The latest game from Noodlecake Studios, Inc., Happy Fall, may have just become one of our favorite new time killers. Not only is it a cute and colorful experience, but it’s the kind of game that beckons you back for more and more. Our friends from Happy Jump are back! Happy Fall is the brand new sequel game to Happy Jump! Join a cute family of Jelly and Ice Cream characters on an exciting journey. Drop safely between the platforms to fall down deeper and deeper.
I’m not going to lie, I expected this to be the kind of title I’d let my nine year old son play. But, after a few times through, I came to appreciate the challenges and unlockable content. Good luck getting me to give up my phone for him to play. Your task is simple: fall to the bottom of the screen. To do this you simply lean your phone or tablet from side to side and let the accelerometer do the work. Along the way you’ll have to collect coins, avoid obstacles, elude enemies, and have fun. The coins you grab are accumulated to be used in the game’s store of additional characters, power-ups, boosters, and other clever stuff. Be careful! The screen starts moving faster as you get further along so you need to think quick and figure out whether you need to go left or right.

| Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini with NFC to launch this month Posted: 21 Jan 2013 09:04 AM PST If you’ve been looking at your options for a new phone, and have been considering a Galaxy S3 Mini, chances are you noticed the lack of NFC support in the current model. Later this month, however, that will change, and Samsung is launching an NFC-capable version in the UK this month. Aside from NFC, we’re looking at a 4-inch device with a WVGA (800×480) SuperAMOLED display, a 1GHz dual-core CPU, 1GB of RAM and TouchWiz’d Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. Pricing isn’t available yet, but Samsung says we should be seeing the new device on major UK carriers at the end of January. Full press release below.

| Sony Xperia Tablet Z now official, also shows off for the camera [video] Posted: 21 Jan 2013 08:24 AM PST Sony has officially announced the Sony Xperia Tablet Z, and it looks pretty slick. As far as specs, we’re looking at:
The tablet is only 6.9mm thick, making it, as far as we know, the thinnest tablet available on the market. The Xperia Z is also being touted as dustproof and waterproof, and comes with what Sony is calling “S-Force Front Surround 3D”, which “helps convey the movement of sound and a spacious feeling”. The device is only slated for the Japanese market thus far, and we have no word on pricing or availability in other areas. At the same time, a leak has occurred in China for the very same device, showing off the Tablet Z for about 30 seconds.

| HTC M7 gets photographed in the wild Posted: 21 Jan 2013 07:48 AM PST
The HTC M7 scene seems to be picking up steam as of late, what with two renders of the soon-to-be-announced smartphone. Just as the second one looks more legit than the first, the same could be said about this one. Really, what’s more real-looking than a photo? Oh yeah, well-crafted hoaxes. Nevertheless, this looks to be the genuine thing so we’re sharing it with you guys. The team at AndroidPolice have what are allegedly the first front and back photos of the HTC M7. What’s more, there are also three screen grabs of the user experience to tease the fanboys. Should the images prove accurate, HTC Sense may be getting a total overhaul, if only on the lock screen weather widgets.
What’s your thoughts on the HTC M7 thus far? Are you getting more excited for this handset or do you see anything here that tickles your fancy?

| Samsung pokes fun at BlackBerry in latest ad campaign Posted: 21 Jan 2013 06:53 AM PST “This is business” A new ad campaign for Samsung landed on YouTube this past weekend so you might see an abridged version on television in the near term. You’ll see in the embedded clip below that Samsung doesn’t fear BlackBerry and its new (perhaps final?) push back into the smartphone war.

| Early details for Samsung Galaxy Tab 3, other models spill online Posted: 21 Jan 2013 06:37 AM PST
Switching gears for a moment, the processor for the Galaxy Note 8.0 has been found to be a 1.6GHz CPU, though its exact type is unclear. The “Kona” is shaping up to be a rather impressive mid-range hardware experience for the mid-size Galaxy Note. Additional specs are reported to include Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, 2GB RAM, 16GB/32GB storage options, microSD expansion, an 8-inch 1280×800 TFT (Super Clear LCD), and 4600mAh battery. Finally, a small bit of information to keep in mind for a high-end Samsung tablet operating under a “Roma” code name. Keep your eyes and ears open for a GT-P8200 with 16GB or 32GB storage and a 5-megapixel camera. This one could be something that follows in the line of the Nexus 10 and should also debut in the first half of the year.
