It seems that the Windows version 8 Phone will come with several very interesting developments, such as multicore processors and new screen resolutions. But one of the most happy will all those who still doubt if done with a smartphone equipped with this operating system is the possibility of adding additional memory through microSD cards .

This means several things. Not only basic additional space for when thousands of songs and several films that we like to carry with us, they have destroyed the internal memory that brought the terminal. No, this development also means we ran out of pain in the ass of having to use Zune to upload new files (music and photos). In WP8, we can finally use the ever-blessed system drag and drop (drag and drop) to move files from computer to mobile.

Personally, I can give my opinion about the adventures you have to do with an iPhone or a Windows phone to transfer files with its controversial iTunes / Zune. But easy is the system, I doubt that exceed the simplicity of drag + drop that gives me my android Xperia Play. Thus, although perhaps not everyone missed him ... welcome to the memory card Microsoft OS!

In any case, good news for the third should be in the running operating system, which improved how are you still cutting the distance from the current two. Do not forget that this is an OS still very young and that we should give a little more time outside to see if it has been a success or a failure (there can be no middle ground with all the investment being made by Microsoft).

Something that many can be very useful is that Foursquare may check-in automatically when we get somewhere, so that users of this network would forget to do this process each arriving at a registered location service . Although it sounds very simple to carry out, the reality is different and therefore we have not seen this feature implemented in any of its mobile customers.

In an interview with Business Insider, head of Foursquare Alex Reinert said this could become reality sooner than we thought and would be about to overcome the technical and design constraints that exist so far. And is that with the arrival of iOS 5 appear to have changed things and the implementation of the function radar would help in the process by providing the relevant features for geo in the background.

You just have to remember how the implementation of reminders used in iOS 5 we can notify you with an alert when we arrived and we left some default location, so Foursquare could theoretically use the radar function for their own purposes and so finally add the long awaited check-in machine.

Although there is no expected date for the release of an update product of this project, there is no doubt that we'll have more news about a few weeks. For the rest of the customers of Foursquare for other platforms, it is unclear whether they will have the fortune to have this innovative feature, but surely eventually seek ways to implement something similar.

Xiaomi just gave us the news ideal for spending the weekend, one of the ROMs MIUI most popular Android becomes _open Source_, which means that from now on not only depend on the core developers but may be exploited broadly, increasing the compatibility with new versions of devices. Currently there are few who supported the team compared to MIUI supported by CyanogenMod, however, many praise his development by having a more careful interface.

Since the deployment began and as open-source project , not all the necessary files, but hopefully not spend too much time for them to provide all the information. For now you can get the basics on Github to start documenting the code base and applications in general. News like this simply we can leave good impression, it is impossible not to feel that they are good news and ads everywhere.

An example of what is coming is already announced that the new version of Android-based MIUI Ice Cream Sandwich would be in preparation, in fact, some images may be advances from the Facebook page, therefore, with this announcement we can expect the process a little faster and compatibility definitely wider. Further details on the code and everything you need to begin contributing to the development of MIUI is expected in the "near future" for now we just wait.

Vimeo for Windows Phone

Vimeo is a service for some time been known as a rival in any way with YouTube, is that unlike the latter, this application has emerged as the favorite of many amateur users to record videos you want to present their creations, putting on a different level Vimeo YouTube, often with higher quality content and interest.

Recently we saw as the official app launched for Android and this week has done the same with the client Windows Phone , which can interact well with the Metro interface and allows us also to visualize the videos of this network, raise our own recordings with great quality and share with our contacts from other social networks.

Formspring

While this service has not ended by conquer me completely, I can not deny that it has many loyal users of what I consider a virtual chismometro, which has reached its official client for Android.

For those who do not know, Formspring is a kind of social network which has the purpose or ask questions of your contacts and also responding that they do to us, allowing us to even do so anonymously.

The interface is very well made and very easy to use. We can see the latest replies from users you follow, the message inbox, the questions that we have done and finally we have the "Ask" used to ask questions of our contacts.

An application that is useful but not if it can be interesting and fun for many, if you have not tried loading can give you up to addict to know a little more of the people around you.

Switchme

This application for Android and I loved is that few of us have had to share our smartphone with another person with the risk that this entails (more if you have private information not want anyone else to see), but in the case of tablets, which can usually be used in a company by different people and in our home, where some families have a tablet for all members of this.

With Switchme can create different user accounts on one device Android, the same way as if in a desktop computer, which can have different configurations, applications and data for each of the sessions, password protecting them.

To use this application must be root and have their proper precautions, it is not an application for beginners. You must be careful to create profiles that can exceed the limit of available memory, it is recommended to backup your device before trying this application and for the moment does not work with A2SD or similar applications.

It has a free version where you can create up to two user accounts without a password. Once you have tested the application can pay to have the full version with all its functions.

Lorem

Lorem is a Tweak for IOS that can be found in the Cydia app store, so you will need to have done Jailbreak your device if you want to try it.

This modification to the system will allow us to quickly get rid of messages from the notification center, which normally if you slide to the right will open the application in question making us lose precious time in case of simply wanting to remove the notification of the screen.

With Lorem installed we remove these notices only slide them with your finger to the left, which will disappear instantly, and if so we can set it disappears just as the announcement of the application icon (red circle).

Mesages2PDF

Finally I recommend another application from Cydia for IOS with which we can export our SMS and IMessage to a PDF document, which we can easily read and send e-mail to share with a contact or simply to save a backup of our messages.

This tweak is free and compatible with IOS IOS 4 and 5 and as Lorem must have previously done the Jailbreak process on your device.
