I've enjoyed Angry Birds on my iPhone and iPad and very few would probably discount the fact that it's probably one of the best games for both platforms.]]> http://android-apps.com/articles/reviews/angry-birds-beta-android-game-review/feed/ 0 http://android-apps.com/articles/reviews/cnet-news-android-app-review/ http://android-apps.com/articles/reviews/cnet-news-android-app-review/#comments Tue, 07 Sep 2010 14:30:06 +0000 Arnold Zafra http://android-apps.com/?p=41137 CNET News for Android is a complete port of the app's version for iOS devices.

This time around it's the free game called Bink. It's a simple short-term memory game involving blocks of different colors. But mind you, the gameplay maybe simple but then after finishing the first level fast, the succeedings levels were no that simple anymore. Or maybe, the effect of the colored blocks have started to affect my vision.]]> http://android-apps.com/articles/reviews/bink-android-game-review/feed/ 0 http://android-apps.com/articles/samsung-galaxy-tab-to-retail-between-200-and-300-in-us/ http://android-apps.com/articles/samsung-galaxy-tab-to-retail-between-200-and-300-in-us/#comments Mon, 06 Sep 2010 14:46:51 +0000 Natesh Sood http://android-apps.com/?p=41391 Even though the Samsung Galaxy Tab has already been made official, Samsung purposely left out a few key pieces of information such as pricing and availability.

Just recently, Gameloft started offering direct purchase/download of its game from the company website. So this means that those apps are unsigned copies and you will have to allow your Android phones to accept apps from unknown sources.
