There’s finally a Mega app for Anroid available which is… well, quite a lot like Dropbox’s, really
Posted in: Today's ChiliThere’s finally a Mega app for Anroid available which is… well, quite a lot like Dropbox’s, really. There are, apparently, iOS and Windows versions on the way, too.

Kim Dotcom launched his Mega cloud storage platform with much fanfare, but few ways to use it. That’s finally improving now that the Mega Android app is here. The release won’t shock anyone who has used established rivals like Dropbox and Google Drive, but it is reasonably complete with two-way transfers, image previews and automatic camera syncing. It won’t be alone for long, either. Mega says that both iOS and Windows apps are in the last stages of testing, which could give us more of an incentive to try what’s still a very young service.

Mega Now An App On Google Play

Godzilla, Frankenstein’s monster and Bigfoot are mythical creatures that don’t exist (although you might dispute the latter). But now, an equally beastly smartphone — one seemingly designed specifically for them — is available to buy. The Samsung Galaxy Mega is a 6.3-inch woolly mammoth of a handset, and it reigns as the largest of its kind, even if only for a brief period of time; the title will soon be taken over by the Sony Xperia ZU once it hits the market. We were curious to see how a phone of its size would hold out during regular use, so our friends at Negri Electronics — an online retailer which currently sells the Mega for $570 or $600 (8GB and 16GB, respectively) — were kind enough to let us take one for a test drive for a few days. Is the phone’s magnitude a benefit or hindrance to the user experience? Is it even worth considering if you don’t need the largest possible screen? Find out as we dissect it after the break.

Better start working on those powerball exercises. If Samsung’s Galaxy Mega was the thing you thought your life was missing, it’s just landed at the FCC. Yeah, we know this isn’t the first time, but this second go-round it’s the LTE-sporting GT-i9205 model. The usual lab tests show little that we didn’t know already — unless you didn’t know it had LTE Band 5, dual band WiFi, NFC or GSM 850 / 1900. As the 5.8-inch isn’t 4G-enabled, this means we’re looking at the bigger 6.3-inch version, but still no word on if, when or how a version might land on US shores. Still no harm in limbering up, though, is there?
Update: Upon further inspection, this variant only uses LTE band 5 (850MHz), which no US carrier currently uses. It’s very unlikely this I9205 variant will hit the US.

Samsung’s Galaxy Mega 6.3 still doesn’t have an exact launch date, but it has made its way to the FCC. While the Mega was announced with LTE and HSPA+ radios, it appears that this version, model I9200, only has the latter onboard (I9205 is the LTE-equipped variant). It’s a safe bet that this particular model won’t officially make it stateside, but the reports seem to indicate that it’ll play nice with AT&T’s HSPA+ bands. In case you’re thinking of importing this 1.7GHz device down the line, you can have a look at our hands-on here. Otherwise, you can have a look at the filing by heading to the source link.

With the recent launch of Mega, Kim Dotcom has been on the upswing lately, at least when he’s not getting stranded by a busted helicopter. Recently, he sat down with the Financial Times to discuss his status as a hero/villain, the future of content delivery, and the $20,000 he claims to have sunk into iTunes downloads. More »
