Microsoft updates SkyDrive for Android, microSD card file uploads now supported

A bigger and bigger part of our digital lifestyles is being moved to the cloud - that cannot be denied. And with the cloud becoming an integral part of an ever-increasing number of applications and services, you can hardly find a big enterprise nowadays that isn't offering some form of cloud storage service.

Never wanting to be left out of the game, Microsoft is already a prominent player in this space through its SkyDrive service. If you are hearing about SkyDrive for the first time - well, it's basically a cloud storage service, offering you the decent amount of 7 GB for free.

The news is that the Android SkyDrive client has just graduated to version 1.1. Probably the most important new functionality it brings is that it now allows you to upload files directly from you microSD card, without having to move them to the internal storage first. Microsoft has also added some new settings dealing with photo uploads and download size, and on top of that the graphical user interface of the app has also been refreshed.

So, if you happen to be a SkyDrive user with an Android device - why don't you head to the PlayStore and get your update!

ZTE Flash for Sprint is now available, has ICS, 12.6 MP camera and microSD

Well, well, well, what do we have here? A 4.5" HD screen? Not bad... Ice Cream Sandwich? Could be better, but still OK... a 12.6-megapixel camera? Now that's an intriguing feature!

Indeed, the just announced ZTE Flash seems to be a rather well-spec'd device. We mean, not that having so many megapixels could guarantee you a high image quality, but still, it's not everyday that we see a mid-end model sport such a sensor. Not only that, but its 8 GB of internal memory can be radically expanded thanks to the microSD card slot that's also part of the while package. And the processor? No worries there either, as this dual-core CPU should be powerful enough, being clocked at 1.5 GHz. But it doesn't end there! ZTE and Sprint are also throwing 4G LTE into the deal, for the select few who are currently covered by Sprint's immature network.

So, you can now get all of this for... how much did you guess? Five hundred? A thousand?! Even more?!? No, it's just $129.99 with a two-year contract and a $50 mail-in rebate!

More Droid DNA details trickle down from HTC and others: battery life, microSD slot, camera samples

lol Thanks. Yes that is GREAT news indeed. I STILL want to hear this come from "Joooooohn V. here from phonearena.com", since I trust his reviews. He always come off as very honest & it's always refreshing to read, see & hear his reviews.

There are other sites I look at regularly, so WE will know soon enough. I have to admit I was all over the Samsung Galaxy Note II but this HTC Droid DNA DEFINITELY caught be off guard.

Let's HOPE this phone does pan out. I am rooting for HTC! Can't believe I am saying that! lol

+1
