HTC partnership with Dropbox brings 5GB of free cloud storage to Android devices

---

HTC has announced on its official Facebook page that thanks to its recent partnership with cloud storage provider Dropbox, the Dropbox app will come preinstalled on all HTC Android phones. HTC phone owners will also benefit from 5GB of free cloud storage, versus the standard 2GB normally given to free account holders.

Dropbox has previously partnered with Sony Ericsson to bring pre-loaded Dropbox apps to Xperia owners, however unlike the HTC deal, no additional storage is offered on SE devices.

So far it's unclear which HTC legacy devices, if any, will be able to take advantage of the 5GB storage deal. We've reached out to HTC for comment, and we'll update you when they get back to us.

Care about bootloaders and Ice Cream Sandwich updates on Motorola devices? Read this

---

Heh. Hot on the heels of Motorola's 6-week Ice Cream Sandwich prediction on Twitter, the manufacturer has dropped a couple of websites to watch if you care about updates or unlocked bootloaders. They are:

• Motorola Android Software Upgrade News page: This is an oldie but a goodie, with handy charts for Moto devices worldwide.
• MOTODEV: Where Motorola keeps its bootloader lock/relock info.

Those pages, and Android Central, natch, are all you need, right?

How Apple?s A5 Chip and iOS 5 Will Change Mobile Gaming

If the last two weeks of mainstream press coverage are to be believed, the only relevant features in Apple’s new iPhone 4S are Siri, the phone’s remarkable digital assistant, and the new 8-megapixel camera, which delivers near point-and-shoot image quality to Apple’s mobile platform.
But there’s one other feature that’s largely been ignored, even though it too was [...]

Sprint Nixes Unlimited 4G Data for Tablets, Hotspots

Effective this November, Sprint customers will have to pay for 3G and 4G data use combined, a departure from the company's previous policy of allowing unlimited 4G data while asking customers to pay only for 3G. Even worse, existing unlimited 4G hotspot data customers won't be grandfathered in.

Why Apple Isn?t Going to Release a 7-inch iPad

---

Fresh rumors are suggesting that Apple could be working on a small form factor tablet to share shelf space with the iPad and iPad 2. Although the release of a small form factor iPad is possible, conventional wisdom strongly suggests that a small form factor iPad is not the "Apple way."

After 400 Million Downloads, Angry Birds Introduces New Bird; Movie Confirmed

---

Well, Rovio doesn't need much of an introduction: It's the company behind the now ubiquitous game that features everybody's favorite affronted and chafed birds. Back in September, a whopping month and a half ago, Rovio?s North American General Manager Andrew Stalbow revealed some brand growth stats at TechCrunch Disrupt in San Francisco, peeling back the curtain a bit. As a testament to how quickly Rovio is growing, thanks to Angry Birds, today at Web 2.0 Stalbow was back on stage, firing off some stats that give us a fresh glimpse into recent growth. At Disrupt, Stalbow said that Angry Birds had pulled in 350 million cumulative downloads across platforms (and was selling 1 million t-shirts and plush toys a month, god help us); and today, Angry Birds is already grown to 400 million cumulative downloads. Not bad for a month of angry squawking.
