I play a lot of games on my Android, but one that I wish they had was a real money Holdem app. Sure you can play for fun with other various apps, but it’s just not the same. The United States took the fun of online card playing. Other companies have released iPhone and Android apps for countries like Italy, but there will of course never be one for the United States.

Many companies have a real money iPhone application, but of course opted out of giving it to United States users for obvious reasons. Major websites like partypoker have free apps that you can play for fun. It’s always nice to pick up a play money game while taking a break from work.

There are some pretty cool gaming apps available now a days. Some companies combine card playing with social media and make amazing apps. If your Android smart phone has a front facing camera you can add a whole new layer of realism to the game. You can see what other people are doing live – and those people can see you as well.

These new social gaming companies are combining card playing with social media. Live chats, web cams, and more are connecting you to worldwide players like never before. Instead of having a Saturday night game in real life, you can do it virtually with web cams. Invite people worldwide to boost your player count and have weekly tournaments – all over your Android based smart phone!

Technology is improving the way we game incrementally. Taking advantage of Android’s powerful features and mixing in your favorite games, social gaming is definitely the future.

Now, its not only is the PC version of the indie game Minecraft that is crowned with amazing success. The Pocket Edition for Apple iOS and Android sells very well. Since the release last year, the mobile edition of the game has found more than 700,000 buyers.

Minecraft has made the leap successful from PC to mobile devices. Since October, the game has been available for the Android operating system and since November for Apple’s IOS. Since then, the sandbox game has sold over hundereds of thousands of copies. That’s plenty of sales, sure, but not the 4 million sales of the PC-version is approaching, but does prove porting to mobile devices can bring great success.

Mojangs Business Developer Daniel Kaplan says up to 5,000 units sold during the first release day. An update to the Pocket Edition is scheduled for February 8, which was recently announced on the official blog of the developer Mojang. In this update, gamers get the games Survival elements as well as the ability to use custom Minecraft world seeds. The developers also want to integrate new animals and monsters into Minecraft pocket edition. I recommend this version to anyone who already loves Minecraft or is looking for a new mobile gaming challenge.
