Box cloud storage is very popular between android users. But Sometimes, the storage space these services provide for free just isn't enough.

However, that won't be the case for some LG smartphone owners. Box.com is giving away 50GB of storage to owners of an Android smartphone made by LG. The offer is valid for users in the U.S. with a handset running Android 2.1 or later on a device with HVGA screen (320 by 480 pixels) or higher.

 

 

If eligible, all that one has to do is to register before December 31, 2012 in case they aren't a Box user already.

In 2010, Symbian OS was leading the Chinese Market then but now, everything has changed. Google's platform now has increased its market share to more than 90% in the world's most populous country, according to the latest report by Analysis International.

 

 

The share is likely even higher, but the analysts don't count knock-off Android devices. Just last year Android's share of the Chinese market was 58.2%, so that is some very, very impressive growth.

Canonical is trying to spread its free Linux-based Open source Operating system Ubuntu on Android Smartphone and tablets. Nowadays, handheld Devices is very powerful, take Galaxy S III and Nexus 7 for Example, they both have a 1-2GB Ram and Quad-core processors, Ubuntu can make use of your device's CPU power to run the latest Ubuntu edition smoothly without the need for a specific mobile version, you can run the same desktop version you're running on your PC but on your device. Check the video a the end of the article to know more.

Ubuntu on Android is a concept Ubuntu is trying to sell to Android phone makers, enterprise-level customers, and peripheral manufacturers. You can see Ubuntu's pitch and explanation of features and specifications on their site. The idea is that a full, slightly modified installation of the Ubuntu desktop is stashed on the storage of a multi-core Android phone. Whenever that phone is set in a dock and connected to a monitor, that Ubuntu installation comes to life and runs. The Android phone becomes just a very small computer, and the owner gets the full desktop experience of keyboard, mouse, and big screen.

 

The snappiness and space depend on each phone, of course, but with most major new Android smartphones arriving with at least dual cores and at least 32 GB of space available to users, Ubuntu is a feasible option. Watch the demonstration video, and you'll see that browsers open fairly quickly, and app switching is fairly fast. This has something to do with the solid-state nature of Android storage,  and the lightweight nature of Ubnutu. There are definitely delays, especially when switching from Android to Ubuntu and back again from dock plugging, but it's early-stage software that can hopefully be optimized.

With over 20 million users, Ubuntu is the world's favourite free operating system and Ubuntu for Android is the first complete solution for office productivity on a phone. It lets Android and Ubuntu share the same Linux kernel, so they can run at the same time Android for the phone experience and Ubuntu when docked. Which means one address book, one set of bookmarks, one place for text messages and one inbox for mail. And thanks to careful integration between the Ubuntu desktop and Android, user's have access to the phone's functions when it's docked including making and receiving calls.
