Samsung sorts out its apps
Microsoft included
Samsung has carried out its purge of in-house apps on the Galaxy S6 and included some of Microsoft's software. Both the S6 and S6 edge will ship with a "Microsoft Apps" folder that currently includes OneDrive, OneNote and Skype.
It does not seem that Samsung has extended this offer to Office, but who the hell wants office on a mobile phone anyway? More useful is the 115GB of free OneDrive cloud storage for two years. This means you can snap your pictures and store them on the cloud.
All this appears to be the direct result of Microsoft and Samsung calling a truce in their Android royalty dispute.
Both sides win really. Microsoft's services get a lot more exposure now that they are included in phone bundles rather than having to be searched.
