HTC Offers up to 100GB Extra Google Drive Storage Free for Select Phones
HTC, teaming up with Google to woo new smartphone consumers, has announced that it will be offering up to 25GB additional, or up to 100GB additional free Google Drive space for select HTC smartphones.
The Taiwanese giant on Tuesday announced the news on Twitter and also revealed names of some HTC models included in the offer. The HTC smartphones will be offered the additional cloud storage space for a limited period, which is two years.
Googles support page for Google Drive offer for HTC Android devices lists the new HTC One (M8), HTC Desire 816, HTC Desire 610, and HTC One Max smartphones, which will be receiving up to 100GB additional free Drive storage. In addition to the recently launched high-end smartphones, the page details that up to 25GB additional free Drive storage will be available for select 2013 HTC handsets including HTC One, HTC Butterfly S, HTC One Mini, and HTC Desire 601.
The page further mentions, "When upgrade to HTC Sense 5+ and Sense 6 becomes available on certain 2013 HTC models, +25GB for two years. [..] The offer must be redeemed before January 1, 2016. For most devices, youll have your storage for 2 years, starting on the date you redeem the offer."
Google notes that consumers will be able to redeem one offer one time per device. However, the post notes, "You may redeem one +100GB offer and one +25GB offer on two eligible devices using the same Google account. You may not redeem the offer of the same type on more than one account within a 12 month period."
The support page clearly notes that at the end of the two year period, "All of your files will remain in Drive and you can access, download, or share them whenever you want. You wont be able to add additional files if over quota unless you buy more storage."
Last year, the Taiwanese giant in a similar manner announced free Google Drive storage offering up to 25GB to 50GB free space for select HTC smartphones.
HTC recently launched its most affordable smartphone, the Desire 510 in HTCs Desire line-up to support 4G LTE.
Must Have Apps For Blackberry Phones
Though the Blackberry device doesnt have as much apps in the App World compared to Apple App Store and the Google App store, yet there are some great applications that are worthy to be mentioned.
Its so annoying that if not all then most RIM devices do not give you the opportunity to capture screen or take screen shots.
Many smartphones already have that feature embedded in them except of course if one is to call Blackberry phones a semi smartphone; although that is about to change come January 30th.
In other for Blackberry phones users to take something as trivial as screen shots, an app have to be downloaded to make that happen.
One the most popular screen shot app used by a lot of Blackberry users is the Screen Muncher.
I used it once and I didnt like it at all.
I hate the crunching sound it makes and the watermark it places on the image with reduced image quality.
Consequently, I decided to look more into similar apps that are silent, doesnt include watermark and gets the job done excellently. This makes me discover a lot of must have apps for Blackberry users even in the App World.
Have made a list below for you to know them and give them a try.
1. Screen Shot Capture Pro
This little app 78.6kb in size does exactly what its suppose to do. It captures the screen without any irritating sound or watermark. It just captures your screen and save it a folder called Screenshot. The image quality is high and not reduced at all as you can see from the image below.
2. Contacts To Excel
This application gives away its function just by its name.
It exports all your contacts to excel format and make a back of them for you. this way you can view and transfer your contacts freely even to another Blackberry device or smartphone if so please.This is particularly of use to those that dont have Blackberry Protect to help backup their contacts.
3. Social Lock
This should interest a lot of people. Have you ever wished to lock your BBM without locking your phone altogether in other to reduce access to your bbm messages? Then this app is for you. This little app help you create a lock for all your social applications like Twitter, Facebook and of course Blackberry Messenger.
Once installed, your social apps can be configured with a lock code.
Chat Lock: Lock for BBM does the same thing and also very useful.
4. Pattern Lock For Blackberry
I know some of you peeps would have at one time envied the Android device users due to the way they unlock their phones with pattern unlocking methods.
Well, owners of touch screen Blackberry devices can benefit from this kind of unlocking method.
All you have to do is download this application and you are good to go.
