The OnePlus One’s Camera and Gallery apps have been (unofficially) made available to download for other Android-powered smartphones. They’re based on the stock CyanogenMod 11 apps, which are based on the stock Android 4.4 KitKat apps — but they offer some nifty features that you don’t get direct from Google.
Back in February, Google finally released the Google Cast Software Development Kit (SDK) for its first ever cloud streaming dongle, Chromecast, and now at last, we’re beginning to see some really great third-party applications from developers emerge on the Play Store. The latest and most impressive app to launch is called CloudCaster and, as the name suggests, is focused on streaming media stored in the cloud directly to your Chromecast unit.
Earlier today, Google announced that it was slashing the monthly price for its additional Google Drive storage space. Customers will continue to receive the standard 15GB completely free of charge, but if you find yourself requiring more space, you’ll have peace of mind knowing that you now have to pay that little bit less in order to get it.
Getting free apps and services with a new smartphone isn’t rare; handset makers often use freebies to encourage consumers to adopt their latest product. But Samsung’s $600 “Galaxy Gifts Package” that comes bundled with its new Galaxy S5 is worth talking about.
Samsung has today confirmed that its new Galaxy TabPRO 12.2 will go on sale in the U.S. on Sunday, March 9, priced at $649.99. The device will be available from Amazon, Best Buy, Newegg, and Samsung’s own online store — and it comes bundled with $800 worth of free content, including a $25 Google Play voucher and three months of Hulu Plus.
