Tower Defense Seduction Runs Deep

I love tower defense games – the sounds, the strategy, and the music of turrets.

There are a lot of Tower Defense games out there on the Android Marketplace.

The question, therefore, is not whether there ARE any of these games, but rather WHICH one should I play. Choices can be overwhelming.

Today, I will share three of my favorite Tower Defense games for the Android platorm. In order to meet the needs of this blog’s audience, I have carefully screened for apps that work well on both the Motorola Triumph and on the LG Optimus V!

First, FieldRunners HD – $2.99 (Android Market)

Yet More Android App Sales For The Holidays

I wish that the Android market had gift cards because how cool would it be to be able to give someone a gift certificate with various app logos – even cooler if they were sweet stickers that doubled as gift cards…..someone should get on that .

As it stands now, you will still have to fork over a credit card or perhaps a prepaid card (still not as cool as the sticker app card idea though).

Let me help you get more bang for your buck with a little holiday sale roundup.

Songbird’s Free Android Media Player App Keeps Rock’n

Posted by Dana Rock on Nov 4, 2011 in Android Apps, LG Optimus V, Music, Reviews | 0 comments

From the archives [originally published in April]:

I don’t know about you, but the cute short black birdie with the DJ headphones makes me smile every time.

I am excited that there is a new Android app, which you can get from Songbird or the Android Marketplace.

Songbird has had a desktop client for a some years now that made listening to music on the internet an easier feat.

It was made to look a bit like Itunes and Firefox – sort of like the kid they would have.

As a result, we have this really cute black bird and a super sweet media player.

Right now, it is simple, sleek, and sexy.

Oh, and its completely free!

I’m excited to see where this app goes in the future. I hope to see more music browser functionality like its desktop version in the future.

That will make Android’s songbird truly stand out among the rest of the media players on the market.

Maybe Songbird’s attempt to make a stellar Linux media player that has since been discontinued laid the foundation for this very promising Android app.

What are you waiting for? Check it out!
