Littlest Pet Shop comes to Android thanks to Gameloft

Posted: 24 Nov 2012 01:25 PM PST

Gameloft has a new game out for folks who love cute, cuddly, adorable virtual pets with the release of Littlest Pet Shop. The Littlest Pet Shop toys are a popular item with the younger set where buyers try to collect a whole menagerie of animals. The actual toys do not have any “combat” or “game” system associated with them. They are only collectibles that kids can then play with using their imagination to guide them. Gameloft’s new title brings a little more structure as users can complete challenges, including simple things like caring for their pets, to unlock variations of the different animals. With 150 pets in the game and good attention to detail from Gameloft, the Littlest Pet Shop should keep little ones busy for some time.

Hit the break for some screenshots and a video as well as links to grab this free game.

N880E First ZTE Device To Receive Android 4.2 Update

Posted: 24 Nov 2012 11:54 AM PST

 

Chinese manufacturer ZTE has officially pushed its first Android 4.2 update– albeit to a device no one has really heard of outside of China at least. The lucky device receiving the update is the N880E, a mid-range device which was actually among the first devices to ship with not just Android 4.1, but a nearly stock build of Jelly Bean at that. So considering it runs on nearly a stock build of Android, ZTE probably didn’t need to do too much work in order to get the 4.2 update ready for the device. The update is rolling out as we speak, so most (if not all) owners should be getting a heavy dose of that Android 4.2 goodness before most other Android owners get a chance to enjoy it.

Yes— life is good for those of you who own the N880E smartphone. Hopefully it won’t be too long of a wait to see the same update for its other devices elsewhere in the world.

Apple Getting In The Holiday Spirit By Requesting The Addition Of Additional Samsung Devices In Patent Lawsuit

Posted: 24 Nov 2012 11:21 AM PST

 

‘Tis the season to be grateful for all sorts of possibilities and Apple is grateful for the ability to file yet another patent dispute against you guessed it— Samsung. According to Foss Patents, Apple would like to add additional variations of popular Samsung devices including the Jelly Bean-powered Galaxy S III, Galaxy Note II, Galaxy Tab 8.9 WiFi, Galaxy Tab 2 10.1, Rugby Pro and Galaxy S III mini, to its ever-growing list of devices accused of patent infringement. The thought is that Apple didn’t want to stand idle and be passive because well… Samsung recently went on the offensive and naturally Apple isn’t used to being pushed around and all.

Of course the recent filing was done during holiday hours, so we’ll need to wait to wait and see what the courts decide to do with this recent turn of events. Nevertheless, this should make for an exciting holiday season for Judge Lucy Koh, right?

Apple and HTC forced to show licensing agreement to Samsung’s legal team

Posted: 24 Nov 2012 10:02 AM PST

Not too long ago, HTC and Apple reached a settlement to end their patent disputes. Rumors were that it was a little unfair, but either way Samsung saw it as an opportunity to help their legal case against Apple and requested the details of the agreement be released. Fortunately for Samsung, Judge Paul S. Grewal agreed to the request, despite being “more than a little skeptical.” Samsung is planning to use that licensing deal to counter Apple’s injunctions by saying that Apple is fine with getting paid for their IP and patents, as is the case with that massive billion dollar payout, and therefore issuing injunctions against Samsung devices is an unnecessary step.

Apple’s legal team had previously agreed to share the settlement, but left out the financial part of it. According to this ruling today, Apple will have to reveal that last part about the finances. Don’t hold your breath on seeing any details soon, though; it’s been labeled for “Attorneys-Eyes-Only,” which means only Samsung’s legal team gets to see it. Hopefully something leaks in the next few weeks before the December 6th trial, right?

Samsung releases quad-core, dual screen flip phone designed for Jackie Chan

Posted: 24 Nov 2012 09:49 AM PST

 

Remember that ridiculously overpowered Samsung flip phone? It was released earlier today in conjunction with a big charity concert for the launch. Oh, and Jackie Chan was there, too. He got one of the brand new phones for free. Unfortunately, you almost have to be Jackie Chan to afford the phone, as it’s rumored to be priced between ¥18,000 ($2,900) and ¥20,000 ($3,210). For that hefty price tag, you get Android 4.0, dual-3.7-inch 800 x 480 Super AMOLED touchscreens, a quad-core Exynos 4412 processor with 2 GB of RAM, 16 GB of internal memory and an 1850 mAh battery, plus the standard 8 megapixel rear camera and 1.9 megapixel front camera.

So who’s putting one of these on their Christmas list this year?

The price and release date are still unknown, but the source of the images stated that we should expect more information on December 6th. With the holidays around the corner this could make the perfect gift for tech enthusiasts everywhere. Hit the break for more images.

If you were gonna pick up this phone, which color would you choose?
