Browser Option Is Only For Android Users


It can be said that any Smartphone or tablet is useless without a browser. The browser is not something new that we have started using on our tablet or Smartphone; browsers have been into existence since long as we have been using this on our computers as well. It can be said that browsers take us to all new world wherein one can explore the possibilities of knowing the world that is completely different. Initially, only internet explorer was introduced but later just like in all the other product’s market, the competition increased and various other browsers like that of Safari, Opera, Chrome and Mozilla was introduced. Each browser has its own set of features and different individuals like different browsers depending on the requirement and expectation that they have from the browser.
Today, almost all the company has a personalized browser and it doesn’t allow other browsers to work on their device. The Windows tablet allows the user to utilize Internet explorer and iOS operating system has their own browser. Among all these competitors, it can be said that Google is trying to be fair. Android operating system allows the user to install any browser that they like rather than just forcing the user to use chrome. It doesn’t mean that Google isn’t pushing its browser; they are pushing their browser but in the mean time, they are giving a fair chance to all the other browsers as well. It wouldn’t have been a difficult task for Google to block the usage of other browsers on their device but Google decided not to do so as that might hurt the user’s sentiments. If a person takes a look at an Android user’s device then they will realize that apart from Chrome, they might be having at least two more browsers installed.
If one discusses this issue with iOS then they clearly state that due to security issue they cannot allow installation of other browsers in their device. iOS has a webkit browser preinstalled on their iPhone and iPad; many users who have used an Android device and an iOS device states that the speed of webkit is very slow as compared to other browser like that of chrome and Opera. Recently, iOS allowed to built Safari and Chrome for iOS but it was noticed that certain important features were not supported in iOS. If a person uses Chrome in iOS then they would not get access to the option of opening multiple tabs thus, forcing the user to get back to the preinstalled browser. One of the major problems with preinstalled browser is that it cannot support pages that have been developed using JavaScript.
Chrome is trying to be in the competition by way of being fair and not like that of other browsers. There are many websites that are developed in such a way that they can be used completely only with the help of Chrome so this note is featured on these websites thus, allowing the user to get back to chrome rather than any other browser. Android device allows complete freedom of installation of any browser that the user wants thus, making it the best.

Final Fantasy III (for Android)


Final Fantasy III (for Android)

  • Pros
    Faithful update of a classic. At least 40 solid hours of questing and monster-killing.
  • Cons Main plot isn't compelling. Very difficult for first five hours. Expensive.
  • Bottom Line
    Final Fantasy III is a moderately enjoyable traditional RPG for Android devices, but it doesn't have much of a story to buoy you along.





    An early-1990s RPG classic, Final Fantasy III has come to the Android Market with a very high price ($16.99 on Google Play) and equally high expectations. With mobile-focused producers like Kemco and Gamevil dominating the Android RPG space, can PC and console giant Square Enix show them how it's done? Not quite.
    The Android version of FF3 is a slightly updated port of the 2007 Nintendo DS release, which was a pretty major rewrite of the original 1990 Nintendo game. This is a classic Japanese console RPG: a party of four characters explores a world with two scales (outdoor and town/dungeon), collecting items and fighting monsters using turn-based combat as they grow in power.
    Graphics are pretty much a direct DS port as well, with an overhead view at three-quarters perspective. They don't stress Android devices, but they're a cut above some of the purely 8-bit RPGs you find on Google Play.
    The best aspect of game mechanics is the job system, which lets characters change classes at will. New classes get unlocked as the game goes on. Switching around classes adds a lot to the fun of the game, although unfortunately it's difficult to figure out what each one does without consulting online strategy guides.
    What's The Story?One of my biases comes to the fore here: I love a good story, and FF3 doesn't have one. For the first three hours or so of the game, you're left bumbling around knowing the main quest is something vague involving a crystal. Then you find out more, but the plot is still a vague MacGuffin, not the passionate and character-driven stuff you see from games like Symphony of Eternity.
    The characters, meanwhile, each get a bit of an origin but then act blandly generic throughout the game. Contrast that once again to Symphony, which keeps hitting notes of mystery, humor and romantic tension as time goes on.
    That said, if the journey is the destination, FF3 has plenty of journey—at least 40 hours' worth, if you're not already a Final Fantasy expert. While this is a linear quest with only a few side quests, every step of the linear quest is different. And the little sub-quests do have plots—save this town, rescue that princess—to keep you occupied.

Top Free Android Games

1. Angry Birds Space
Again ... really? Fine: Did you know that Angry Birds can now be played via gesture on Samsung Smart TVs? Pretty neat-o.

2. Angry Birds
(Should we even be surprised at this point?) Ooh--look! Angry Birds is headed for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and 3DS!

3. Logo Quiz
This trivia game from Bubble Quiz Games returns to test your knowledge of what consumers seem to be all about these days: brands. You'll point out over 700 logos and attach their images to the companies they represent. Looks like it's a blast for some people ... amazingly.

4. Ant Smasher
Guess what you do in this game! But watch out for those bumblebees--they're a doozy. Best, Cool & Fun Games sure knows how to rope in the players. We'd love to be sarcastic about that, but the numbers make it fact.

5. Temple Run
Look, if you haven't played this game or at least heard about it yet, then we can't explain where the hell you've been. But really, if you're going to play an endless runner, this is where it's at.

Music Hero6. Fruit Ninja
Yet another one of those must-haves that the Android masses seem to still be catching up on with the rest of the mobile gaming world. Just hit that download button already.

We iPhone and iPad gamers have been there, done that. But this is still a brilliant mobile game no matter what you're playing it on.

9. Pool Master Pro
This is essentially the complete digital pool experience (pictured above) on your Android device, or at least that's what developer Terrandroid seems to bill it as. With 3D ball animation, 8-Ball and 9-Ball play modes and local multiplayer, it certainly sounds like it's getting there.

10. Music Hero
Have you played Rock Band? Guitar Hero? Tap Tap Revolution, perhaps? Good, then you'll know exactly how to tackle this rhythm game (pictured right) by Words Mobile. Aside from its impressive visuals, support for your very own MP3 library is what should set this music game apart.

StarCraft: Supply Depot 2 Coming To iOS And Android


For April Fool's Day, Blizzard unveiled a fake mobile game called StarCraft: Supply Depot 2. The game, playable through your browser today, is an 8-bit side-scroller with a twist.

The twist is that the game doesn't side-scroll. You play the role of a Terran Supply Depot. Like the depots in StarCraft, you can sit there or lower yourself into the ground so troops can pass. That's all you can do, though.

"Pushed to their limits, the beleaguered terrans plan a last-ditch attempt to save their people from extinction," says Blizzard. "They enter deep development on the most important research project of their time, one that will elevate warfare forever. RAISE your expectations! LOWER your enemies into the ground!! Mankind's last resort is...Supply Depot!"

The few entries on Supply Depot 2's features list poke fun at a few other games in the industry.
  • Endless hours of gaming including repeat playthroughs and Endurance Mode!
  • Multiple endings, each influenced by your choices and color-coded for your convenience! (Further epic endings planned for post release as downloadable content.)
  • Tens of hundreds of thousands of unlockable hats!
A few screenshots from Supply Depot 2 are below. You can try a Flash version of the game at its webpage.
