id Software’s “Rage” Coming to iPhone and iPad
Mar 15th
Doom co-creator John Carmack recently told Kotaku that we can expect to see id Software’s latest epic work in progress, Rage, land on the iPhone and iPad.
”Apple doesn’t give us anything ahead of time either, so haven’t put hands on it ourselves, but we certainly are expecting to try to have our Rage title for the iPhone, iPad, whatever, working across there.”
Rage is a soon to be released first person shooter/racer that is set in a post apocalyptic world. Unfortunately there is no official word on a release date but hopefully that will change during the upcoming E3 game show.
It’s great to see a gaming icon such as Carmack continue to praise and support Apple’s iPhone platform, not to mention personally coding existing games such as the Doom and Wolfenstein already in Apple’s App Store.

Poll Shows AG Community Is Unified On Apple vs. HTC
Mar 6th
For those of you who are unaware, every week Android Guys holds a poll accessible from the Android Guys App. For this week’s poll we picked the most controversial issue currently running through the Android communities; who do you feel is in the wrong regarding Apple’s latest lawsuit against HTC? While most of us are active Android promoters I assumed that we would get some people who see this from a legal point-of-view. Nope, apparently we are all unified in saying that Apple is in the wrong and that their patents stifle progress in the mobile industry. Not one person said “HTC is Wrong“!
My favourite part about sifting through the approximate 100 responses was the people that answered “Other”, just so they could have their own personal say. Here are just 2 of the responses I got, “f@$% Apple” and “Apple and Jobs are all b*****”. Obviously, this a strong issue for most and not something the Android community is taking lightly.
Download the Android Guys App and stay tuned for next week’s poll!

Yelp’s Got New Features: Bookmark Sync + Draft Support
Mar 4th
Yelp for Android arrived in December and has since been updated with some of the great features iPhone users are accustomed to. For those who have never used the service Yelp is a great way to review, discuss, and check out what businesses are good… and maybe not so good in your area! Today Yelp is bringing you Bookmark Sync and Draft Support in version 1.4 of their app.
What does that mean exactly? I thought you’d never ask. This makes the application experience almost as good as the web interface experience.
Download Yelp
Bookmark Sync allows you to bookmark things you like and want to remember so you can go back there or maybe want to check out later when you’ve got more time. Bookmarks are synced between your online account and your device. Whereas before you were not able to publish a full review of businesses, users can now create drafts on their device, have it spell-checked, proofed, and published later when you reach a computer. The Yelp app is downloadable for free from the Android Market. Check it out and let us know how it helped you.

Buzzie Unofficial Google Buzz App Hits App Store
Mar 4th
The first unofficial Google Buzz application, Buzzie, [$1.99 on sale - iTunes Link] has made it’s way into the Apple App Store.
Up until this point all Google Buzz users have had to rely on Google’s web interface, even on Google’s own Android OS, so Buzzie is a welcomed addition within the App Store. Whether or not Google decides to step up and release their own native application remains to be seen. The way things have been going between Google and Apple lately, who knows if they’d even be interested in attempting to get a official Buzz application into the App Store… or if it would be approved?
So if you use Buzz and give Buzzie a try, let us know how it works for you!

Rumours Say Canada May Have Paid Apps Soon
Feb 26th
Android is nothing new in Canada and while we don’t have a very large selection of different handsets, the average person would be able to tell you what it is. We may be quite excited about Android and it’s edgy approach to the mobile scene, but now we want more!
Most people have been content with free apps, but for those who have explored the reaches of Android will know that there is a whole other wonderful world of paid apps available to many others. Rumors have come from the Montreal Gazette and we have pulled conclusions that we could possibly see paid apps in the Canadian Android Market as soon as next week! Google Canada Spokesperson Wendy Rozeluk is quoted as saying,
“There are many factors that come into play to make sure the selling and purchasing processes run smoothly. It takes time to bring support to more countries, which is something we are working hard to do”.
The latter is quite true as mistakes could cost Android big, being it is technically the new guy on campus. Also, the Montreal Gazette goes on to say, “She said Google is working on the problem and hopes to make an announcement next week.”
This would have many good outcomes including developer profits and willingness to develop for Android. In the end we have to remember that the market is a business and business thrives with more customers! I’m excited are you?

Official Android Guys App… Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger
Feb 17th
It seems only right that we give our loyal readers the first look into the “oh-so-close-to-being-done” Official Android Guys App. Besides some unknown random errors you will fall head over heels for this app. It’s got a sexy appeal, solid news, and extra goodies to back it up as a top-notch Android app. At Android Guys we look at this app as a way to get Android related news to our readers quicker and easier. It will also encourage new users to become part of the community that most of you are active members of, but also to get some of our part-time readers to really jump in and get the full Android Guys experience. Some select few of you did have a chance to see an Alpha version that got the job done, but you haven’t seen anything good until you see our latest version. The latest version is now fully operational with a completely redesigned look thanks to the acquisition of Raphael Savina’s impeccable design skills. Let me tell you about the features included in the most recent version of the app:
- Read Daily News from Android Guys
- Share articles with friends
- Listen to the most current and older Android Guys Podcast
- Weekly Polls from Android Guys
- Staff Application Picks, linking you directly to the Market
- Changeable themes and backgrounds
- Homescreen Widget to view the day’s top articles
The application is available to all from the Android Guys Google Code site for download. Please check the Google Code site often for updates, each version only lasts 15 days. Install the application to your phone via any method you deem easiest. You could send it as an attachment to yourself and use APKatcher to install it, use Astro File Manager, or ADB USB install for tech savvy users. Please use the “Report A Problem” button in the application Menu, or directly email myself the developer at the email address found below or on the Google Code site for any issues you may experience.
When it comes time for the application to be released to the Android Market, it will come in two forms. The first being a free version with minimal advertisements and without the homescreen widget. A PRO version will also be available at an insignificant price for those who do not want the advertisements, and the widget will come as a bonus.
So get a move on and try the app now!
