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.

anyways, i've played this for iPad and it is TONS of fun. can't wait! thanks for the info OP!
So I've heard of this game and so figured it must be something special. But I played it for a minute when checking out the new iPhone at an ATT store..and didn't see the big deal. Looked like one of those games found all over the net where you try to slingshot something as far as you can. Does it go more in depth than that?

Yes, it does go into more depth. It's not just a see how far you can sling game.
You have to kill round green pigs with the birds. The pigs are protected by different types of barriers (wood, ice, concrete) that all break and react somewhat differently. There are also different types of birds that have secondary actions that can be triggered mid-air. Some birds split into more birds, some explode, and some go faster.
That's as far as I've gotten...there could be more types of birds/barriers. The first levels are obviously easier, but as you go on - like any good game - it becomes more challenging and you have to adjust your strategy and put at least a little thought into your approach.
I just found you can get:
Just Me and My Mom

There is an official Asus Transformer version of Asphalt 6, if you buy it directly through Gameloft. It's just not 10 cents .
New items are out now!
The sky wallpaper is unusable of the Transformer, makes the tablet completely unusable.
Tegra 2 at it worst maybe????
Thanks, Pielod! I hope you don't mind if I add this to your thread, since it could be date sensitive, also. Rather than start a new thread...hope I'm not intruding(s).
I found a few more .10 apps that I didn't know about from the market place:

Drop7 by Zynga
Season Zen HD
The Sims 3
Snowfall Live Wallpaper

Yeah they are all the apps that are .10 today.
Its the 10 billion downloads promotion: 10 apps for 10 cents (or pence) for 10 days. we're on day 4 or 5 now I *think*. Go here to see the new apps each day:

Ive been downloading 4-5 apps a day since it started; getting a fair few gems for cheap!
Some developers have pulled off some pretty awesome **** with Xperia PLAY's touch-pads.
Gameloft, on the other hand, has been spotty - yet playable.
Splinter Cell Conviction, however, has been the only one I can say was absolutely unplayable. You'd think they would naturally figure something out that's functional since other devs have laid out the groundwork to perfect control schemes, but I ran into an update today that somehow rose the bar on horrible touch-pad usage (which is amazing because Conviction already held the title as the worst).
Now there's no analog movement whatsoever... the entire touchpad workspace is now just simulating the touch-screen, and movement is tied to the d-pad... and with that, all the auxiliary functions that should be on the d-pad are spread out in completely unnatural-feeling places.
I could understand if Gameloft hadn't already churned out some workable touch-pad control schemes, but it's like they un-learned all their accomplishments from MC3, N.O.V.A. 2 and Shadow Vanguard.
Stay classy, Gameloft -_-.
When did you buy Splinter Cell? I would never buy an old gameloft, they are just bad. Espaccially the one wichwhere availeble before the Xperia Play came out.

I got it around when the $0.99 sale was going on. Pretty much stocked up on any Xperia PLAY Optimized GL game I didn't have.
I bought SC: Conviction a long while ago during one of the 99 cent sales and finally got around to it yesterday after beating Rainbow Six. Right when I started it it asked for an update. Holy crap you are correct, the game is straight out unplayable. The right touchpad doesn't work half the time and when it does it randomly fires your gun or "activates" something. You need to reach your thumb over to the left touchpad just to be able to look around, but as for targeting people and getting headshots? Nearly impossible. I think I may just dump it and not bother finishing, its just plain frustrating to play.
The sad part is the production values on it are amazing, the graphics and all. But the controls are beyond horrendous.
Then the strangest part, Rainbow Six was unbelievable. Console game quality production values, amazing graphics, good voice acting, and the controls were dead on perfect better than any other FPS I've played on this phone. How were both of these games developed by the same people (or did Ubisoft make them and Gameloft distributes under license)?
Y'see, this is why I own an Xbox. I played the Gameloft Conviction on my iPod touch about a year ago and hated it. <3 Xbox Conviciton <3

Yeah.. I have a PS3.... plus this game was only a buck, if I had paid $5.99 for it I would be really angry.
Even though you're only paying a dollar for a game I understand your expectations can't be super high, but you expect a game to at least be playable. This one absolutely is not. Its just strange because Rainbow Six is the complete opposite and one of the best games on the phone ever, IMO.
I sent a nasty email to GL just a moment ago regarding Sacred Odyssey force closing and the crappy SC Conviction. I have 3 different GL email addresses and I sent an email to each one. It seems so far this year I have been having nothing but unresolved issues with GL, either its games or there online multiplayer issues. And I stated that in my email. I was unaware of Sacred Odyssey not working on 2.3.3 at all and bought the game only find I cannot play it. I swear I am so close to just telling GL to kiss my a$$ and just get my games from them elsewhere, I mean if they cannot uphold their end of the agreement to supporting a game why should we have to pay. We are expecting to at least have a functional working game(s) and most dont work and have serious issues, some worse then others, so basically we are just throwing $$$$ into GL face for a non working game(s). This in my opinion is stealing from their customers. They take your money, you think you are getting a functioning game and BAM! Screwed. Well screw you GL. I utterly despise you and your complete lack of support, I know why GL doesnt use the android market, because if they did Google would hound their asses to fix their games and by having to use their wapshop they have you by the balls. I know people will reply to this message and say "just dont buy their games" I wont enymore. I am sick and tired of their bullsh!t and their lies. I hope that somewhere GL employees and their bosses see this post and realize they are becoming a complete disaster and a joke. They make pretty games, but you donrt buy a game just to look at it. So I say lets stop buying there games, and I was going to make a thread on their forums but forget it, there has been a thread there for months where people list their issues with Xperia PLAY games and its just being ignored by GL. The only person replying to anyones posts is Nik, and that persons reply is "I have forwarded your message to your support department".... more like trash bin. GL are a bunch of a$$holes. Sorry for the rant, I didnt mean to type this long of a message, I am just so extremely tired and angry with them. And no I dont want cheese with my whine.......

Gameloft's really good at giving you what they already have. And they're actually very prompt about responding considering how most big companies make you fight through 15 minutes of automated hell just to get horrible customer service.
...the problem is that they don't do too well at fixing what's wrong. Eternal Legacy, for example has an issue with the touchpad that makes you go flying in diagonal directions if you use the touch-pad at all... this means that the game was able to be released without ANYONE noticing that the analog won't even let you walk straight... I mean damn, that's a pretty critical issue.
I do appreciate that they gave me Starfront: Collision for free, but I kinda wanted Eternal Legacy to be fixed... this happened over half a year ago without them fixing it BTW.

This is exactly right about them. They are always very friendly and more than happy to give you a free game for your trouble, I got 9mm for free for complaining about Shadow Guardian and how theres a bug that basically makes it impossible to complete the game. Its something that seems really simple to fix too (works fine on the iOS version).
That said, I like Shadow Guardian better, I want to finish it. I and MANY others informed them of this bug months ago, and yet they haven't done anything to fix it, and I'm sure they are still selling the game, broken.
Yet they had time to release a patch to make Splinter Cell worse.....
How do you guys play shadow guardian? I found it really hard to even hit that guy with the Shield as I roll away and then can't aim on him in time. Help?
Also, I bought SC: conviction despite the comments here and it is pretty bad. Sam starts shooting randomly whilst I'm just moving, is this the standard?

The guys with the shield you have to aim for their legs, which is tough, or you gotta just keep moving and get on the side of them. Or use a powerful weapon like a grenade launcher.
As for SC, its because they changed the mapping, it seems that they mapped the whole touch screen to the touchpads. So the right touchpad does that when you look around sometimes. if you use the left one it won't but its way uncomfortable to use that way.
I'll write a complaint then...
are you SUPPOSED to get round the Shields guys in shadow guardian? Because I find that immensely hard if that's the case...

Real late in the game you are jumping from these bars that are between two walls that are closing in on eachother. You need to get to the last part within the time limit or you get crushed. The problem is that its actually impossible to do, you get crushed before the walls are even close enough to crush you. Someone posted a video online of the iOS version and I did it at speed vs the video exactly and it was impossible to pass.
I posted about it here and someone else had the same problem, and then I emailed Gameloft and they agreed it was a known bug and they haven't fixed it yet.
So I can't finish the game at all?
Well... That's an abomination

Correct, and Gameloft has known about it for at least 3 months if not more. But hey they will give you a free game if you complain.
Valve has just released their official steam app yesterday for Android & iOS. Login to be added to the list of "possible beta testers". I just got accepted.

It works great on my Transformer but it's not really optimized for tablets yet, we can only hope. What I'm hoping though, is integration with mobile apps! That would be awesome! Just imagine buying Dungeon Defenders on Steam and being able to play it on your tablet for free (or GTA III, Plants vs Zombies etc).
Anyone got an invite?
Gave away mine to a friend, should've just let him wait on his. People were trading it on the forums and I could've gotten something nice XD
Gave mine to a friend, too. Seems he could care less. App seems kinda slow, but to not miss a super sale because I'm away for a day is AWESOME!!
App is now available for all steam users. It has officially left closed beta.

That would be amazing. Not sure if developers would like the idea. On the other hand, Steam already integrates the PC/Mac versions of many games, so there is precedent.
