Google Plus does the autobackup (uses the same iGuts as PicasaWeb). I LOVE the autobackup. For a one time dump off, you can dump the photos into Google Drive (formerly called Google Docs) and have access to them via the Google Plus "Photos" app (if you chose to enable that option).
Ok, so they are all ultimately going to to Drive? That's what I thought, but wasn't 100% sure.
Kind of,,.

You should look in to IFTTT. I think it works on Android. They have one recipe that will take all your photos and upload to Dropbox automatically I think. It's pretty handy.
Do not upgrade to iOS 7 on the 4. Slow and terrible.
I'll be very interested to see what the battery life is in real life tests. You can't beat Nokia cameras as far as phone cameras go.
Google almost forces you into it. But you can set it up to be pretty private and only share photos you want to on the social network part of it.Google+ also has a cool location feature. It was previously called latitude but now they incorporated it into plus, though I think you can only see location sharing on an android device, and not a desktop browser open to Google +. This comes in handy if you go on vacation with groups of people. Just turn on location sharing and people can see where you are. Worked great when I went skiing. Location history is also pretty cool to see where you go. We all know the NSA is collecting data on us all the time, so might as well take advantage of it. You can select specific people from your circles to see your location. So I always share mine with my wife, and if I want other people to see where I an I will temporarily share, like when I was in Vail last year with other FAM members.: lmao:I kind of hate the social network aspect of Google Plus, but if it will archive my photos in a safe place, that's good for me.

Interesting that you just found that in Chrome as I am having the same experience with Safari. I have used Chrome for a very long time, but I have never taken the time to learn how to put the bookmarks bar on the left side of the pane as in old school Netscape or IE. When Mavericks came out I started using Safari because it is supposed to help with the battery life (doesn't auto-load Flash) and the bookmarks are just like I remember and like them. And when i have Safari open on my iPhone it shows all the tabs open on my Air as well. Pretty cool.
The only difference being that Chrome is device agnostic. I assume you couldn't switch to an android device and download Safari.
Doesn't teh Google search app give you goggles and some others?
I'm pretty sure the kindle app will allow you to do this, but if it's native format is in itunes it could be a problem. I am sure there is an easy conversion, but apple doesn't usually play nice.
Does the amazon cloud have an autobackup? I think this would be more comparable to a dropbox.
Huge fan of Amazon, so if they have an option that works, I'd be all over this. Is it all automated, or do I regularly have to do syncing and crap like that?
I used this feature on an airplane once, but other than that don't really have much of a use for it. The OP said he rides a train to work, so I could see it being a very handy feature for people who ride trains / airplanes often.
Auto backup works fine. Soon as I'm on wi fi photos upload. Also, all of the cd's I bought since like 1992 or something were auto ripped to my account. Stuff I didn't even remember having. I had no problem retrieving songs from iTunes or windows media player. I put the amazon app on my wife's iphone, and she can download all of my songs to her phone for free, or stream them. I think I pay $20-30 a year for photos, songs, videos, even documents if I wanted. All runs through my amazon account.
I must of been living under a rock, but can you briefly explain this to me? I have used Pandora, but never quite experimented with the other music services.
It's the best thing I ever found in terms of music. I pay 10 bucks a month and get unlimited streaming of basically any album I want any time on any of my devices. I never have to rip or download another song, never need to store and transfer music collections from hard drives. I just have it all. You can even download music onto a mobile device, as much as you want, for use as long as you use the service. (So, e.g., when I'm on a subway, or somewhere else without access, I have everything I want). It also has Pandora-like music finder services etc. that have turned me onto some cool stuff.
If you hold down the home screen button, then press "task manager" you can kill of apps that stay running,or just press "RAM" and "clear memory".
