Microsoft partners with GoDaddy to offer Office 365 plans to small businesses

Microsoft just announced a new deal with GoDaddy to offer three different Office 365 plans geared towards small business owners. The first tier is priced at $3.99 per user each month for 2GB space on SkyDrive and 5GB email storage. The second tier is priced at $8.99 per user each month for 25GB storage on SkyDrive and 50GB email storage. And the third tier is priced at $12.49 per user each month for complete access to Office 365 and its desktop apps for up to five PCs and Macs as well as access to mobile apps for Windows Phone, iOS, and Android.

While the first tier is only $1 cheaper than Microsoft’s plans, the difference of the mid-level and top-level plans of GoDaddy’s plans against Microsoft’s are evident at $12.50 for the second tier and $15 for the third tier per user each month. GoDaddy users in Canada and the US will be the ones who gain first access to the plans, while other countries will be offered the new plans within the next three months. The plans all come with live customer support.

Neptune Pine takes a massive bite out of the smart watch market

The Neptune Pine has foregone the sleek and slim look of smart watches and decided to give you the largest smart watch (or smallest smartphone) it can put on your wrist. According to Digital Trends’ Andy Boxall, it looks like you are balancing “a pack of 20 cigarettes on your wrist, and you won’t be far off.”

However, if you were craving for more power from your smart watch, then the Pine is a serious contender. It gained Kickstarter success because the device operates on full Android OS, has a SIM card slot, packs in 32GB storage, runs Google Play Store, and is equipped with a 5-megapixel shooter and a 2.4-inch touch-screen that you can unclip from the strap.
