March 27th is here, and as promised, Imagani Studios has released Temple Run onto the Google Play Store. This highly addictive game has been winning over iOS users for months and has been downloaded over 40 million times. It’s already been downloaded 5,000 times since it landed in the Play Store and I have to admit, the game is addictive. I downloaded it myself an hour ago and my kids have been fighting over it ever since.
TeeFury, the online site which features one new super limited-edition tee every 24 hours for $10 has a geeky t-shirt you might be interested in. Today’s t-shirt — which will be gone in about 4 hours — features our favorite Android mascot being carried off by the mischievous Jawa of Star Wars. This parody of a geek classic is a satirical take on the license fees involved every time a droid phone is sold according to the designer. I’m assuming he’s referring to the licensing fees being paid to Lucasfilm Ltd. for the DROID name, but either way, it’s a cool little t-shirt that meshes some geeky goodness.
Last week we told you about the newest Humble Bundle for Android featuring five never-before-seen on Android games. Humble Bundle allows users to pay what they want for a bundle of indie games that can be played on Android, Mac, Windows, and Linux.

Just a quick reminder that registration for Google I/O kicks off tomorrow. Registration will open at 7:00 a.m. PDT and will most likely sell out within the hour. Then again, this year’s prices have double from $450 to $900 so there’s a chance it may take a few more hours to sell out but be warned — it will sell out! You’ll need a G+ account to register and Google Wallet to make payment so make sure you’re prepared beforehand.
If the lack of a quad-core processor had you balking at the idea of purchasing a stateside HTC One X, you might want to take a look at the following benchmarks because the results of the Snapdragon S4 version show that quad-core isn’t everything. A forum member over at Android Central was able to give us a look at some early benchmarks using an AT&T HTC One X and Vellamo and Quadrant benchmark tools. The results are astonishing and have the S4 destroying quad-core powerhouses such as the ASUS Transformer Prime.
