LG opts to focus on Android devices, leaves Windows Phone in the rearview

This should really come as no surprise to many, but LG apparently

LG enters the cloud storage arena, connecting your Android device to your LG Smart TV

LG clearly
doesn't think we have too much choice in cloud storage, as the company
has launched the imaginatively titled LG Cloud. The stand out feature on
