Google Drive has been being talked out about for quite a while now and according to a source that spoke to Giga OM Google Drive is about to become official.
For those of you who do not know Google Drive is going to be a cloud like service used to store files, and media in the cloud kind of like Dropbox, or Box.net. This is pretty exciting as I use all the Google Apps, and I like my phone, tablet and computer to be all connected under one service.
Right now I’m using Dropbox but this could easily make me switch my mind. Sources say Google will only be offering 1GB for free which doesn’t really sound that good, but I’m sure that will increase over time, to at least 2GB to compete with Dropbox.
The best part of Google Drive is going to be the API sharing that will allow developers to integrate the cloud into their applications This is the service Google is missing to tie everything together and I can’t wait for it to be unveiled.

I started out as a Blackberry user and once that phone was stolen I went to Radio Shack looking at the HD2. Blackberry wasn't cutting it and admittedly I didn't know much about technology, or Android at that point so I looked at the phone with the biggest screen. I'm a media guy and I like to have it mobile. At that point the HD2 had a massive screen and that's exactly what I wanted. Immediately when I got there the manager talked me out of getting a windows device and talked me into Android. I didn't know much about CPUs, Android versions, or what a good spec sheet even looked like. I settled with the Samsung Sidekick and immediately began to hate Android. Probably from the ugly skin and the terrible specs that device had. I started looking how to make the device better and found XDA. That's when it all changed. I started learning about rooting, and flashing. From there I would go on to come across Android websites. How I found Land of Droid was through Twitter. I used #android once and John mentioned me asking if I would like to write for an Android blog. I was hesitant at first but I began to immediately love it. I am now a huge technology fan in all aspects not just mobile. Now when looking for a device I will now know that there are more to specs than a screen size.
