This looks like a fun game on iTunes known as A Moon for the Sky.

I suppose that the word for this app/game would be called a physics puzzler, and involves the user to draw a line to make a trampoline to send your character higher and higher and collect some stellar treasures.

Play about 18 levels and costs $1.99 for the iPad version. For a limited time, it is about $0.99 for the iPad, and the same price for the iPhone version.

We have reported on Ruckus Mobile Group before, like when they put out children’s classics and a free version of The Velveteen Rabbit.

Now they are offering A Present for Milo. It is good for younger readers as it has 80 tap-interactive objects and 125 animations. It also helps younger users’ reading skills to sound out words.

If you’ve been paying attention you may remember that we told you about a possible delay for the Dell Streak‘s Android ‘Froyo’ 2.2 update. At the time we told you it had been delayed to the middle of January but did not have official confirmation as to the validity of this rumor. Unfortunately, Dell has just come forth to let us know that the Android 2.2 update for their 5-inch Streak tablet/smartphone has indeed been delayed.

To make matters even worse, Dell did not state the reason for this delay instead going on to say that they will be continuing to work with AT&T to address the issue. Honestly though, I’m not a computer science major but what gives with these delays? Is it really that hard to port a new version of Android to these devices? I mean, the guys over at XDA-Developers seem to have no trouble doing it, so why not these actual big name companies?

What ever the case may be, we will keep you updated with any future happenings.

Google’s Android may quickly be becoming one of the most used mobile operating systems in the world but compared to a mobile platform like iOS, it isn’t exactly the prettiest. Luckily, Google is doing everything they can to change that by improving the platform’s user interface with each reoccurring release. However, one core component of the platform that is long overdue for an update is the Android Market.

Luckily, it was just announced that Google will in fact be updating the Android Market’s user interface giving it a sleek new look. This includes new things like promoted applications being displayed in a CoverFlow-esque manner along with content ratings getting displayed. That’s not all they are changing as they are also decreasing the time available for a refund from 24 hours to just 15 minutes alongside opening new dedicated categories for things like Live Wallpapers and Widgets.

That’s not all that’s coming but it is coming, and it’s coming soon. We’ll keep you posted and let you know as soon as we get wind that these updates are being pushed out.
