Hasta La Gadget!

The Google Drive app for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch has finally received a much needed user interface update. It is said in the official blog post that one of the features most users wanted on Google Drive for iOS was the ability to “effortlessly” browse and preview files, just like on the Android app. The update has been made keeping that in mind, it has the same card-style thumbnail layout as its Android counterpart. A number of other upgrades have also been made which improve the user experience of Google Drive app for iOS devices.

With just one tap, users can jump between the new thumbnail view and conventional list view. Instead of being mixed together, files and folders are now grouped more “intuitively.” The update also makes it easier to copy the link for a Drive file, a link is needed if one wants to share a file through email or text. Going to the details pane and tapping on “Get link” will automatically copy the file’s link to the clipboard. Files can also be shared with a friend or moved to one of the Drive folders from the details pane. Last but not the least, search has been brought to the forefront of Google Drive for iOS to make it easier for users to find what they’re looking for. The updated app is live now and available for download via iTunes App Store.

PayPal’s status as the mobile payment method of choice for the masses is beset upon all sides by many would-be usurpers. What’s the company doing to stay on top? Beefing up the feature set of its apps for iOS and Android in a big way today — adding a full-on mobile wallet, automatically-applied deals and discounts and some new ways to order stuff and pay for it.

The wallet feature lets people pay with a PayPal account, a credit or debit card, bank account or a line of Bill Me Later credit that can be applied for within the app. Like Google Wallet, the new PayPal app incorporates deals and discounts that are then automatically applied when you pay. Speaking of which, you can still send money the old-fashioned PayPal way, but the new app also integrates ordering, couponing and paying within PayPal’s merchant network. We got to see the new app in action, so join us after the break for more.%Gallery-slideshow79631%

Philips, more known for its TVs and home appliances isn’t entirely new to the DJ game, but it’s certainly not the first brand that trips off the tongue when talking all things spin. Still, it’s IFA, and Philips is having a product releasing spree, which includes a renewed venture into this space with the M1X-DJ system. Essentially, the M1X-Dj is an iPad and iPhone dock (via lightning connection) with DJ platters and a mini mixer built-in. It’s compatible with Algoriddim’s ubiquitous Djay app, and supports Bluetooth streaming also. The speakers pumps out your mixes at 80 watts, and can run on regular D-size batteries should you want to take the fun outside. There appears to be a shoulder strap, too, perhaps making this the accordion for the iOS generation? We’ll find out in November when it comes out, costing 399 euros.
