Picasa Now Has Unlimited Storage For Google+ Users... Sort Of

Posted by Cameron Summerson in News

Users participating in the private beta of Google+ have probably noticed the direct connection between G+ and Picasa for photo and video storage. Considering this, Google revamped the storage plans for Picasa, allowing G+ users to have unlimited storage space. Well, almost unlimited, that is. Up until recently, Picasa Web Albums had a 1GB per-user data cap, but now, G+ users can upload any photo smaller than 2048x2048 or video shorter than 15 minutes without it counting towards to the 1GB cap. Fortunately, if you upload your photos with G+, they are automatically resized, so they won't take up any ...

DROID 3 Gets In-Depth Hands-On: Pentile Display And Puny Amounts Of RAM Included

Posted by David Ruddock in Droid 3, Motorola, News

The DROID 3, like the DROID 2, has been pretty lax about showing itself off prior to any sort of official announcement from Motorola. Today, the DROID 3 has been all but fully revealed by a member over at XDA China. Two things from that post immediately caught our attention: a qHD Pentile display, and 512MB of RAM. Both of them should make you queasy.

We aren't big fans of Moto's Pentile qHD displays, particularly as it appeared on the DROID X2. If your vision is good, and you hold your phone at a normal distance from your face ...

[New App] Postagram Is For Those Moments When Digital Just Won't Do

Posted by Matt Demers in Applications, Apps/Games, News

A large part of what makes the Internet amazing is that it's taken the human factor out of some things that rely on speed. The fact that e-mail has supplanted snail mail is a testament to this fact. Having to wait for a system to process and deliver your messages is just so much better in a digital environment.

But what about for moments where the physical matters? Though digital photography has made leaps and strides to be accessible to all, not everyone likes to have access to photos only on their digital devices. Throw in the cost of buying ...

Now We're Talking - Today's Free Premium Amazon Appstore App Is The Excellent PicSay Pro (Normally $3.99)

Posted by Artem Russakovskii in Applications, Deals, News

After a few days of relatively disappointing free premium apps of the day in the Amazon Appstore, today we have a real treat - the Pro version of a photo editing app PicSay. Before I go on, I must note that this is the only photo editing app I actually bought quite a while ago, after playing around with the free version. It's no wonder - the app has 4.8 stars and over 11,000 ratings in the Market.

PicSay Pro is one of the easiest and most versatile programs for quickly editing, saving, and sharing photos. And did I ...

Download: Excellent LG Revolution Goodies - 13 Wallpapers, 31 Ringtones, And 20 Notification Sounds

Posted by Artem Russakovskii in LG, Mods, News, Revolution

The Netflix app wasn't the only good thing that came out of the LG Revolution system dump posted earlier today by Android Spin - feast your eyes (and your ears) on 13 beautiful wallpapers ripped right out of the Revolution's entrails, together with 31 ringtones and 20 notification sounds.

Having looked and listened to the goodies, I must say - LG did a great job, especially with the last few wallpapers and the 08_Episode.ogg ringtone - for some reason, it's really stuck in my head now and will be making it to my EVO shortly.

To see if the wallpapers ...

Photos And Videos Of Rumored LG Optimus Pad Hit Engadget

Posted by Stephen Tenerowicz in LG, News

Well, well, well, what do we have here? The device Engadget found in LG's CES booth (see the thumbnail above and the video at the source link) could very well be the long-rumored Optimus Pad. The 8.9-inch device, which is said to be powered by a Tegra 2 dual-core processor, is something I have been lusting after for a while now.

While we can't be sure that the device in the thumbnail is the Optimus Pad, it sure looks a lot like the render below. Obviously, at this point, we have no way to confirm the exact specs, so ...
