Gameloft’s Try & Buy for Android: how to
Some people were a little upset to learn that Gameloft was releasing Android games but only making them available in their own web store – aside from Asphalt HD, which sells for $4.99 in the Market. I can’t think of any other category of app (hi quality 3D games) that might be more tempting for hackers to pirate, but it’s not clear if copy protection is the reason Gameloft chose this route. Whatever the case, the game company has updated it’s model, allowing users to download demo versions of their apps from their store, and, as has been the case for some time, bill any purchases to a carrier. The primary difference here is that the process is much less of a hassle and doesn’t require any text message verification. Check out the how-to video blow, followed by a spot pimping available games:

OK seriously, I'm even more frustrated with Gameloft and their apathy towards Android after watching the top video. The first part of the video lists a bunch of Android phones. HTC Incredible, Motorola Droid X, Samsung Vibrant, etc.Well, at the bottom they list the "HTC Epic 4G." Um no. Total fail Gameloft. It's the Samsung Epic 4G. Made by Samsung, not HTC. Might seem like a minor typo, but this is a minute and a half promo video to promote and inform the public about their Android games line up. Typos, particularly glaring mistakes like this, should never happen. The video undoubtedly went through at least several people during production and nobody caught this mistake?Obviously Gameloft could care less.
