The “sweetest” game in the world, Candy Crush, will soon make its way across a slew of Kindle Fire devices, where among them would include the recently announced Kindle Fire HDX that was unveiled to the world at the end of last month. In other words, ladies and gentlemen, Candy Crush Saga is finally on the Amazon Appstore. It will arrive as a free download of course, where this is set to happen in selected territories today followed by a worldwide release this coming October 17th across a range of Kindle Fire devices.
Just how popular is Candy Crush Saga at the moment? It happens to be one of the most irresistible games worldwide at the moment, where there are more than 53 million daily players – at least according to AppData’s report which is accurate as at September this year. There are more than 400 challenging levels for one to enjoy, and players can seamlessly synchronize their progression regardless of which device that they are playing on using Facebook.
Tommy Palm, Games Guru at King, shared, “We’ve had such positive feedback from players regarding King’s first Kindle Fire title, Bubble Witch Saga, that we now feel the time is right to bring Candy Crush Saga to Kindle Fire fans. The Kindle Fire is a great device with which to enjoy the Candy Crush Saga gameplay and, with levels regularly added by the King team, we hope to keep Kindle Fire owners entertained every day.”

It does seem as though Rovio will no longer be able to escape the “gravitational pull” of their Angry Birds franchise, as anything else that they roll out will not matter all that much. You could more or less say that they are a victim of their own success in this case, and this time around, we have the announcement of Angry Birds Go! – coupled with its licensing partners. The Angry Birds Go! game will launch this coming December 11th, with the countdown app released on this coming October 31st.
Just what is Angry Birds Go! all about? For starters, it will invite players regardless of their age to join the birds as they start to make their way downhill in karts. These will be new elements in the Angry Birds franchise that should open up the doors to extra opportunities for innovative product lines, reaching out across multiple consumer products categories to boot. For starters, the Angry Birds Go! game will also feature Hasbro’s TELEPODS, so that players are able to take advantage of it to “teleport” new karts into the game so that they have an edge over the competition.
Do you think that the Angry Birds franchise is about to run out of steam pretty soon, or will it still go on strong three decades down the road just like how Star Wars simply refuses to clock out?

Nike doesn’t just have a new Nike+ FuelBand SE today, it also has launched the Fuel Lab, designed to boost use of the fitness wearable’s APIs. The scheme will see Nike pick ten partner companies and set them up in a San Francisco workspace with a $50,000 budget apiece, with the goal being a launch […]
It was more than a week ago when we mentioned that this October 15th might see the possible announcement of something that has to do with FuelBand, and I guess all of those rumors have proven to be correct. Here we are, with the calendar showing off October 15th as the current date, and Nike has already announced the Nike+ FuelBand SE, which would be the company’s most recent fitness-oriented wearable device.
The Nike+ FuelBand SE happens to be a refreshed version of its predecessor, and you could more or less say that the styling cues of it also cuts close to the original, although this time around, it arrives in black with total crimson (a mixture of orange and red), pink foil or volt (a yellow and green-like neon) accents. It does seem as though the folks over at Nike do hope to ensure that FuelBand users will be able to move about even more throughout the day while wearing the Nike+ FuelBand SE, courtesy of some changes made to how the Fuel is tracked. For instance, the new unit is capable of identifying actual movement better, instead of counting some of the other parameters such as ambiguous wrist flicks. Not only that, there will be better flexibility and weather sealing, hourly reminders so that you will be able to get up and moving, Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity, and a double-tap function so that the home button can bring up the current time.

Sony has recently announced that their SmartWatch 2 has just rolled out in the US, where it will carry an official price tag of $199.95 a pop. This particular timepiece (and a smart one at that) will be made available at online direct from the Sony Store, although one ought to take note that other online retailers, too, will carry this particular smartphone as well. Among the key features of the Sony SmartWatch 2 would be a display that can be read under bright sunlight, in addition to the ability to pair it up with other Android-powered devices (smartphones or tablets, it does not really matter) as long as they are powered by Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich or newer.
Which is a good thing, of course, especially when you consider that the Samsung Galaxy Gear, which retails for a whopping $300 in comparison, will need Android 4.3 Jelly Bean at the very least. This particular smart timepiece from Sony will support one-touch NFC pairing to Android smartphones, so that users are able to check out text messages, calendar events, their Gmail account, Facebook updates, and Twitter, among others. The SmartWatch 2 will be water resistant as it sports an IP57 rating, in addition to multiple strap options that include stainless steel, brown leather, black leather, and five silicon colors. The power efficient processor underneath the hood is the one that allows the Sony SmartWatch 2 to run for up to 4 days (according to Sony) under normal usage conditions on a single charge, now how about that?
