Instagram For Android Adds Tilt Shift (Finally)

Written by Rachid Otsmane-Elhaou. Posted in Android News

Instagram for android just got a pretty cool update allowing you to now add the tilt-shift effect to your photos! If you don’t know what that is, it’s basically the function that gives your photos “depth of field and realistic blur”. The new function won’t be available in all android phones however, with Instagram saying this will only be available for supported devices…

Written by Rachid Otsmane-Elhaou. Posted in Phone Reviews

Samsung make lots of android phones covering almost every bracket of the market, whether you like this strategy or not there’s no denying it works. News recently broke that Samsung has now overtaken Nokia as the biggest seller of mobile phones on the planet.

Samsung has named its android smartphone range as the Galaxy range, which includes the very top high-end phones all the way down to their entry level phones. The Galaxy Fit ‘fits’ into the latter category. Unashamedly a budget phone, the Galaxy Fit looks to improve upon its predecessor the Galaxy Mini. We’ll let you know if this phone is better suited to taking your money than other budget phones (like the HTC Wildfire S).

Titanium Backup For Android Adds Google Drive Sync

Written by Rachid Otsmane-Elhaou. Posted in Android News

Personally I’m a big user of cloud document storage/backup solutions. I make heavy use of Dropbox, and when I heard Google Drive being announced I became very interested. At launch, i tested it out but decided to stick with Dropbox. The reason? All the different 3rd party integration that Dropbox has. I literally cannot live without that type of support.
