HTC One finally boosted to Android 4 2 2 in Europe US users still waiting
Some HTC One owners in Europe have a new version of Android to explore this weekend, after the latest 4.2.2 version of Jelly Bean started to arrive on handsets across the region.
Some users of the 4G iteration of the device began seeing the update late on Friday, which brings the Android Daydream wallpaper, quick settings options and access to lock screen widgets.
However, beyond the standard Android 4.2.2 update, which also includes the ability to access Google Now by swiping up from the home key, HTC has also taken the opportunity to boost HTC Sense.
It brings Instagram to Blinkfeed, adds a battery percentage indicator and gets rid of the unsightly black menu bar that popped up when using some Android apps.
The update is available to download over the air and users can check its availability by navigating to Settings > About > Software updates.
As always with these deals, it may take a little while for the update to reach all users so if you havent had a notification yet, dont fret too much.
Theres also no indication of when One owners in the US may be getting the update, but we cant imagine itll be too long.
The good folks at AndroidCentral have gone hands-on with the update so at least you can see whats in store when the new software lands on your device.

Official Facebook app finally accepts Windows Phone 8 friend request
The official Facebook app for Windows Phone has finally arrived.
The app, titled Facebook 5.0, is available now through Microsofts Windows Phone 8 app marketplace.
Its the first official app from the social network to make it onto Microsofts mobile OS, but the 5.0 indicates that it includes improvements made in previous iterations on other platforms, like iOS and Android.
Only third-party Facebook apps were available on WP8 handsets until now, and the official app looks like the only one without any glaring shortcomings. Go figure.
The Windows Phone 8 Facebook app brings an altered look and functionality exclusive to the OS, fitting well with the tile-based aesthetic of Microsofts mobile UI.
It was available previously in beta, and that beta Facebook app is still available in a separate listing from the official Facebook 5.0.
Word is the Facebook beta app will host new, untested features that may eventually make it into the official WP8 app.
Both apps are available now for Windows Phone 7.5 in addition to Windows Phone 8.
Microsoft used its Build 2013 conference last week to announce that the official Facebook app would arrive shortly alongside a new Flipboard app.
