Google NEXUS tablet 7 by Asus

(credits : google.com)

price starting at $199 for the 8gb version

This is a huge step Google made i guess they saw that there is a huge market for an affordable but capable tablet. I beleive this tablet would be one of the best in its range a full version of Android os and the latest at that and lots of other features not available to the other tablest which are priced the same like the kindle fire that a controlled version of Android. This tablet may not be perfect but the basic things that an average user would need would be here and this tablet may not be as great as an iPad or other android tablet but this tablet has just set the bar higher for the tablets in its range. I only hope that the rumors about this tablet not being available outside the united states are not true and that Google would also launch it here in Asia specifically in the Philippines. 

here are some pros and cons i found based on the tablets specs.

PROS

competitive price

operating system this is the first tablet to have jelly bean 

ips screen

1.3GHz Nvidia Tegra 3 quad-core CPU

CONS

has no rear camera

the chance that it might not be available outiside the US

memory not expandable

This is a long awaited change by the Asian market where Apple is gaining massive popularity. So what you waiting for visit iTunes and start downloading your favorite songs and movies.

Dropbox free storage

Good news for iOS users Dropbox finally got an update and offers users to get free storage just by using the new camera upload function where the pictures can be automatically uploaded to dropbox after you snap them. The pictures that you snap can be deleted after but the space you will receive will stay and you can get up to 3 GB  additional space.  Who doesnt like free storage and Dropbox is one of the best among online storages that ive used.

All you have to do to get your free space is to test the Camera Upload feature here are the steps

• Upload a photo using Camera Upload and you'll instantly get 500MB of extra Dropbox space
• If you've finished importing your photos using the desktop application, you may still have to wait until Dropbox finishes syncing before free space is applied to your account
• Every 500 MB you upload via the Camera Upload feature bumps you up another 500 MB
• You can bump your Dropbox storage up six times for a total of 3 GB of free space. In other words, to reach your limit you have to upload 2.5 GB through the Camera Upload feature

The Dropbox space you earn is permanent. You can use it for the life of your account. Enjoy!

TIP : there are other ways of getting additional space for free through inviting friends to use Dropbox
