Remote Access For Your Android

One of the cool things I wanted to do with my ASUS Transformer, when I first got it was see what options were available for remote access to my desktop computer. At first there were not a lot of options but now you can find quite a few with different options, upgrades, and pricing. Soon after I began putting this list together, Android Authority put together there own list. They did a great job on it, so head on over there to get some screen shots on more details.

Taking and Keeping Notes on Your Android

This week’s List of the Week revolves around note taking. Hopefully in school you learned how to take notes. I use notes to help me keep things in order and remember what I need to be doing. Using my Android for taking and keeping notes has been fantastic. Do you use any note taking apps? Let us know. There are quite a few online, but these are the ones that caught my eye.

Access Your Cloud Storage with these Android Apps

Today we begin a new feature at Droid Review Central- the List of the Week.

A question we get many times is “what other options are out there?” This got us thinking. The plan right now is, once a week, put together a list of Android apps that provide a similar service or feature. We will not have tried them all, so this simply is a list (with a link to Google Play) to show you “other options”. We know that we will probably miss some apps, so please let us know what should be included or not included. We hope this be useful and informative.
