If you have a Live / Hotmail / Outlook email address then you can get seamless sync between the phone and SkyDrive such that photos automatically get sync’d to Skydrive and are then immediately available on your Windows 8 machine or Xbox. Personally I don’t really like Android phones as they have always seemed a bit clunky and unfinished.
So exactly what an Android does with Gmail and dropbox then?
All my Facebook photos appeared on my Note when I synced too – although I’m guessing W8 and ios does that too.
