Samsung-Galaxy-Tab

The Samsung Galaxy Tab has nailed down three deals to carry media content. They include WHSmith for books, the Financial Times for news and Gameloft for gaming.

The Financial Times is also developing an HTML5 app specifically to run on Android OS, while WHSmith and Gameloft both have apps optimized to run on the Galaxy Tab. gameloft is also continuing to develop more games to run on the Galaxy in the near future, most likely after the Galaxy tab gets launched November 10th.

This is a great way for Samsung to position itself as an iPad competitor (killer) by doing content deals like this. Lets hope that the deals keep coming! I’m thinking EA Games, Netflix and Amazon would be awesome additions too…and Google TV of course!

Playstation Phone

The long awaited Sony Playstation Phone finally shows its face, and guess what…it’s running Android, not Symbian!

The Playstation Phone is still in its early development stages, but we can clearly see Sony is looking to merge the idea of the Playstation PSP Go with smartphones, which many believe is the one thing missing from the PSP family of devices.

  • Android 2.3 (Gingerbread)
  • Custom Sony marketplace to buy games designed for this device
  • 1GHz Qualcomm MSM 8655
  • 512MB of RAM/1GB ROM
  • MircoSD slot – ( not Memory Stick Duo! :D )
  • The screen is between 3.7 and 4.1-inches

If you’ve struggled with an addition to Dance Dance Revolution at some point in your life, Beats for Android may be the fix you need to get you through the day.

If you’re unfamiliar with games like DDR, the object is to follow the arrows as they come down the screen, and tap the ones on the bottom as they line up. You are in a sense taping along to the beat of the song that is playing, and there are a lot of options available for music

Here is a list of sites where you can download additional stepfiles, which are the songs you are taping the beat to.

- StepMania – source of StepMania
- Beatmanistyle – the latest in music game news (registration)
- Otaku’s Dream Mix – for anime lovers
- StepMania Directory – huge collection from all over teh interwebz
- StepMania Download Source – another link farm for stepfile downloads

Continue after the break to watch a video of Beats in action, and for a download link.

Croquet for Android

No need to go digging for that Croquet set buried deep inside your shed or garage. There’s a new game that’s hitting the Android Market called simply Croquet.

Some of the key features in Croquet include multi-player support, accurate court dimensions, 3D graphics to play in, and Realistic gameplay physics. These features combined with a challenging play action, make this a decent game for Android devices, and we imagine even better on an Android Tablet.

Search for “Croquet” in the Android Market to download.

If you’re an iUser user who recently switched to Android, you’ve not doubt noticed the disparity in game selection. One of the funnest games available for the iDevices is Jet Car Stunts. This game is very similar to TrackMania Nations for the PC (which is actually free by the way) You drive at incredibly fast speeds and launch your car over impossibly big gaps, using the rocket booster on you car to give you that extra surge of speed. You can steer your car while in mid-air and you’ll need to as if you go off the track you’re done for. Here’s a video (albeit a year-old video) of it running on an iPhone:

Angry Birds for Android

Update: It’s out. We’ve got a competition. Having problems with Angry Birds lite? Let us know

At first we said it’d be towards the end of August, but we heard yesterday that it’d be Sept 3rd. Just to make sure this wasn’t some rumor, we contacted Rovio and this is the exact reply we received:

Dear Sirs,

Angry Birds Begin Hatching On Android

This week, we were planning to run a closed beta test of Angry Birds Lite for Android. Due to the massive response and demand from the Android community, we have decided to make Angry Birds Lite Beta available for everybody through the Android Market this Friday.

Please note that this will be the beta version of the application which is still undergoing final testing before official release. Angry Birds Lite Beta is presented on an “as is” basis, and we cannot guarantee its functionality on every Android device.

Angry Birds Lite Beta will run on second generation Android devices and upwards.

We have tested the game on a number of Android devices, and we would love to hear your feedback on how the game is performing on your personal device. Should you have any problems running Angry Birds Lite Beta, you can simply click the report a bug button in the main menu of the game to provide us with direct feedback.

We want to ensure that we will publish the best game ever released on Android, and we hope that this beta version will prove to our Android fans that Angry Birds has been worth the wait!

More information on Friday when we have the game available on Android Market.

For instant notification of the beta release sign up to android.angrybirds.com

Kind Regards,

Rovio

So there you have it kiddies, straight from the horses mouth that one of the most popular i*hone games will be “hatching” on Android this Friday and I can’t wait :)
