I have some great news for users of the popular cloud storage service Dropbox. Earlier today, the Dropbox team announced that they would be doubling the amount of free storage awarded in their referral program. That’s right, from now on, any friend you get to install Dropbox, you’ll both get 500 MB of free space. For those with a free account, you have the ability to invite up to 32 people for a total of 16 GB of extra storage. Those with Pro accounts will now earn 1 GB per referral, for a total of 32 GB of extra space. Now isn’t that just doubletastic!
It appears those rumored Goggle glasses are indeed in the works and Google has released a tantalizing video to give us a look at what a future with Google’s glasses would look like. The video entitled Project Glass: Day One, gives us a sneak peek at how such innovation would change the way we see the world. It’s quite amazing and has me more excited than ever. I’ve haven’t been this giddy about getting my hands on something since the original Nintendo came out (sad, I know). Rather than waste any more of your time, I’ll let you get straight to the video and experience the world through the eyes of Google Glasses.
Samsung’s Galaxy 2 tablets (7.0 and 10.1) were originally scheduled to launch in the UK in March, but seeing as March has come and gone, it appears they have been delayed. A Samsung associate has confirmed the delay and points to Android 4.0 as the culprit. According to the associate, Samsung needed more time to work on the Ice Cream Sandwich version of the Android mobile operating system. The Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 is now scheduled to hit store in the UK sometime this month with a global rollout to follow.
Those who use the music streaming service Spotify’s Android app have noticed that it’s not that good, at least compared to the company’s iOS app. The Android version doesn’t feature support for Ice Cream Sandwich and also crashes frequently on other versions. Luckily, a new report says the app is getting a “major” revamp soon. For an app that has “5 million to 10 million” users, the update is much needed.
Ahead of the Olympics being held in London this summer, the Google Maps team has released an update for its Android app and mobile web page today that will help commuters in the London area. Today, Google Maps has gained service alerts for London’s Underground train system. Users will be provided with real time information on closures and other issues on the track.
