Buying apps in android
Ok, so bought the HTC one v yesterday. Getting used to the phone.
Previously used iPod touch for last 4 year's, so I am used to doing things like apple wanted me to.
Anyway. My question is.
With apple I could buy a app and sync it to 2 iPod touch devices.
With the HTC, if we had 2 of these would apps sync to both mobiles . Or would I have to buy the apps twice?

Re: Buying apps in android
Same as apple the apps are linked to your google account, if he second phone is logged on with the account details then you should be able to download the app.
I have multiple phones on my google account ( all mine at one point) don't know how easy it is to change accounts on the phone never tried.

Re: Buying apps in android
If you use the same Gmail account on both Android devices i think you only purchase once, atleast that is what a Google search told me.
When you're logged into https://play.google.com/store and you buy an app or a free app it will pretty much instantly download to your Android device so none of this itunes crap.

Re: Buying apps in android
Never used Dropbox. Can't decide if I need it yet. Will have a proper read and think about it.
Could I put videos in it to stream over wifi?

Re: Buying apps in android
It is the easiest way to get things on and off the phone in my experience assuming you can use home wifi.

2GB free storage but you can easily get it up to around 5GB when you first sign up. I will have to get it up to around 25GB creating fake referrals.

Re: Buying apps in android
One last question.
I have multi player apps on my old iPod.
If I buy the same apps on the android system. Can I multiplay versus the iPod touch. ?

You get 25GB free with the One X, once you have completed 4/5 steps setting up your new account so total storage is 27.5GB (+ any referrals) i assume it is the same for all versions of the One.

Re: Buying apps in android
I have a Android phone and tablet, and only buy apps once, (they have the same login details).
The only exception is that some items on work on one of the devices.
