Quick Post
It has been a few months since I have updated this page, life has been busy and I haven’t been doing too much work with Android. But I did notice something that I thought was interesting, this morning when I logged into my android developer console to check on my download numbers and sales I [...]
The Benefits of an Open Market
The Android Market is an Open Market, at least in the sense that anyone can publish apps to the market after paying their $25 registration fee. Once a publisher has joined the market they can upload apps that are available to users within 5 minutes. This is great when compared to the process of that [...]
Over 2 millions downloads :)
Just a quick update,
According to the download numbers on my Android Developers Console the total download count between the 11 apps that I have published on the Android Market now total 2015762
downloads. BreakTheBlocks Lite leads the pack with 1.3 million downloads and PingPong Lite is the runner up with nearly 600k downloads.
2 million is a [...]
Square Moto…
So BGR and Gizmodo picked up on a leak over at DroidDog of the above picture. The original post at DroidDog asks “Is the square Motowhat for real?”.
As a developer of Android games here is my reaction.
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD NO!
Looks like there is another screen resolution that I am going to have to [...]
iPhone 4.0
This isn’t really a post about Android, it is really just a mini rant about some of my opinions on a few of Apples announcements yesterday.

I attribute the success of BreakTheBlocks and WordWrench to the fact that I was the first developer to bring what I consider to be worthwhile versions of the games to the market. I published free (read Lite) versions of both games before you could [...]
Device Seeding Yay!
So I received my free Nexus One from Google 2 days ago. I received this as part of their Device Seeding Program for Top Android Market Developers, unfortunately I already have a Nexus one that I enjoy very much. So I figured I would try and sell this new Nexus One on eBay, I have [...]
Replica Island

Cancellations Blah
Just wanted to post a quick note that some people may be curious about. About 20% of all orders I receive are canceled. Yup, 1 out of every 5 at least. I don’t fully understand why considering I have rather functional free versions of my games, but I still see cancellations quite often. I am [...]
