Google Drive to Launch next week with Free 5GB Space

Google Drive, Google’s cloud storage service, has been coming soon since about February, but a new The Next Web leak may indicate that the wait will soon be over. According to the leak, Google will launch Google Drive on Android, iOS, Mac, and PC next week, and the service will come with a free 5GB of storage as previously reported.

Also expected in Google Drive is an in-app Documents editor, leading us to believe that the Google Drive service will be much more of an extension of Google Docs than a standalone service. While this will certainly be handy, it’s difficult to imagine its usefulness, since Google Docs is easily accessible via all of these platforms.

We should be learning more about Google Drive‘s launch in the coming days as we prepare for a launch in the middle of next week. Since Google Drive’s main competition, DropBox and Box.net, offer ways for users to score anywhere from 25-50 free GBs of storage for completing certain tasks, we expect Google will likely offer free additional storage as well. Of course, Google will offer a multitude of pricing tiers for those who need more than the allocated 5GB, a practice which is status quo for the cloud storage industry. We’re assuming the price points will be on par or slightly below the competition.

What do you guys want to see in Google Drive? Are you excited to give Drive a run for its money, or are your cloud storage needs already being met elsewhere?

Google has released its new cloud based service - "Google Play." Google Play allows users to store all their music, movies, ebooks and apps over the cloud, eliminating the hassle of moving files between your

Android "Key Lime Pie" rumored to follow Jelly Bean

Guess what? Google's next Android OS after its Ice Cream Sandwich and Jelly bean dessert will be - "Key Lime Pie". Most recent Android OS was Ice Cream Sandwich first released in October 2011 on Samsung Galaxy Nexus, which will soon be released on other Samsung Galaxy mobiles by 15th March according to gsmarena. Though both have been unofficially announced "Jelly Bean" will be preceding "Key Lime Pie."

In alphabetical order beginning with 'C' and by latest ending with 'K', some of the sweetest desserts on Google's Android OS list are as follows:
Cupcake (1.5), Donut (1.6), Eclair (2.0, 2.1), Froyo (2.2), Gingerbread (2.3), Honeycomb (3.0) and Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0), Jelly Bean, Key Lime Pie.

A “reliable Google source” provided the Key Lime Pie tip to The Verge, albeit the source had no information about when to expect an announcement, release or version number. So what do you expect the next Android OS name to be - laici, marshmallow?

Dolphin Browser - Voice Controlled Android Browser

Most of the android users prefer third party browsers over the default Android browser because of their numerous benefits. One such browser is - Dolphin Browser HD - which is first Voice, Gesture controlled browser for android. Wouldn't it be fun to command your browser what to do, to use gestures to navigate? Besides it has tabbed browsing similar to our favorite desktop browers like - Google Chrome, firefox etc.
There are lots of add-ons like "Web to PDF", "Screen cut", "Battery Saver" etc that can make your browsing experience even better.

In order to use the Gesture or Voice command function, by default there is a small button on the bottom left side of your screen(whose position can be adjusted later from the settings menu). Long-pressing this button will give user the choice to select between "Gesture" or "Voice Contorl". You can even add your own gestures to it. What's intriguing is the ability of Dolphin Browser to accurately understand users command just like Apple's Siri. Dolphin team has also added fsite-specific commands for some famous website - Facebook, eBay etc - so that you can easily jump between options.


Dolphin Brower HD for Android is a free brower app that can be downloaded from the Android Market.
