Much like the update to the PC version that came out last week, the Dropbox Android app now offers free space for uploading your pictures and videos to the cloud.

A new version of the Android market began pushing out earlier this week. Version 3.3.11 brought a welcome new feature. Popular apps that have Google’s support are now listed as editor’s choice apps.
This is sure to help anyone new to the android app market. Familiar names like angry birds and foursquare show up on the list.

A new feature on Honeycomb tablets like the Motorola Xoom, is the ability to sync your music files to Google’s servers.
