Well it wasn’t long before the manual download link was just made available for Nexus One owners to grab the update by downloading it and manually installing it. Already the performance increase is ridiculous and an example of this is how fast Froyo boots up. Now the overall review of Froyo will be left to the other sites, we stick with gaming and here is our first impressions.
It seems Google is still pushing forward to show their commitment to games and gaming on Android. First it was hiring a Game Developer Advocate for Android, then the purchase of LabPixies and now it is a job posting for a Product Management Leader For Games. This job is for a Google position and not completely dedicated to Android, although I’m sure it’ll be a large part of the job.
Well it is starting to get to the point where a week won’t go by without some more news regarding peripherals and Android gaming. Just reported right now by Engadget, developer Ryan Frawley, has managed to get the Wiimote to work with your Android phone via a bluetooth connection. The software is available free for this demo/beta phase.
So as you may have noticed, I took the weekend off thinking this would be an ideal time to slip a couple days off and spend time with my family hoping it would be a slow news weekend. In reality it was a busy weekend not just for Android news but Android gaming news as well. So here is a quick rundown of gaming news over the weekend.
With the recent news surfacing about Android 2.2 (Froyo) already being tested live, thanks to some statistics posted by Taylor over at Android and Me, the question for all us game fans that arises is pretty obvious: What does this mean for gaming with Android devices? This is a good question especially since the recent update to the Android NDK.
Today is the last day we are doing our multi-game giveaway and I have to say it has been a great success! A lot of people have won so far and today will be no exception from that. We still have people who need to get in touch with me to claim their prizes and we still have a lot more to giveaway so if you haven’t entered yet, there is still time!
The crew over at PocketGamer came up with a tutorial of how to connect your Wiimote to your Android phone (using Bluetooth and Ryan Frawley’s little application available on the Android market). We’ve decided to repost the entire tutorial, unchanged, here for you as well. Thanks goes to Damien McFerrin for writing this great tutorial!
