Google Play deals: select games for $0.25, books for $0.99, music albums and movies starting at $3.99

Christmas came earlier this year, as we already told you yesterday, when first hearing about the Google Play deals celebrating 25 billion app downloads. That’s a pretty major landmark for everything Android, and we’re now happy to be able to share specific details about the discounts happening in Google Play.
First up, we have 14 “top” apps available for 75+% off, all of which can be purchased for the symbolic price of $0.25. There’s quite a lot to choose from this list, although I didn’t get my wish (yet) of seeing N.O.V.A. 3 or NBA Jam up for grabs for a quarter of a buck.

Angry who? It’s time for some Bad Piggies

You know Rovio made 51 games before Angry Birds, with varying degrees of success, but since they hit on the magic formula with our fine feathered friends, new releases have been few and far between.

LG lobs a patent infringement lawsuit at Sammy over “stolen OLED tech”

Everyone wants a piece of Samsung these days, it seems. I’m not sure if it’s because of their skyrocketing status or just because everyone wants to copy Apple, but LG is the latest inhibitor to Samsung’s uncontrolled climb to Android dominance. The latest volley of attacks between the Korean-based companies is about none other than OLED panel design and LG’s “Narrow Bezel” technology.

LG officially announces the Optimus Vu II, and it’s just as confusing as the first one

When LG announced the Optimus Vu in February of this year, we were taken aback. The device was obviously intended to be a Samsung Galaxy Note clone, but LG’s key differentiator with the Vu was the screen. Whereas practically every phone on the market makes use of a 16:9 display, LG opted to go 4:3 with the Vu, which made it impossible to hold, much less slide into your pocket. Anyway, the Vu hit the Korean market one month later, in March, and then it finally came to America’s shores a couple of weeks ago on Verizon as the “LG Intuition”.
