HTC plans to offer Zoe app for all Android phones

Looks like HTC will be opening the gates for Android users who want to use their Zoe application. Re/code reports it will make this proprietary software available to Android users with the latest OS version through Google Play. Zoe is an app that lets you take three-second video clips and a series of stills. The app will then stitch this together to create a moving memory of a certain moment, complete with sound. They didn’t say when this will support other devices but it is reported to be making its way to the Play Store this week.

Chat up your Web browser with new Bing update

It won’t be long until you’ll be able to have a conversation with your Web browser with the new Bing update. Microsoft is letting users ask follow up questions with this new feature. For example, you can ask the Bing who is leading the F1 driver’s championship at the moment. And then follow that up with “How old is he?” Bing should be able to pick up on your previous question. Google has something similar to this but at least Bing users will now have the option to hold conversations with their browsers.
