There’s almost nothing more frustrating than running out of internal storage on your Android device because of all of the awesome apps out there today.

Take a look at these three apps to see how you can finally open up all of that blocked storage from your apps and save your data to your SD card.

No we’re not playing a trick on you. The top two apps for this process have the identical name just with or without spaces. Hey, we don’t make the rules; we’re just providing the news! This app also allows the transfer of apps back and forth to and from the SD card and to the phone. It also allows you to sort the apps by file size, name and other relevant information as to control them better and delete the ones taking up too much room. This is much more convenient than the running through the laundry list type of app deletion on most operating systems.

Move Apps ;

This app’s highlighted feature is the notification it gives you when you download an app that can be stored. That’s the kicker to this whole side of things. Not every app can be moved from your phone’s storage. That means inevitably some memory has to be taken by some of those stubborn apps which is even a better reason to get one of these transferring apps.

Don’t be held back by your phone’s internal memory anymore! Break free of the confines of app storage and the crazy amount of time and space they use up. Get one of these storage apps to save them to your SD card.

Wireless Charging Reported for the Samsung Galaxy S4

Samsung is always on the forefront of innovation with their “Galaxy S” lineup. Unlike Apple, they usually feature at least one new feature that is at least mildly revolutionary to the model. It has been making the rounds of the news world that the new model of Samsung Galaxy S4 will feature wireless charging. Hopefully, gone will be the days of mountains of noodle like cords swirling around the extension cords jockeying for position. If this phone truly does put this feature where its mouth is it could be the start of a whole new shift in the charging mechanisms for most phones. There’s always tons of risk involved in a change this big, but who could honestly say they’d prefer to be chained down with a wire rather than free to not have to worry about one extra plug, one extra wire, and one less socket for your electronics.

Other rumors are circulating about the actual application of this wireless charging and it seems like it will be done through a resonant magnetic coupling. That is quite a mouthful, but it basically means that the technology is going to be similar to many other Qi enabled devices. Qi is a technology firm that specializes in creating wireless charging products. This will open the floodgates for the technology to become main stream and have cheaper, third party options available all over the place.

With all of the other rumors circulating about this device it is hard to actually determine which are true and which are simply media hype. We here at TechnoBB.com like to only bring the most factual and up to date news. The wireless charging is almost a sure thing and it will come with a wave of other features as well. As soon as we know more about this highly anticipated device we will be sure to say it here first.

Tupsu: The Furry Little Monster Just Wants to Play

Tupsu: The Furry Little Monster is a fun little cross platform app that is an awesome addition to the app store, and Android marketplace. It will keep you busy and on the edge of your seat with its addicting and amazing game play. This is a little review of this fun little app which will be in the palm of your hand and the memory of your device soon.

First of all, being an artist myself, the graphics are amazing. You can tell they’re based from hand drawings and not simple computer generated, mass produced icons like many apps. This is just the first plus of the game and after the great first impressions it only continues to get better.

It is an odd game in theory. The little monster navigates through these floating island levels with his very sticky eyes. Yes, his eyes. He is a monster and as cute as he is hideous, but that’s why he’s so lovable. He can navigate by walking, climbing and pushing objects to manipulate his environment. Not only can he push objects, but he can carry them along the landscape as well which creates another massive dimension of depth to the game play and strategy. With thirty levels of play this game won’t be one of those you pick up and put down in a long line. It will keep you chugging, and sticking along with Tupsu as he goes on his adventures.

It is worth mentioning that this game is free as well. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, there’s nothing better than free. Especially when there’s a cute little three eyed monster involved, free doesn’t get much better. If you’ve ever played World of Goo, or watched a Spiderman cartoon you’ll see where Tupsu probably learned some of the tricks of his trade.

If the game play, graphics and free price weren’t enough to rope you in then the catchy music by purpleplanet.com will surely make you open up that download. It’s a great game with tons of levels and infinite replay value.

It’s a Bird, It’s a Plane, No it’s the Speedtest App for Windows Phone 8

The long awaited Speedtest app for accurately testing the upload, download and ping of your device is finally here. No more are the days where you have to wander around unknowingly receiving less than optimum data streams. The Speedtest app has been around for years online. It is a staple in the technology community for its accuracy and dependability for testing the data connections across multiple platforms and devices.

This mobile venue has a very simple idea behind it, but the service and information it provides still stands as the standard for measuring data on a device. This means that it is finally able to hold Windows Phone 8 up to the other devices being measured.

It’s nice to see a measurement of data ability from a carrier network status and not just the wifi which is already basically the same depending on where it is being accessed from. Getting readings from wireless carriers allows the user to actually clock in their data and see if they are receiving the level they should be or not. Many service providers claim high numbers and don’t deliver and up until now it’s been hard to prove on certain devices.

The interface of the Speedtest app leaves almost nothing to be desired. It is clean, polished and works like a charm. Compared to the iOS version and the version available on the Android marketplace, this one offered by Windows seems much smoother and functionally impressive.

Don’t wait any longer and see what your device is capable of getting in data. The best part about this app is that it’s free! Just a simple download from the Windows Phone app store and you’ll be on your way. Get in on this industry standard measurement tool today.
