Samsung reportedly shipping Galaxy S6 with Microsoft apps

Microsoft seems to have found a way to infiltrate Android, if reports are to be believed. According to SamMobile, Samsung will reportedly carry Microsoft apps in place of most of their proprietary apps in the Galaxy S6. If there is any truth to this, you can expect to have Office, OneNote, OneDrive, and Skype built into Samsung’s next flagship. We just have to wait a bit until Samsung’s Unpacked event on March 1 to see if there is any credence to this report. But if you want to look for any signs, perhaps the abrupt end of the two companies patent royalty payments might be taken as a clue.

The limit used to be 2GB. Apple hopes the boost will help create a “complete, rich user experience.” However, the one thing that hasn’t changed is cellular download limit is at 100MB per app.

Foursquare now lets non-members use app

Hoping to lure in more users that will eventually create accounts, Foursquare has opened up its app for people without accounts. With the app splitting into two separate apps (Foursquare and Swarm), Foursquare now works more as a personalized recommendation app. Before users had to sign up to gain access to personalized content. Now, users can bypass that and just head straight to the content they need. Of course, you can add your preferences at any time by clicking on the item or category as well as link up to your social media accounts. It’s just a good thing that you don’t have to go through the sign up process at first. The app is available on Android and Windows Phone and it is currently rolling out to devices on iOS.
