| GameStop now taking in trades of Galaxy Tabs and Nexus devices Posted: 30 Apr 2012 10:56 AM PDT
Game freaks and Android fans rejoice. GameStop has begun taking trades on both Nexus devices and Galaxy Tabs. This adds to the device market for GameStop, as they were previously taking in (and still are) iOS devices as well. With as popular as the mobile gaming market is becoming, GameStop is making, in this writer's opinion, a good, solid move with this. The picture above confirms that the Galaxy Tab and Nexus S devices are currently allowed, and rumor has it that many more devices will become accepted. Keep in mind, however, that these trade in acceptances are at select locations only... for now.

| LG to open cloud service tomorrow: 5GB free, 50GB for 6 months with an LG device Posted: 30 Apr 2012 10:43 AM PDT
LG has announced their plans to release their own cloud-based storage platform. Dubbed "LG Cloud" (Brilliant!), the service streams a plethora of media between your LG Smart TV and your other devices, stores your files in the cloud, and allows for quick, realtime streaming. File types allowed include: Video : 29 extensions including ASF, AVI, MPEG, MP4, WMV, MOV and MKV The service launches tomorrow for USA and South Korean customers, with no word on when it will head out to other regions. If you're a standard LG Hub user without an LG device, you'll get an automatic 5GB of storage. However, with an LG device, you get 50GB free for 6 months - pricing beyond that is yet a mystery. You'll need to both download the app from the Play Store and hit up the online hub to get started. via androinica LG to open cloud service tomorrow: 5GB free, 50GB for 6 months with an LG device originally appeared on AndroidGuys.

| New patent reveals Google design for slide-out, QWERTY style phone Posted: 30 Apr 2012 10:26 AM PDT
Google's designs for their prized Nexus line (Nexus One, Nexus S, Galaxy Nexus) have all followed the standard candybar-style. However, the latest from the rumor mill (or patent mill, as it were) is layouts for a slide out, QWERTY style device. We here at AndroidGuys are reminded of the HTC Dream, the original Android handset, in these pictures. There are several different slide out mechanism plans, including a scissor-hinge, sprint & stabilizing link, as well as a serpentine style. The patents were filed in January 2012, and just ran through the patent office this month. Be sure to hit up the source link below for full details, and let us know your thoughts in the comments.

| Free, as in beer: KegDroid uses NFC and Xoom tablet to dispense on-tap beer Posted: 30 Apr 2012 10:05 AM PDT
You have a tablet. You have an NFC enabled device. You have a thirst for anything awesome (read as: beer). So, what do you do? Well, if you're Google employee Paul Carriff, you'd probably respond with something along the lines of "make a beer dispenser". Click here to view the embedded video. Paul has taken a Motorola Xoom tablet and combined an Ardunio board to make this totally awesome beer dispenser, seen above. The way it works is simple. You have an NFC tag that literally cards you, as your age is built into the tag. You scan, and the dispenser gives it out, in perfectly defined increments. The Xoom even verifies that the beer is kept at an icy, refreshing 39 degrees Fahrenheit.

| Verizon begins new, friendlier Droid Does campaign Posted: 30 Apr 2012 09:07 AM PDT
Verizon has gone back to using their famous "Droid Does" line to promote some of their Android smartphones, as evidenced in the Youtube video below. Gone are the days of scaring consumers into buying a powerful hardware beast capable of doing just about anything. At least that is our hope. If this first clip is a sign of things to come, then we can expect to see a campaign that still promotes all the great things that Android phones do, but in a more subtle manner. What do you think of the kinder, gentler Droid Does ad below? Verizon begins new, friendlier Droid Does campaign originally appeared on AndroidGuys.

The numbers are in and it's quite obvious - people are not quite ready to move beyond the Angry Birds franchise anytime soon. Finnish game developer Rovio took to twitter to proclaim quite a hefty milestone for their latest game, Angry Birds Space. According to them, the game has racked up 50 million downloads in the first 35 days. To be clear, this is across multiple platforms, including Android, iOS, BlackBerry, and PC. Nevertheless it's one heck of a figure and one that should be commended.
Looking ahead, Rovio is already teasing something "bigger" for fans.
Anyone here anxious to find out what's coming from the Angry Birds series?

| LG puts their money on Android, decides Windows Phone hardware is less important Posted: 30 Apr 2012 07:25 AM PDT
In a move that shouldn't really surprise anyone, LG has decided to set development of Windows Phone hardware in lieu of using Android for more handsets. LG has been known to bring to the market some great devices such as the new LG Lucid and LG Thrill 4G, and (as shown at MWC by the complete lack of anything WP-related) has been able to bring up a profit for the first time in 7 quarters of turning over losses, greatly due to the Android device market. What do you think this means as far as what we can expect in the future from LG? Let us know in the comments.
