'Play' sits between Maps and YouTube
The most visited website in the western world now offers a one-click portal to the Android app store, in a new attempt by Google to bolster its mobile games business.
Weeks after Google rebranded the Android app store – it now exists within a consolidated media hub called Google Play – the search engine giant has added smartphone game access to the google.com front page.
A redesigned tab bar spread across the lid of the home page also features links to other popular Google destinations, such as image search, maps and YouTube.
Google Play combines several other entertainment services into its online network, such as books, music and movies.
The service is elementally Google’s fully-branded alternative to iTunes, accessible to most existing Android devices. It provides chart data on bestselling apps and games, as well as recommended content.

Microsoft was forced to apologise after staff in a Microsoft retail store in Santa Clara denied that an Android phone had beaten Windows Phone in a 'Smoked by Windows Phone' marketing event.
The software giant has been running a marketing campaign in retail locations in the US in which store staff challenge owners of Android smartphones to look up information with the chance to win US$100 if successful.
However one Microsoft store upped the ante and also put up a $1000 laptop up for grabs. Skattertech's Sahas Katter headed to the store to challenge Microsoft, armed with a Galaxy Nexus and Android 4.0 but despite winning the challenge, store staff declared that he had lost "just because".
Describing the event on his site, Katter revealed how he had placed weather widgets on his home screen and disabled the unlock screen. Thus when the challenge was delivered to display the weather in two cities, a triumphant Katter simply pressed the power button on his Galaxy Nexus and said "Done!".
"After trying to push for a real answer since I clearly won the contest by their rules, another Microsoft Store employee (possibly a manager) came by after noticing me asking more questions," Katter said.
"Thinking on his feet, he quickly gave a ridiculous out-of-thin-air reason that I need to display the weather of different cities in different states and that “my phone could not do that”."
Microsoft manager Ben Rudolph later tweeted: "I want to make things right. So I've got a laptop & phone (& apology) for you."
The Verge later discovered that Microsoft's marketing campaign was 'tweaked' with techniques for tailoring the challenge "appropriate to your customer" which in this case means avoiding challenges that would result in a loss to certain models of Android phone.
"You should also steer clear of this challenge against an HTC Status (i.e. the Facebook Phone) as it also has a built in pocket-to-picture-to-post feature," Microsoft reportedly told store staff.

Even though 87 per cent use the service.
Apple revealed its Siri virtual assistant service in October at the iPhone 4S launch, and while 87 per cent of customers use the platform at least once each month, just over half are happy with what it has to offer, according to Parks Associates.
Siri was something of a game changer for Apple which put it ahead of rivals that don't have similar tech, though it seems that there is room for improvement.
The report says making everyday requests such as calls and sending texts are the most common tasks made via Siri, while over one-third neglect voice-activated services such as setting alarms, tracing locations and setting reminders.
Although Siri can understand native speak, users complained about needing complete silence for the service to function properly, while other says the platform can't understand accents.

 First Star Software's Spy vs. Spy, originally released in 1984 for Commodore 64, was a two-player game of sabotage and intrigue, as the famous spies from Mad Magazine stalked an embassy, stealing confidential documents and other items while setting ridiculous traps for each other.
WB Games sent Joystiq the above image, playfully presenting it as a mystery. It's a mystery we're happy to solve: the screenshot looks just like a redrawn version of the original game, the First Star logo and copyright info suggests this new thing is based on the same content, and developer Robots & Pencils(whose logo also appears in the teaser image) identifies itself as an iPhone and iPad developer.
Put all that together, and you have a Spy vs. Spy remake for iOS. Which, if we can remotely plant traps for our friends (in the game!) sounds pretty great.

Apple's newest iPad could be making a trek over to the Orient very soon, if this latest regulatory filing is any indication. As recently as last week, China's Quality Certification Center granted that Cupertino slate -- bearing model number A1416 -- its seal of approval, paving the way for a retail debut in the region. If and when it does make it to official sales channels, expect that particular unit to be of the WiFi-only variety, as additional clearance is necessary for network-enabled variants. Despite an ongoing trademark scuffle over Chinese ownership of the iPad moniker, the company is expected to carry on with business as usual, adding to its near 70 percent domination of the tablet category in that region.

And now for some weather.
comScore's MobiLens report says nearly 37 per cent of smartphone users in EU5 reported accessing news sites via an app or browser in January 2012. That's an increase of 74 per cent over the past year.
Activity was highest in the UK, with nearly half (46.8 per cent) of smartphone users reporting having accessed news sites at least once in the past month.
Growth was fastest among the Spanish smartphone audience, which grew its monthly news access rate by127 per cent.
Overall, in the three months ending January 2012, 39.5m EU5 smartphone users accessed news sites via an app or browser on a monthly basis – that's 36.9 per cent of the total smartphone audience.
“The continued growth in smartphone adoption in Europe has fuelled the increasing consumption of news and information on-the-go,” said Hesham Al-Jehani, comScore Europe product manager for mobile.

Privacy concerns trump user targeting.
This one has been coming for a while. Apple flagged up its strategy six months ago, warning developers it would act against UDID tracking because of pressure from government and sections of the media.
The UDID is an alphanumeric string, unique to each device, that's used by developers, ad networks, analytics firms and so on to track a users app and site activity. It's a pretty important tool when so many content providers rely on ad funds to monetise their business.
But Apple is worried about UDIDs because, unlike web cookies, they can’t be cleared or deleted. And there are clearly ethical concerns around tracking users when they haven't given specific consent.
According to TechCrunch Apple is already rejecting apps that record UDIDs. It quotes developers including Fluik and Playhaven as having products declined.
It says two of the 10 review teams started doing blanket rejections of apps that access UDIDs this week. Next week, that will rise to four the ten teams, and keep escalating until all 10 teams are turning down apps that are still using UDIDs.

The promise of an Army app store has been bandied about for quite a while now, but it looks like it's slowly becoming a reality. The US Army has today officially announced a prototype of the Army Software Marketplace, a web-based app store that currently includes twelve different training apps that have been approved for Army-wide use. That includes just iOS apps initially, but the Army promises that it will soon include apps for Android devices as well. It's also of course looking to expand considerably beyond those dozen odd apps, noting that the prototype is just "a first step in establishing and exercising new submission and approval processes that will eventually enable Army members, organizations and third-party developers to release applications for Army-wide distribution." And you thought the approval process for some of the current app stores was stringent.

EDIT: Rovio chief executive Mikael Hed has since told Reuters that in fact it will be developing a Windows Phone 7 version of Angry Birds Space.
Angry Birds Space won't be released on Windows Phone, developer Rovio has said, because the returns on offer from what the Finnish Studio describes as a "smaller platform" wouldn't justify the work required.
Speaking to Bloomberg, CMO Peter Vesterbacka said: "We're the number one app in the Windows Phone app store, but it's a big undertaking to support it, and you have to completely rewrite the application.
"If you look at activations, Apple's iOS and [Google's] Android are clearly bigger than any other platform. We want to be on all screens, but we have to consider the cost of supplying the smaller platforms. With Windows Phone, it's a lot of work to technically support it."
Bad news for Microsoft, then, and even worse for Nokia, which has pinned its hopes of revival on Windows Phone, which ships on its entire range of handsets. Vesterbacka expects Space to push theAngry Birds series past a billion lifetime downloads in the next few months, and two billion by the end of the year; on iPhone, it's already replaced Draw Something at the summit of the Top Paid and Top Grossing charts.

The next generation iPhone could have a larger 4.6-inch Retina display according to a Reuters report, citing a South Korean newspaper.
The normally conservative Reuters has apparently placed stock in a report that surfaced in the South Korean Maeil Business Newspaper which suggested that Apple has already placed orders for 4.6-inch screens from Apple's display makers LG and Samsung.
Reuters also said the device would appear in the second quarter, which is clearly nonsense. The actual article in question states the 'summer' which has a rather more plausible time frame, possibly including September and October in line with current expectations.
The question of whether Apple would really leap frog from the relatively small 3.5-inches all the way up to the current monsterphone vogue of 4.6-inches is a matter that PCR will leave for readers to consider.
The Verge published some comparison photos of the iPhone 4 next to a Galaxy Nexus (pictured) which has the same size screen as rumoured.

RIM loses top spot to Apple in its own backyard for the first time.
RIM has had a hard time in recent months and now it has lost leadership of the Canadian mobile market for the first time ever, according to Bloomberg and IDC.
The Ontario-based BlackBerry maker shipped 2.08 million devices in Canada last year, which was beaten by 2.85 million iPhone shipments.
It's an interesting development, given that BlackBerry was the top dog in 2008 when RIM secured sales fivefold the number of Apple and again in 2010 outselling the iPhone by over 500,000.
The power shift is likely down to the increasing developments Apple is putting into its devices such as Siri and dual-core processors, while RIM can't offer any of those features at present.
In light of these results, RIM really needs its BlackBerry 10 OS to be a success, and more importantly, it needs to arrive sooner rather than later.

Talk of Worldwide Developer's Conference taking place stirs up the rumour mill.
CultofMac reports that Apple has pencilled the next WWDC event into its diary, taking place on June 11th.
If that is the case, it could mean the unveiling of iOS 6, the upgrade to Apple's existing operating system.
However, while the 'corporate event' may take place in summer, it's unlikely delegates will glimpse the iPhone 5, given that the 4S was released in October, and Apple is expected to do the same for its successor this year.
Interestingly, we recently reported that Android Jelly Bean is also expected to be launched in summer, which could bring the two platforms head-to-head once again.

Our initial reaction upon receiving the announcement for King of Fighters Android was something along the lines of, "Yes! Finally, SNK Playmore must have read all our letters and decided to make a special version of King of Fighters XIII with the Cell Saga androids from Dragon Ball Z! Yes."Well, it turns out that's not what this is. Instead, King of Fighters Android is King of Fighters game for Google's Android OS, which is probably a more reasonable business decision in the long run. Judging from the screenshots below, it appears to be based on King of Fighters XIII, or at least heavily influenced by its art style. The game features 20 fighters, five different play modes and unlockable bonus content like trading cards and concept art.Available now for $4.99, the game is officially compatible with the Galaxy S 2, Galaxy Tab 10.1, Xperia Acro HD, and Xperia Play, which should be a good fit for the title considering it has actual buttons. Compatibility with other Android devices is untested and should be attempted at your own risk; two marketplace reviews already indicate the game does not function on the Galaxy Nexus.http://www.joystiq.com/2012/03/22/ki...ices-for-4-99/

Developer Overhaul Games has revealed some images of Baldur's Gate running on the iPad, but that's about it. Other than it existing, nothing else is known about the iPad version.Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition will launch this summer with the original game, Tales of the Sword Coast expansion pack, and "a new adventure and new party member." See the original announcement for more information, and see our gallery below for images of how you might lounge around and tap through the game when it launches this summer.http://www.joystiq.com/2012/03/22/ba...-edition-ipad/

India's undoubtedly seen its fair share of cheap slabs, but if folks are willing to shell out a bit more than2,000 or 2,900 rupees, they can end up snagging a better-specced piece of hardware. Priced at a modest 8,900 rupees (around $180), Zync's launching its Z990 7-inch slate, which claims to be the first to hit the Indian market with Android four-dot-oh on board. Alongside Big G's fresh treat are a TFT, 800 x 480 display, 1.2GHz CPU with 1GB of RAM, plus HDMI and microUSB ports. Naturally, and perhaps most importantly, the Z990 has the credentials to let you get all your favorite content via Google Play. Zync's got the tab up for grabs, and you can pop one in your cart now by heading over to the Letsbuy shop, linked down below to make it easier for you.

To date, it seems that Mountain View has employed a loose definition of the term "integrated," neglecting to offer such Google Voice features as a unified messaging inbox, or an option to access voicemails without switching back to the dedicated app. Well we have some good news for those of you that haven't completely abandoned voice-based communication. The latest GV update adds a special topping to that Ice Cream Sandwich (sorry, Gingerbread men), letting you launch visual voicemails directly from your Android call log -- and bringing Voice integration a step closer to actually being integrated. You'll also have the power to slow down a message to jot down a callback number, or speed it up to get to the juicy stuff, like a callback number. Full details are at the source link below, or on your very own ICS handset after a quick trip to Play.

Milestone hit in ten days netting the firm over $5m.
Along with the unveiling of the new iPad on March 7th, Apple also revealed iPhoto for iOS, a notable move as the app was previously just available for Macs.
Now, The Loop reports Apple has passed the milestone for one million iPhoto downloads within ten days of its release.
The premium app is priced at $4.99 and doesn't seem to have deterred iPad and iPhone users, which is good news for Apple that will have made more than $5 million from sales.
Of course, the sum is just small change compared to the $98 billion nest egg the company is currently sitting on.
The app features a series of functions including multi-touch, speed, enhancements, and social media integration, seemingly with a view to rival Adobe PhotoShop at a fraction of the price
