Originally released for desktop computers in the 1990s, and under the longer title of Logical Journey of the Zoombinis, Zoombinis has now been released onto Google Play, for tablets (though I did have the option to purchase the game from my 2014 Moto X).
\r\n\r\nIn this game, the blueberry-like Zoombinis are in search for a new home as they're no longer safe in their current one, having come under threat and imprisonment by the evil Bloats. Players will be tasked with the mission of getting them there, and will new required to solve the dozen puzzles that will prove prohibitive to that end. For example, hungry trolls will obstruct the path, and will only move when their hunger is sated by pizza made exactly to their liking.
\r\nZoombini Featuring:
•Beautiful new digitally painted backgrounds
•The original voices for the Narrator, Stone Guards, Pizza Trolls, Captain Cajun, and the Innkeeper
•Restored music from version 1 of the original game
•Improved celebrations and achievements
This game is said to be for ages number and up, and is also \"edutainment\". The games is available from Google Play for a flat $4.99, and coming later to the Kindle Fire.

With Vainglory having been out now for a few weeks, we swung by the Twitch booth to meet up with Super Evil Megacorp, the developers behind the mobile MOBA game Vainglory. We sat down to talk with them to see how the game has been doing since its launch onto Android, and what future plans they may have for Vainglory in general.
\r\n\r\nSince the release of Vainglory onto Android, the game sees around 1 million players on average playing this game, with 10% of those players also watching professional eSport Vainglory matches on Twitch. From the sounds of things, the eSports scene for Vainglory is starting to pick up, with one team earlier this week becoming the first sponsored Vainglory team. They were signed by Mobcrush, who is now the first official sponsor for a Vainglory team. We don't have the details regarding that sponsorship since they are being kept private which isn't unusual at all.
\r\n\r\nWe have always expected mobile eSports to pick up, and now it looks like it finally is happening. Vainglory recently had a tournament in Korea where they flew in a bunch of pro players for all over the world which was aired on Twitch as well. All of this eSports information leads us into one thing Super Evil Megacorp is looking into as a possible future project for Vainglory, and that is a PC client for spectating.
\r\nThe developers are considering making a full client for PC for spectating matches. This would obviously be used for eSports broadcasting but technically anyone could use it to watch matches on their PC. The client won't be for anything related to actually playing the game, as they want to keep Vainglory a pure mobile MOBA. Voice chat is also something Super Evil Megacorp is considering adding to Vainglory, although interestingly enough players have been giving them mixed feedback on the idea.
\r\n\r\nOne of the big feedbacks they've had from players was that the game feels very slow in regards to the movement speed, but this is mostly because of the camera zoom. The developers are looking into improving that. Their plan overall is to continue updating the game, improving it, with updates every 4/5 weeks. Unfortunately they wouldn't go into any deeper details about future updates outside of the above mentioned features.

Another long design test appears to be drawing to a close for Google. After apparently beginning a wider rollout for the new mobile search UI (in testing since April), it seems that Google is making the revised image results UI final too.
This layout has been popping up since at least May, with a brighter, more crisp interface that offers more iconography, refined typography, and - yes - a section for related images.

Redmond may be riding high on some well-deserved positive press after the launch of Windows 10, but the various developer teams are still going full steam with diverse support for other platforms. Microsoft has released more apps for Android than anyone might have expected from an erstwhile competitor, and it continues to improve them. Today the note syncing app OneNote get some notable improvements, specifically by requiring one less app.
Previously Microsoft released a stand-alone Android Wear app for OneNote, which allowed users to view notes on their watches and create new ones with a voice command.

It would appear that LMY48I (which has a fix for Stagefright) is wreaking havoc on Nexus 6 phones with T-Mobile USA SIM cards. The phone simply refuses to connect to the cellular network, and thus calls and text messages are out the window. This issue seems to mainly be affecting people who upgraded from LYZ28E (T-Mobile USA's unique build with Wi-Fi calling) to LMY48I by flashing factory images. This likely has to do with the fact that the Wi-Fi calling-enabled radio firmware used in the LYZ28E build is quite a bit different than the \"standard\" radio firmware used in the more mainstream LMY47Z build.

While we await the stream of OTAs that are sure to follow, there's a fresh code drop to the Android Open Source Project containing security-related patches. Don't expect to see any new features or user-facing changes, this one is all about closing loopholes.

Google announced the Stagefright vulnerability fix would start rolling out as an OTA today, but it has also added new factory images to the Nexus developer pages. That means bootloader unlocked Nexus phones and tablets can flash the new build immediately, even if your device is running some wacky ROM.
All the new images have the same build number (LMY48I), which is what Sprint listed as the Stagefright fix for the Nexus 5 and 6 this morning.

Yesterday we reported that AT&T's U-verse cable streaming app was updated with new channels for users. Apparently that wasn't true for the tablet version of the app, a separate listing on the Play Store. Instead, tablet users were given the following message in the changelog, with a link to the previously mentioned \"phone\" app:
WHAT'S NEW
This application is expriring [sic]. Please upgrade @ https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.att.android.uverse .
It looks like the U-verse Android developers are getting with the times (if by \"times\" you mean circa fall 2011) and making the original app compatible with both phones and tablets.
