Angry Birds is Coming to Android

Love your Android phone, but hate that your addiction to the game Angry Birds makes you harbor some resentment for it?? Well, worry no longer!? In just a few weeks Android users will have a full version of the application at their fingertips.? Angry Birds has been on the top of Apple’s paid applications list for a long time, and Android users have had to settle for a lite version that only has 15 levels.? Not for too much longer though!

The wildly popular app is a typical destroy the castle type of game.? The story behind the game is the pigs stole the bird’s eggs, and the birds are attempting to rescue them with your help.? You’re equipped with an angry bird and a sling shot.? There are six varieties of angry birds, each with special abilities, which can be acquired as you progress through the game.? The goal is to perfect your aim to get at the pigs inside the structure and cause the most destruction.? Points and stars are awarded for getting the job done using fewer birds or being overly destructive.? Visit youtube.com for a full trailer of the game.

With Android’s wide range of screen sizes, developers are finding programming difficult. That’s what they are pointing to as the reason for the delay.

Once finished, the app will be very similar to the iPhone version, but will not include the “mighty eagle” plug-in.? Not all devices support apps with in-app purchase options.

Future versions of the game may allow users to transfer game files between devices.? iPhone and iPad users have been bugging for this feature, however Android phones make sharing files and data much easier.? So, the feature may be available on the Android front sooner than iPhone and iPad.

For those who just can’t wait for the full version, get the lite version for free at the Android marketplace. The lite version runs as a beta, and developers are asking users to report any problems, so they can be repaired in the full version of the game.

Verizon 4G Coming to a City Near You!

Verizon Wireless has announced that it’s making the fastest internet available to users in 38 cities.? Verizon users complained they couldn’t access data and talk on their mobile devices, so the company answered with a 4G network.

So, what’s the difference between 3G and 4G?? It all boils down to speed.? Most 3G networks range from 600-1,700 Kbps (kilobytes per second) download speed and 500-1,200 Kbps upload speed, depending on the carrier.? Verizon’s new 4G network claims it will be able to reach download speeds of 5-12 Mbps (megabytes per second) and upload speeds of 2-5 Mbps.

Verizon is targeting on the go business users who need an internet connection all the time.? But, with more and more people wanting to play games and stream videos online with their smart phone, the demand for a faster mobile internet is rising.

To ease the transition, the new 4G phones will also be 3G compatible.

Using technology called Long-Term Evolution, or LTE, the new network claims to be 10 times faster than the current 3G one most smart phones use.

According to www.ajc.com, Tony Melone – Verizon’s chief technology officer – said the migration to the new network is like adding lanes to a highway.

“The more capacity we give [people], the higher the speeds, the lower the latency, the more things that they do in a wired environment they can do in an unwired environment,” he said.

So, in an environment that’s always trying to move faster, what does that mean for the everyday smart phone user?? Potentially instant video downloads, online gaming capabilities, and instant access to news statistics while simultaneously video chatting on your phone.

One question Verizon has yet to answer is what the fees for this service will be.? Should calls make the transition to Skype type internet only technology, will your phone bill only consist of data fees?? Time will tell.

Sprint has had a 4G network for quite some time, but it is incompatible with LTE.? AT&T and T-Mobile are waiting for the technology to work out some of its kinks, and are expected to release 4G phones later this year or early next year.
