HTC’s Executive Director, Product Management, Mohammed Versi, called the curtain on the final update for the AT&T HTC One X. The firmware package passed carrier certification at AT&T and is scheduled to roll out to customers January 29. This update brings to the stage Android 4.2.2 and Sense 5.0, but it ends official support for what I personally thought was the device of the year for 2012.

HTC AT&T One X customers – We have received Technical Approval for the MR with Sense 5 + OS 4.2.2. The OTA is targeted for 1/29. Thanks!

Good news is there is still plenty of active development so don’t cry for the “Evita”. It is supported by just about every ROM team out there, even up to Android 4.4. That may be the end of official firmware support, but the HTC One X is going to be around for a while so don’t expect that’s all folks!

Apart for releasing new Kindle tablets, Amazon also introduced FireOS 3.0 (codenamed Mojito) as well. A fork of Android, FireOS 3.0 looks at enhancing the previous UI on Kindle tablets. Based on Android 4.2.2 FireOS 3.0 does not have any of the Google sevices which have obviously been replaced by Amazon’s own services.

The most notable feature of FireOS is “Mayday” button, funny name for a feature, right?

Simply tap the “Mayday” button to be connected for free to an Amazon expert who can co-pilot you through any feature by drawing on your screen, walking you through how to do something yourself, or doing it for you—whatever works best. Mayday is available 24×7, 365 days a year, and it’s free. Throughout the process, you will be able to see your Amazon Tech advisor live on your screen, but they won’t see you. 15 seconds or less is the Mayday response time goal.

Of course security and privacy concerns will be raised on Mayday but is a good feature.
