App 2 SD

Android is one of the leading smartphone platforms and there is no doubt about it, and the ever-growing Android Market just leaves the user spoilt with choices. Apps ranging from casual-free games to hardcore 3D console action, and utility apps that just make life a whole-lot easier. The biggest drawback being the storage-space. All the apps, once installed, get saved in the phone memory and not on the expandable one, taking up to much space off the already limited phone storage. Here comes in the life-savior (memory-savior), App 2 SD.

Duck Hunting

The advent of HD gaming entered our devices, and minds, as quickly as a storm.

Ported by Andrey_N_S, the port seems to work really well, but strangely only on the higher-end smartphones and no one seems to be complaining yet.

This one is an iOS universal app, so users with both iPhone and iPad are in for a treat.

There are very few instances in the gaming world when the central character garners a bigger fan-following than the entire game itself. Cut The Rope is just one of such examples, where the cute little green monster OM-NOM takes over the fans with its amazing look and the most infectious personality. Cut The Rope was developed by Zeptolabs and the team back there has surely done a terrific job - and this not only applies to the cute little character but also to the way the app always stays updated and fresh.
