Android – Iphone – Applications

There is a whole slew of different mobile games available for the various mobile operating systems. This large library of games is thanks to the various mobile application stores such as iOS’ App Store and the Android Marketplace. While many of these games have seen critical acclaim, there are some that stand out from the rest both in terms of gameplay and sales numbers.

Angry Birds from Rovio, for instance, has long been the number one most sold iOS application in the store and has seen high reviews across the board. While the game has already been available on the Nokia N900 for some time, it’s only been available for Google’s Android mobile operating system in beta form. Luckily, if you’ll remember, we told you that the final version of Angry Birds wold be coming soon. In fact, the final version was expected to debut this week but it seems that the game has been pushed back.

Rovio has notified us of this delay and lets us know that it has to do with problems surrounding multitask support. However, there is hope as Rovio says this will only cause about a week’s delay and Android users can expect to see Angry Birds on the Marketplace sometime next week.

We’ll let you know when.

I think that we all know about some of the neat software of the Nokia N900 such as Chrome and that Firmware update a while ago.

At least, that is what these people at the University of Manchester in the UK are working on. Their prototype is able to track up to 22 facial features in realtime with the front facing camera.

As you can see in the video, tt has the ability to track when the camera is tilted, or even upside down. This active interface was developed for the EU-funded Mobile Biometrics, or MoBio project.

So, will all phones have this face recognition? That would imply that instead of passwords, you have to just let it scan your face.
