Presently, Google offers users unlimited storage for these ‘high-quality’ photos, while the… Source link

According to Google, in the last year, “we’ve seen over 30 percent more people start using Android tablets compared to the prior year.” To make these devices potentially more useful, the company is announcing a new feature today called Entertainment Space that serves as a portal for all the media apps you’ve installed.  In a blog post, product manager for Google Play James Bender wrote… Source link
