Rovio was at Comic-Con this week, teasing its newest upcoming title, Angry Bird Transformers. The game has yet to be given a release date, having been first teased back in June, but we guess it will arrive sometime in the Fall of this year. After coming down from its Star Wars partnership, it will be interesting to see if Rovio can continue momentum for its Angry Birds titles with the Transformers franchise. (more…)

Friday Poll: Which Google App Would You Like to See Receive a Material Design Makeover Next?
While cruising through /r/Android on reddit, we came across an interesting poll, asking folks which Google app they would like to see receive a Material Design makeover next.
Now that we have Google+, Chrome Beta, and a bit of Google Play updated with the new UI, there is a long list of other Google applications that could use it. While all of these apps are completely functional in their current state, the inner fanboy in all of us would love to see all of them updated with the Material Design look, but the only question is, which one do we want next?
While my personal request would be for Google Play Music, Hangouts, and Gmail (maybe not in that order), we know that eventually all of these apps will receive a massive facelift.
Answer the poll below, then go ahead and give us a brief explanation as to why in the comments section.

Google Gives “Offline Games” Their Own Section in Google Play
There are games aplenty that require a steady data connection for playing, but that is sometimes because game makers are either concerned over piracy or the game features an online multiplayer, which would naturally require a data connection.
Regardless of why an app needs to be connected constantly, Google now has a new section in Google Play for Offline Games. That’s right, a full group of games that do not require a data connection. (more…)
AT&T Launches Eight New 4G LTE Markets Across US
This morning, AT&T announced yet another set of cities/towns that have been graced with their 4G LTE network. It seems that the network won’t stop its rollout, at least until every US resident is bathed in faster data speeds.
As for the competition, Verizon announced the end of its 4G LTE rollout quite some time ago, and we actually expected the same from AT&T, as both carriers are now focusing on LTE-Advanced in select markets. Verizon is also beefing up large chunks of its LTE network to XLTE, which simply boosts bandwidths in struggling sectors. (more…)
