I gotta say, the Google Play logo never looked so good. After it was discovered that Google Play gift cards were going to be in Android’s future, the only question to ask was, “when?” Well, it looks like it may be sooner than later thanks to a few pics Android Central was leaked. An anonymous tipster sent in a couple pictures of the soon to be sold $10 and $25 Google Play gift cards.

If you can’t make it through the day without some D&D (I’m not talking Dungeons & Dragons you nerds) then this next bit of news is for you. Dunkin’ Donuts wants to keep you running with their new app for Android and iOS. Released today, the Dunkin’ Donuts app allows customers to easily locate the nearest D&D, make payments, gift DD, and more. The app is supposed to make your Dunkin’ run easier, but the payment system seems a bit awkward to me.

Boy, oh boy, what do we have here? Finally, Google is taking the Play Store to the next level by introducing Gift Card support. Android users have been waiting for this moment since they first opened the Android Market on their G1s. Lack of gift card support has been the Achilles heel of the Play Store and the main reason why Android has been unable to touch the App Store when it comes to paid content consumption. That’s all about to change thanks to a few hidden gems found within the updated Play Store apk.

It’s starting to look like Verizon will hit its 400 market goal well before the end of the year. With plans to unleash yet another wave of 4G LTE rollouts, Verizon will hit the 371 mark by tomorrow. While some markets are already seeing 4G LTE, tomorrow’s scheduled rollout aims to add 34 new markets and expand LTE in another 38 markets. At the very least, this news reminds me why I’m still on Verizon.

I woke up this morning to find my credit card billed for my VIZIO Co-Star preorder. Previously, my order was in processing limbo, but now it looks like VIZIO might be ready to start shipping its $99 Google TV set-top box. I immediately checked my order online at the VIZIO store and was disappointed to find that it still said “Processing,” but I’m going to remain optimistic and hope to see that change to “Shipped” within the next day or two.
