Opera upping the ante, bringing full-fledged Opera Mobile to Android.

Opera Mini is great and all — It’s been downloaded hundreds of millions of times — but let’s face it, it has “Mini” in it’s name. For basic phones, it is far and wide better than the built in browser. But smartphones are a different beast. They have much beefier specs, and as such, can handle quite a bit more 1′s and 0′s. Thankfully Opera feels the same way. The upcoming Android version is claimed to be arriving...

Microsoft’s top selling WP7 app: Farting Dino.

Microsoft’s top selling WP7 app: Farting Dino.

Early on with Windows Phone 7, Microsoft made it clear they were going to take a stance more like Apple has with iOS thus far — that is, they are going to be more tactful in controlling what does and doesn’t enter their precious platform reborn.

Some sad news to start your potentially exciting Friday — the developers behind Angry Birds have announced via Twitter that their upcoming full release for Android has been delayed. It’s a bittersweet revelation actually. According to the update, the devs wanted to add in true Android multi-tasking support as opposed to simply porting over the app and calling it a day. I personally find this a noble decision. Yeah, it will delay the game from reaching...

Android Market prices now show local currency.

In a move that makes legitimate sense, Google has updated the Android Market to show localized prices. Up until now, if you found an app that was developed by someone or some company in another country, say European in nature, you’d be greeted with the Euro symbol.
