One of the more welcome features of Android 4.4 KitKat would be its “immersive mode”. Basically what this does is that it hides the notification bar and the navigation panel as well, allowing users to enjoy apps full screen without any distractions, hence the the immersion into the app/game. Well the good news for Android gamers is that Gameloft, a developer of many popular mobile games, is considering adding immersive modes to its games in the future, thus taking advantage of the new immersive API that comes with Android 4.4 KitKat.
Gameloft has yet to confirm any of this, so don’t get your hopes up just yet, but we reckon it’s something worth looking forward to not just from Gameloft, but from other developers as well. It makes perfect sense for developers to take advantage of this API, but this would mean that big name developers such as Gameloft who have many titles under their name would have to update all their apps, which could take time. Not to mention this would require the gamer to own an Android 4.4 KitKat device, which at the moment aren’t that many yet.
Either way like we said this is something worth looking forward to in the future, but what do you guys think? Are you used to Android gaming the way it is, or would you prefer if developers were to take advantage of this feature?

Not every photo you take on your phone will be good. Many will be terrible. Until now, we’ve used filters in Instagram or Twitter to give these flops a little spunk. Well a new iOS app called Fragment takes a different approach to filters: Rather than adding a gauzy haze over your images, it shatters them.

The most important gift you give this holiday season will be the gift you give your sweetheart. After all, this is the person you get sex from.
That said, these are some cute last-minute ideas that will keep you out of the dog house come New Year’s Eve.
HBloom Subscriptions ($75/delivery)
HBloom is a creative flower delivery service that offers a wide range of products — these are the same folks that came up with the SuperHero package, which delivers flowers to a guy’s work so that he can be the one to give them to his sweetheart. Now, the company offers floral delivery subscriptions, with new arrangements arriving weekly, bi-weekly or monthly. All you do is meet up with a design consultant who checks out the space and learns about your tastes and the deliveries begin. Starts at $75 per delivery.
HowAboutWe Couples ($10/month)
HowAboutWe keeps the romance alive by offering up interesting date ideas based on your location. Awesomely enough, the service offers a $10/month membership for couples, which hooks you up with up to 75% off the dates, one free date, and access to sold out shows and booked clubs. There are some cute ideas on there, but the best idea of all is you showing your partner how important it is to go on special, interesting dates. You know, like you did when you first fell in love.
Couple (Free)
Ok, you caught me. This isn’t necessarily a gift because technically it’s free. However, signing up for Couple and inviting your partner to join you in your own private social network can be pretty romantic. Couple lets you chat, share pictures, drawings, and location, and it even lets you draw simultaneously in a live sketch. With the new foursquare integration, users can suggest date spots and the thumbkiss feature is cheesy but fun. The app automatically stores important dates for your partner and the relationship, like birthdays and anniversaries, and you can share lists to stay on top of things as a couple. Hey, some of the best things in life are free.
HelloTouch ($55)
Or you could spend $55 on a really, really fun night in the bedroom. The Jimmyjane HelloTouch vibrator may seem a bit awkward at first — after all, it is reminiscent of those Spider Man-style shooter toys you wear on your wrist. But once those finger pads get to buzzing it won’t seem so awkward anymore. The HelloTouch can be worn a few different ways so that everyone can enjoy, and it even comes in a Holiday package, including a stocking, handcuffs and a blindfold.
