First off you can get 100GB of free cloud storage from Microsoft’s One Drive app installed on your S6 as standard.

That will allow you to move some of your data into the cloud – like photos or video – and free up space.

Next we go through your options for finding out what is using up space on your device.

And lastly I will show you how to use an external expansion device to add SD Card, USB Storage and Micro Stick to your Galaxy S6 using an inexpensive USB hub with USB2GO.

What makes this special other than the insane capacity is its 2x USB ports allowing you to charge two devices at the same time.

The weight gain by the extra battery is substantial but it’s hard to deny how useful having all that extra battery power is.

Raspberry Pi 2 Model B Released Quad Core 900mhz SOC

Raspberry Pi 2 Model B released sporting a quad core 900mhz SOC, the Raspberry Pi 2 Model B even manages the same awesome low cost price of £30/$35 so we are looking at a winner.

“The expanded Raspberry Pi 2 GPIO pins, advanced power management and connectivity, make it possible to connect up to four USB devices, including some powered devices such as hard drives. The 40-pin GPIO enables multiple sensors, connectors and expansion boards to be added, with the first 26 pins identical to the Model A and B boards, for full backward compatibility.”

It sure looks like this is going to be the maker board of choice in 2015 offering loads of power and expanded GPIO ports.

The question is what are you going to do with all that extra Raspberry Pi 2 power?

Microsoft will also be supporting the Raspberry Pi 2 with a free edition of Windows 10 to launch later in the year.

It really does feel like the Raspberry Pi 2 will bring the maker hobby to a much wider community of people.

Microsoft eco unfriendly Windows controller?

Microsoft eco unfriendly Windows controller? For some reason Microsoft has repackaged the Xbox One controller into a Windows branded box and is shipping it round the world with a USB cable.

It’s about as eco unfriendly as you can get when you consider you can just buy a USB cable and an Xbox One controller and use them on Windows, no special driver and no need to ship an extra package around the world for Microsoft.

About as eco unfriendly as you can get!

Samsung Galaxy S3 Leather Style Wallet Case Review – Androidizen

Samsung Galaxy S3 Leather Style Wallet Case Review, for those looking for a leather style case with a splash of colour look no further than this wallet case. See Galaxy S3 accessories here: http://goo.gl/hHkhel

Not only can it keep your Galaxy S3 safe and secure but it has a convenient place to store all your business or credit cards right along side your S3.

The faux leather feel is excellent and I always like to get away from the boring black and white or brown cases.

All the ports are well milled on this wallet case so you wont have any problems plugging in headphones or your USB connector. The Volume rocker on the side can be a bit more difficult to hit due to the spine of the case but it’s not a deal breaker.
