Airdroid 2 Beta Brings New Features

    Those of you that already use Airdroid will be happy to know that Airdroid 2 is now available.  It's still in beta, however, from my own personal experience so far, it works extremely well.  With this new, enhanced version come a variety of great, new features that make it even easier to use.

    For starters, now you can connect to your devices over a mobile network as well.  This is great because now you aren't limited to a wifi network. Just sign in by creating an Airdroid account, if you haven't already, then link your Google account for quicker sign-ins next time.  I can now access my devices from anywhere.

Tip:  You don't have to use a pc.  You can also use your tablet or smartphone as well.

Another new feature the Airdroid team has added is the ability to locate/track your lost devices.  It's simply called "Find Phone" and it's built in to the application. 

Finally, a couple things that I believe current users will love or even convince you to try it out, is the ability to remotely control your device's camera.  Once connected, you can access the camera on your tablet or smartphone to take photos. 

You can now add shortcuts to files and folders as well.

These are just a handful of really useful features Airdroid offers up.  It's extremely reliable, has an intuitive UI, and best of all- it's free.  

I highly recommend this app/utility to any Android user interested in enhancing their experience.  Go check it out;-)

Will You Switch To Google+ ?

Hey guys, so now Google has (sorta) unveiled Google+, their all new social networking site (beast) that may very well be the most competition Facebook has seen in at least 2 years.  My question is do you plan on making the leap over?

It's something of an understatement to say that Google doesn't have what it takes to (eventually) overtake rival Facebook, being as how they've built up a very healthy & productive portfolio of services over the last 10+ years & now seem poised & determined to pull all of these "weapons" together to concoct a super-social networking site.  Only time will tell.  But, till the site actually opens for business (it's still in invitation-only beta stage) to all potential users, let's take a look at one other shell in the barrel that no serious social networking site considering going head-to-head with the Great Facebook should forget: the mobile app.

Can you guess which mobile platform will receive the app first?? Yup... ANDROID:)

Surely you didn't think the iPhone was gonna win yet another app rolled out for it first, did you?  Yes, Android has this app exclusively but I suspect that Google will eventually roll out more apps for the "other" guys very shortly.  They will if they wanna compete, that is.
