Memorability: No-print iPad scrapbook

Memorability takes a slightly different route than other digital photo books by being an iPad-only scrapbook, meaning there will be no capability to print your digital creations. This gives busy people a new creative way to enjoy the hundreds of photos you store on your device.

The app comes with pre-designed templates that can be customized with text and even voice recordings. The albums are saved locally on the tablet and will stay on the company’s servers for up to 30 days. You can share the books on Facebook or through email as well. The premium version of the app is free in the iTunes App Store and will remain free after the launch period. However, upgrading to the full version then will cost you $3.99.

New details on SkyDrive for Microsoft Windows 8.1

Microsoft outlined details about the improvements done on SkyDrive for the upcoming Windows 8.1, including placeholder files, offline access, and file picker integration.

Placeholder files gives you access to your files and folders without downloading them, minimizing the use of local disk space and internet bandwidth. You’ll be able to see the basic properties and file contents and the files will only be downloaded when you access them. With offline access, you can mark the files or folders you need to access when you aren’t online. And if you’ve edited a file on a device, SkyDrive will automatically make this accessible for offline use. And file picker lets any Windows Store app save files to SkyDrive easily without added work. You can find out more information about these features here.
