HTC E1 headlines company's Chinese online store with custom options (video)

While the Chinese variants of the HTC One won't be formally introduced until April 24th, we've managed to get our hands on its cousin device: the 603e that sports a similar earpiece design as the One, but without the front-facing BoomSound stereo loudspeakers. The retail name of this dual-SIM (WCDMA 900/2100 and GSM 900/1800/1900) device is actually E1, and HTC pitches it as an affordable Android 4.1 (with Sense 4+) phone with a 2.1-megapixel f/2.0 wide front-facing camera -- likely identical to HTC One's, judging by our own comparison -- along with beautification features and the company's much publicized ImageChip technology. But the real selling point of the E1 is its role in HTC's new e-commerce strategy in China: while you can get hold of one at an authorized HTC store, HTC's Chinese "eShop" throws in custom options for the built-in storage (8 or 16GB), main camera (five or eight megapixels, both with only 720p video capture) and one of the six body colors plus patterns. Choosing the top spec combo will also get you a special red body interior.

Attacks kill 10 people in Iraq

BAGHDAD (AP) ? A series of attacks in Iraq on Sunday killed 10 people, including a Sunni candidate running in the upcoming provincial elections.

The attacks against security forces and a provincial election candidate came as the country is preparing for the first vote since the U.S. withdrawal. In the April 20 elections, Iraqis are to choose provincial governing councils.

The most serious attack came at night near the northern city of Mosul, when a booby-trapped body exploded among a group of policemen, who were trying to inspect the body that was left in the street. Police said that five policemen were killed.

Hours earlier, police said that Najam Saeed, a Sunni candidate in the provincial elections, was killed when a roadside bomb hit his convoy near Muqadiyah town, 90 kilometers (55 miles) north of Baghdad. The blast was followed by shooting between gunmen and the candidate's bodyguards.

Two of Saeed's brothers were killed, and the candidate's son and three bodyguards were wounded in the attack.

At least 13 other candidates have been killed in previous attacks ahead of the election.

In the western city of Fallujah, police said a roadside bomb hit a police patrol in the western city of Fallujah, killing two security officers.

Medics in a nearby hospital confirmed the casualties.

All officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to reporters.

Violence has ebbed in Iraq since the peak of Sunni-Shiite fighting that pushed the country to the brink of civil war in 2006 and 2007, but insurgent attacks are still frequent in attempts to undermine the Shiite-led government.
