The largest Android phone is here. Meet the Samsung GALAXY Mega 6.3 inch

Posted on April 11, 2013 by

The Mother of all Android phones is here. Samsung has just announced an addition to its GALAXY family of phones – the Mega 6.3 inch Android phone.

Despite the fact that it has the largest screen in any phone yet, it is ultra-thin & portable enough to be put into a pocket. The GALAXY Mega, says Samsung, offers a mix of popular smartphone & Tablet features such as a split screen, multitasking between video & other apps, & more.

“We are aware of a great potential in the bigger screen for extensive viewing multimedia, web browsing, and more,” said JK Shin, CEO and Head of IT & Mobile Business, Samsung Electronics. “We are excited to provide another choice to meet our consumers’ varying lifestyles, all while maintaining the high-quality features of the award-winning Galaxy series.”

The 6.3-inch GALAXY Mega is powered by a 1.7GHz dual-core processor, & houses 1.5GB of RAM. It also runs Android version 4.2 (Jelly Bean), albeit with Samsung’s usual TouchWiz skin slapped on top.

The Phablet will be available as either an 8GB or 16GB variant, plus there will be a microSD slot for up to 64GB of additional memory. The device is also LTE-enabled.

There will be another “smaller” version of the GALAXY Mega with a 5.8-inch screen. Both variants come with an 8-megapixel rear-facing camera, & a 1.9-megapixel camera on the front.

The phone will start selling from May onwards but there’s no word on the pricing yet.

Dropbox for Business

Dropbox for business is born

Posted on April 11, 2013 by

Leading cloud storage provider Dropbox has indulged in a little re-branding exercise. It has re-named its product – Dropbox for Teams – as Dropbox for Business. Which means Dropbox  is now looking at a larger enterprise market & addressing companies with thousands of employees.

Not only that, it has added features that will help it target larger companies, better.

A blog post by Dropbox’s Anand Subramani said a few days ago, it had launched an admin console that gave webmasters greater control over how their organization uses Dropbox. Working on the console further, they have launched a new feature for business users now called Single Sign-on or SSO.

SSO works behind the scenes to let users sign in just once to a central identity provider, like Active Directory, & securely access all their business apps, like Dropbox. With SSO, companies can put their existing trusted identity provider in charge of the authentication process.

For users, SSO means ease — one fewer password to remember & one fewer step to get to your work. Once logged in to your system, there’s no need to sign in to Dropbox separately. For IT admins, SSO means additional security and administrative management.
