Duke Nukem 3D Updated, Removes Ads After Complaints

Things change quickly don’t they? We gave you the news yesterday that Duke Nukem 3D was available in the Android Market for 99¢ which by all accounts is a great bargain– with a catch. Those who purchased the game quickly realized the developer curiously included ads in the game menu, despite it being a paid app. Perhaps the developer heard our bellyaching and used that to prompt immediate changes for the game. Owners will no longer see ads running, which is always welcome. Now let’s hope we never see another paid app that includes ads again. If you didn’t grab the game yet, feel free to head on over to Android Market now for the download. » Read the rest

XDA Developer Ben74 has brought us a nice update to the “Unlock With Wifi” app that he originally released several months ago. With this app, one has the ability to disable the lockscreen on their phone by simply being connected to a safe, or “trusted”, network, such as at home or work.

The biggest update from the original version of this app is the Device Admin mode, that allows one to put some security back onto the device, while simultaneously saving more battery life. If you’d like to give it a try, you find find the link to the thread below. Let us know what you think.

Gingerbread Update to be Delayed Until the End of Q3 for the HTC Thunderbolt

In what seems to be another disappointment for HTC Thunderbolt owners, HTC and Verizon have been telling customers that they intend to push the Gingerbread update to as late as the end of Q3. Of course, we all love uncertain dates, and the June 30th date was already missed before, so we hope that Thunderbolt users aren’t shafted once again.

To those of you who can’t wait (I would be right there with you), maybe you could give our how-to rooting guide a try, and install CyanogenMOD7 on your device? Remember, every official update thus far has been buggy and slow – maybe it’s time to take matters into your own hands?
