Samsung brings Link Platform to Google Play Store

You probably know it by the name AllShare Play but Samsung has rebranded that into Link about a year ago. Now, the company also redesigned the app into Link Platform. The Link app is still on Google Play but this features a new look and will obviously get the newer features.

Link Platform is designed to connect your different Samsung devices (TVs, tablets, computers, etc.) so you can easily share data and files between them. Make sure your Samsung account is signed in on all devices to allow for sharing. The app also supports auto-uploads for folders and cloud storage.

Lamborghini unveils US$6,000 smartphone

While it is small, there is a niche market for extremely expensive smartphones. Look no further than the BlackBerry P'9883 or Vertu's own offerings. Now being thrown into that mix is the Lamborghini 88 Tauri. Priced at US$6,000, you get a leather- and steel-clad device with a 5-inch screen and runs on a quad-core Qualcomm 801 processor. It doesn't fall that far behind with the devices released earlier this year, specs-wise. So, if you have that much money to burn and you want a status symbol of sorts, there will only be 1,947 units of the 88 Tauri. We're sure the rich old guys you know would want one.
