Millions of cellphone users worldwide are making the switch to Android. Are you one of them?

The one thing that new Android owners are missing, and have been asking for, is a faster and easier way to setup their new Android phone with their important information and media. In fact, some people have been waiting to make the switch to Android just because there is no reliable, easy way to setup their Android phone with all their important data.

Big news: The wait is over. Mark/Space has released a new Android app called Welcome Home to Android, and just in time for the holidays. Now, people who have recently switched to Android, or are planning to make the switch soon, can transfer and copy data and media files from their old BlackBerry or iPhone to a new Android phone. Welcome Home can also copy information on a Mac or PC to a new Android phone.

Welcome Home to Android is a reliable, comprehensive and powerful app that quickly transfers and sets up info and media, including contacts, calendars, notes, bookmarks, music, playlists, photos, videos and tasks, to an Android phone running Android OS 1.2 and higher. Depending on how much data you plan to copy, you can setup an Android phone in no time.*

The Missing Sync for Android - The award-winning synchronization software, The Missing Sync for Android, will keep your Android phone or device perfectly synchronized with your Mac or PC computer throughout the year. Now you can always have the same up-to-date contacts, calendars, notes, appointments, music, videos and photos on your computer and on your Android device.

Whether transitioning from Blackberry or iPhone, the Welcome Home app gathers media and personal information from an old phone, and from a Mac or PC computer, and moves it to a new Android phone. How-to videos that demonstrate this amazing software are included with the app and are available in five languages: English, French, German, Spanish and Italian.

New Android Device Picks for December - Motorola DROID RAZR, Galaxy Tab 7 and Pantech Pocket

Each month, we highlight new Android devices - from phones to tablets - picking the hottest and most popular new releases to the ever-expanding Android global market. Last month we profiled three new Android devices - the Motorola Atrix 2, Samsung Transfix and the T-Mobile Springboard. This month, we are highlighting the newest Motorola DROID RAZR, the Galaxy Tab 7.0 and the Pantech Pocket.

Motorola DROID RAZR

The newest incarnation of the Motorola DROID RAZR is getting a lot of love from consumers and tech reviewers alike. At only 0.28 inches thick, the RAZR is the thinnest smartphone ever mass manufactured. It is also one of the lightest smartphones ever - weighing in at just under 4.5 ounces. The KEVLAR-strong RAZR features a stunning 4.3-inch Super AMOLED Plus scratch-resistant glass display, a 1.2 GHz dual-core processor, and 1 GB of RAM, running on the 2.3.5 version of the Android OS, aka, "Gingerbread."

The DROID RAZR starts at $299.99

Galaxy Tab 7.0

The new Galaxy Tab 7.0 is the fourth member of the popular Galaxy Tab family. With the success of the more recent Galaxy Tab 8.9, it is no wonder a 7-inch version has caused a stir among gadget geeks. The Galaxy Tab 7.0, selling for approximately $400, packs a dual-core 1.2GHz processor, a tablet-optimized build of the Android 3.2 Honeycomb, plus additional features, like a rear-facing 3 mega-pixel camera (with a LED flash) and a front-facing 2 mega-pixel camera.

Pantech Pocket

The Pantech Pocket was recently released, sporting a multi-tasking Android 2.3 4G experience with a 4-inch SVGA (800 x 600) touchscreen display, a 1GHz CPU, a 5 mega-pixel rear camera with flash and a 4x zoom, plus HD video capture at 720p. The 1650 mAh battery has a 6-hour talk life and a 18-day standby time, plus 2 GB microSD memory (expandable to 32GB) and 600MB internal memory storage at a total weight of only 4.4 ounces. The Pantech Pocket is available via AT&T for only $49.

The Motorola DROID RAZR, Galaxy Tab 7.0 and Pantech Pocket are just some of the dozens of Android phones that are compatible with Mark/Space software products, like The Missing Sync for Android and Welcome Home to Android.
