Flipboard debuted on the Samsung Galaxy S III and was supposed to have an exclusive run until someone grabbed the apk and released it to the masses. Soon after, Flipboard figured they might as well put it out there themselves to see how it performed on various devices. That’s when they launched an open-beta for Android users and everything seemed to go off without a hitch. They’re now confident enough to officially launch the magazine-styled reader onto the Play Store for all to enjoy.

Microsoft is starting to warm up to Android a bit, after recently releasing My Xbox LIVE, they’ve now added the cute and cuddly animal sensation Kinectimals to the Google Play Store. Android users now have the chance to visit the island of Lemuria on their mobile device, as well as unlock five new cubs on thier Xbox console.

After a bit of a delay, Rockstar Games promised Android users that Max Payne would be hitting the Play Store on June 14, and sure enough, it’s here. If you head over to the Play Store, you’ll be able to download the gun blazin’, action packed shooter that brought Bullet Time effects to video games.

Warning: Verizon and Sprint customers look away. Google has begun selling accessories for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus on the Google Play Store, only problem, they’re only compatible with the GSM/HSPA+ model. Oh yea, and you can only get them in the US. So essentially, the majority of GSM/HSPA+ users won’t be able to purchase these accessories from the Play Store and the majority of US Galaxy Nexus owners also won’t be able to purchase these accessories from the Play Store. Wake me up when this bad dream is over.

Earlier in the month, Google announced they would allow additional Google Play content such as books and movies to be purchased using carrier billing. Today, that feature has gone live for Sprint customers who originally could only purchase apps via carrier billing. As it stands, every major carrier other than Verizon appears to have support for carrier billing.
