Coppertino launches Loop cloud music storage, Google Docs and Slides for iOS get direct image capture

Coppertino on Wednesday launched a new cloud music locker called Loop, while Google updated its Docs and Slides iOS apps to enable inserting freshly-snapped photos.

Coppertino's Loop

Available through Coppertino's Vox players for Mac and iPhone, Loop offers unlimited online music storage, unlike alternatives such as iTunes Match. Another distinguishing factor is support for a wide variety of file formats, including not just MP3 but options like CUE, FLAC, and WAV.

Although files must be uploaded or downloaded via a Mac, both the iOS and OS X apps can be used to listen to collections and organize them. The pair also support offline caching.

Loop access costs $5 per month, or $50 per year. To run Vox users must have at least a Mac with OS X 10.9 and/or an iPhone or iPod touch running iOS 7.1.

Google Docs and Slides

New to the iOS versions of Docs and Slides is the ability to capture new photos using the camera, instead of simply inserting pre-existing images. In Slides, users can even perform some basic editing in the form of cropping and masking.

Slides has also been updated with the ability to insert tables. Both apps are free downloads, and run on any device with iOS 7.0 or later.
