Dropbox releases new beta for Android, lets you opt in for

Dropbox has released a new beta version (or Experimental Forum Build as it calls it) of its app for Android, version 2.2.2.8.
The app brings the ability to share multiple photos or add them to albums (which in turn can also be shared), UI improvements and the usual array of bug fixes.
With this build the Dropbox devs have implemented the opt-in option to subscribe for early release it and get them directly to your app, rather than having to side-load the .APK each time you want to try a pre-release version.
You can grab the .APK from here or, if you prefer, here’s a QR code.

Archos 97 Titanium HD gets outed, packs a lot of pixels on the cheap

For those of you who think that the likes of the Apple iPad 4 and the Google Nexus 10 are a tad too pricey, Archos has your back. The company’s latest tablet dubbed 97 Titanium HD is set to offer a 9.7″ IPS display with a resolution of 2048 x 1536 pixels and Android 4.1 Jelly Bean on the cheap.
The rest of the tablet’s specs are far from impressive. They include a dual-core 1.6GHz Cortex A9 CPU and Mali 400 GPU. A gig of RAM, 8GB of built-in memory, and microSD card slot are among the slate’s features. A 5MP snapper on the back and 2MP front-facing unit complete the highlights.
Clearly, the Archos 97 Titanium is not aiming for the current crop of top-shelf tablets on the market. However, with a display so impressive and a likely affordable price tag, the slate shapes up to be an attractive option for those on a budget.
