter, with pricing to be announced soon.

Google I/O is just days away and there's reports that Google are to unveil their unified messaging system at the event. Google will reportedly use the name Hangouts, retiring the name Babel we've been hearing about lately.

The use of the name Hangouts is a move Google are using to keep their users within their ecosystem of services. A source of TechRadar that reportedly works at Google, provided screenshots of the new Hangouts in action, which also sees the incorporation of the GChat instant messaging service. The images show off options to archive Hangouts, block users, and revert to a previous version of the chat services.

Facebook Home is making the rounds, unfortunately not to my Nexus 4 yet, but being downloaded more than one million downloads is something to talk about. The problem is, though, that there is a massive amount of negative feedback and reviews on Facebook Home.

Technology Review have reported that the social network are aware of these issues, and their first attempt at creating their own Android overlay has been met with problems, but they've promised to get them fixed in future releases of Facebook Home. Facebook have also said that they are adding "a launcher that makes it easier to see your non-Facebook apps and doesn't reorganize them", "a way to create folders of apps within the launcher" and "a dock at the bottom of the screen that gives you quick access to your most important apps".

It feels like every other day I'm writing a piece on yet another Samsung smartphone, with the week beginning with news of a Galaxy S4 mini. The S4 mini has been snapped on camera in China, and looks like a smaller Galaxy S4, obviously.

The Galaxy S4 mini appears to include the same design as the full-sized S4, with it looking smooth and rounded, with the carbon fiber pattern on the back panel. It is around 8mm thick, which is in the ballpark of the S4's thickness. It is definitely shorter, and narrower than its bigger brother.

We should expect the S4 mini to include a 4.3-inch Super AMOLED display, with the resolution bumped down to 960x540. Internally, there should be a 1.6GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM and a decent rear-facing camera.

The US Office of Naval Research has successfully flown a drone for two entire days using a tank filled with liquid hydrogen. The previous experiment used a hydrogen fuel cell as its power source, flying for a then record time of 26 hours.

The new test used a cryogenic storage tank filled with liquid hydrogen, flying for 48 hours, breaking the previous record by nearly an entire day. We should expect this technology to continue to impress, just give it a few more years.

Come June 17, Google are looking to finish their VP9 video codec. From there, the Mountain View-based company will use their next-generation compression technology in both Chrome and YouTube. Matt Frost, senior business product manager for the WebM Project, said in a blog post:

Last week, we hosted over 100 guests at a summit meeting for VP9, the WebM Project's next-generation open video codec. We were particularly happy to welcome our friends from YouTube, who spoke about their plans to support VP9 once support lands in Chrome.

What is the WebM project? It is Google's project for freeing Web video from royalty constraints, with the WebM technology combining VP8 with the Vorbis audio codec. VP9 transmits video much more efficiently than the VP8 codec, and will be a huge milestone for Google and potential Web-video allies like Mozilla who hope to see royalty-free video compression technology spread across the Internet.

Just how well is Microsoft going with the Windows Phone Store? Well, they've reached over 145,000 apps, which is up from the 120,000 apps that we heard about in October.

But, this number shows that the momentum has slowed down for the Windows Phone Store, considering it doubled in size over the first half of 2012. Are developers leaving the platform? Or are they just simply not as interested in Windows Phone as they are with iOS and Android? There are those that argue that Microsoft are concentrating on quality apps versus just boat loads of apps, with iOS reaching over 800,000 apps now.

I'm not even enjoying 4G yet, and all I keep hearing is talk of a 5G network being deployed within the next decade. Samsung are behind the new talks, with an under-development wireless network to be capable of giving users the speed to stream data faster than ever dreamed before, even from current wired networks.

You might want to sit down to hear this, but Samsung's 5G network will be capable of 10 gigabits per second, giving users download speeds of around 1.25GB/sec. Considering 4G LTE provides around 75 megabits per second, or around 9.375MB/sec, it is a gigantic leap that can't be frowned upon. We're talking about downloading a Blu-ray movie in under one minute over your mobile Internet connection.
