Official Gameloft LIVE! app made available on Android Marketplace
I have to hand it to Gameloft for their continued support of their Gameloft LIVE! service even after Game Center’s release and domination on the iOS platform. Although, some times I find it to be somewhat annoying that all of my hard earned Gameloft LIVE! achievements scores are most likely going unnoticed since not everyone checks their Gameloft LIVE! profile as much as their Game Center profile.

Google Voice for Android updated with ICS-style look and feel, asynchronous SMS sending
Google Voice for Android got a small update and now the application looks like it’s tailor-made for the latest version of the platform – Ice Cream Sandwich.
