Hasta La Gadget!

This week the T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note has been revealed with a bow on it, showing off its own unique selection of carrier-added apps and the same fabulous S-Pen as the original. This device has been released internationally as well as on AT&T’s 4G LTE network, while this newest release, set for later this summer, will be coming with T-Mobile’s 4G – that being HSPA+, not quite LTE. T-Mobile has announced that this device will be popping up with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich right out of the box in “the coming weeks” with a specific date showing its face much sooner than that.

This device will be coming with a surprise engine: the Qualcomm Snapdragon S3 dual-core processor at 1.5GHz. While we may have expected Samsung to have upgraded to the same Snapdragon S4 that their Galaxy S III lineup is coming fresh with this season, it’s also quite clear that the Galaxy Note is running swift as it needs to with only the pre-S4 under the hood.

T-Mobile’s own lineup of apps includes everything they’d normally drop inside as far as data and content handlers plus gems such as Square, Dropbox, Evernote, and CamScanner. The last app on that list, CamScanner, is an app quick uses your device’s camera to snap photos that are then converted into PDFs. This can be extremely useful with the Galaxy Note’s newfound ability to interact with PDFs in its “Premium Suite” upgrade which we got our hands on just this past week.

Have a peek below at the video of the Premium Suite working on the AT&T version of this device:

And get pumped for the T-Mobile version with such fabulous carrier additions as Wi-fi phone calls for this device coming up quick!

Seems like everyone’s aching to store your files, these days — Dropbox, Sugar Sync, that new startup, Google. Logmein’s gotten into the game as well, launching its Cubby service in beta earlier this year, letting folks share files on their Windows machines, Macs and iOS and Android devices. The company’s looking to entice interested parties by offering up 1GB of storage for users who refer a friend to the service. Also new is unlimited sharing of “Cubbies” and a refreshed iOS app.

Western Digital (WD) has just announced that its WD 2go app now communicates with Dropbox and lets users copy, more, rename and delete files on Dropbox and the Western Digital personal cloud devices. This means that users can easily have a cloud copy of their data, and/or extend the storage which is managed via WD2go.

This is an important step for Western Digital as its software has been traditionally locked to its own devices, but the company recognizes that supporting a leading 3rd party storage system can benefit WD users, and ultimately WD itself. After all, the cloud may provide virtually unlimited storage, but local storage is still king when it comes to how convenient and fast this access is. For example, web uploads often have a relatively low limit in how big each files can be (300MB on Dropbox). When that happens, it is possible to upload a file to the WD box, and share a direct link to it.

WD 2go is a free application that run on iOS and Android, and now we are wondering if other cloud storage systems such as Amazon S3 or Box will be integrated in the future.

We all know that we are in an economic crunch time at the moment, so it makes perfect sense if you are looking for numerous ways to cut down on living expenses in order to make the most of your hard earned money. Having said that, folks who have been a Dropbox user and are rocking to the Dropbox Pro account will definitely end up with a smile on your face once you are done with this story – all Pro accounts have been upgraded, effectively giving you 100GB worth of storage in the cloud at $10 each month or $100 annually, compared to half that amount previously. Needless to say, those on a 100GB plan originally will get to enjoy 200GB.

There is an even higher-tiered 500GB option available, but no word on pricing has been released by Dropbox yet. We do look forward to this evening though as that is most probably when Dropbox will be publishing its latest price points. What are you going to use all the extra space for?

Are you a digital packrat, uploading anything and everything you can possibly think of to your Dropbox Pro account? Happy days are here again, friends: the storage service has upgraded its Pro accounts, doubling its 50GB and 100GB plans for the same cost (the Pro 100 is $10 per month or $100 per year, and the Pro 200 is $20 per month or $200 per year) while adding a higher-tiered 500GB option. We’re still waiting to hear exactly how much the top-end storage option will cost, but Dropbox expects to publish its new pricing plans this evening.
