Friday Finds: iPhone Space Saver, $$ for Old Gadgets & More

The husband is the vacation photographer, but I tend to take a ton of photos with my iPhone of everyday life. This is all good, but I noticed that I was running out of space on my phone and filling up my photostream, too. I was psyched to learn about Loom from a post on PureWow. Loom is a new iOS app that “[makes] it quick and easy for you to access and manage your entire photo and video library on every device, without taking up local storage space.”

With Loom, you get 5GB free cloud storage. You can set up your iPhone/iPad to upload photos to Loom. You can also add photos from your computer or wherever you have them online so that you have them all in one place. You can get up to 5GB additional free for referring your friends to Loom (500MB/friend for up to 10 referrals!)

You can see your photos on your iPhone or the web. They are organized by date, device and album so you can easily find the photos you are looking for.

I like the UI online!

It seems like everyone has some sort of new tech device on their wish list this holiday season. Gazelle recently surveyed 900+ people, ages 18 and over, and asked what devices, if any, are on their wishlists. Of those polled, 39% wanted a tablet, 32% wanted a computer, 15% wanted a smartphone and 14% wish for an eReader. Gazelle said tablets will be “the gift to give” this season – 33% of respondents listed it as their “must buy” item.

Did you know that you can earn money by trading in your old devices to buy “must have” tech gifts? Enter Gazelle. Gazelle is a fast and easy way to get cash for your used electronics like tablets, iPads, MacBooks, iPhones, Android, Samsung Galaxy, etc. More than 600,000 people have used Gazelle to sell over one million devices.

You turn tech devices of years past into cash for granting holiday wishes today!
