APP News

First off, Gameloft has finally release one of their most anticipated games, especially by me. Asphalt 7: Heat. The game currently is only $.99 in the Play Store (a small price if you still have part of the $25 Google gave you), and runs great on my tablets, predominately the Nexus 7. Check out Asphalt 7 here.

Lastly, much-anticipated “Carbon for Android” has been delayed indefinitely from release, that was supposed to happen this week. The developers of the app have now gone with a Cyanogenmod style of doing things by saying “No ETA of release is available”. Read the full developer comment on his personal Google + post.

 

Ciao Updates!
