Sugarsync is the one cloud-storage app that I pay for year after year. I was somewhat miffed last month when they released a complete rewrite for iOS that really upped the ante, but nothing for Android! Imagine my pleasure when I found the notice waiting in my inbox this morning for the Android update. The wait was worth it. Rather than having to manage everything from a PC/Mac, you can now make your Android device a full-sync partner, including telling Sugarsync to automatically upload any photos taken to your Sugarsync storage cloud. On top of that, the Sugarsync Personal edition gives you 5 GB of free storage, unlike most competitors that offer no more than 2 GB. [click to continue…]

I am not sure the HTC Droid Incredible 2 is fitting of the word “incredible” considering it is lacking the nations fastest LTE network. The device is available for order on Verizon for $199.99 with a 2 year contract or $439.99 without a contract. Amazon has their page for the Incredible 2 up but currently shows it on back order. Keep in mind if you buy the Incredible via Amazon you get a $25 credit to the Amazon App Store.

Amazon has dropped the price of the Verizon Droid Incredible to 1¢, keep in mind if you buy a Verizon Android Phone Amazon gives you a $25 credit to purchase apps from the Amazon App Store. Anyone who follows tech knows they are making way for the HTC Incredible 2 however a good deal is a good deal. The Incredible has a 3.7 inch 480×800 display, 1 GHz processor, 512 RAM, and 8 GB of flash memory.

This is not am amazon penny deal however it does offer the fastest smartphone on the fastest network for $120 off retail price. If you are considering coming to Verizon or ready for an upgrade get your 4G LTE HTC Thunderbolt on Amazon. Checkout the speed difference with LTE.

Just as we thought Samsung Fascinate users were stuck on Android 2.1, Verizon updates the devices to Froyo (Android 2.2). I would not hold out hopes on Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) any time soon or future versions. The good news is this update is packed with numerous goodies. For those waiting head into Settings | About Phone and check for updates.

HTC just released a recovery image of Android Gingerbread 2.3 for the Nexus One on it’s development site. It is labeled as GRI40 in case you need to find it. This is a very positive step because this is primarily a developer phone. If you have been testing custom ROM images and decide that you want to restore to a default image, previously you had to restore back to Android 2.2 and then upgrade to Android 2.3 after that. This allows you to restore directly to the latest version available.

T-Mobile will have an exclusive on the HTC Sensation 4G. The HTC Sensation has a 4.3-inch (540 x 960) Super LCD screen, dual-core 1.2GHz Snapdragon processor, and Android Gingerbread (2.3) with Sense 3.0. The rear camera is 8 megapixels with 1080p resolution which is another sign of replacing traditional point and shoot camera’s. While the Sensation is a 4G device keep in mind it is HSPA+ and will not have the same speed as Verizon’s LTE.
