Nothing is free these days and the world is admittedly getting harder and harder to survive in. That’s why the creators of Humble Bundle 6 are asking you to donate some money (any money) to help support the Child’s Play Charity and the Electronic Frontier Foundation, and in return you’ll get five cool games for your Android device. That’s not too much to ask, is it? Right now, the average donation is sitting at a measly $4.50, and if you match it, you get two extra games with your Humble Bundle 6 purchase; Broken Sword: Director’s Cut and Frozen Synapse. These two games join Aquaria, Fractal, Organ Trail: Directors Cut, Stealth Bastard Deluxe and Pulse with your purchase should you decide to break even. If you decide that the two extra’s aren’t worth it, you can just donate anything and enjoy your 5 new games. Humble Bundle was introduced in May 2010, and continues to support numerous charities worldwide. We dig that they’ve so far raised over $33 million to help causes that we ourselves would gladly support as well. Currently, Humble Bundle supports payment through PayPal, Amazon, Google Wallet and Bitcoin. As for the two charities your money will be going to, the first one (Child’s Play Charity) aims to help children who are in hospital with gifts of toys, books, and video games, to keep their spirits up and improve their living conditions away from home. The other charity (Electronic Frontier Foundation) aims to raise awareness about human speech and other such basic rights in the video game world. It looks like they have a few more quality games for all us Android fans. Find out more below!

Today the folks from Samsung have announced yet another Galaxy device, only this one isn’t a part of their growing Galaxy S4 lineup. The device is called the Samsung Galaxy Ring, and will be available exclusively from Virgin Mobile for those on a budget. The no-contract device has some decent specs too, so lets take a peek below. Virgin Mobile is pushing out this mid-range smartphone as a social circle device of choice for those wanting a great phone, good service, and a low price with no monthly contract. The Samsung Galaxy Ring is surprisingly half decent given the $179 price too. Here’s the full rundown on this device, which is actually available today. The Galaxy Ring will get you a 4-inch display of unknown resolution, a decent 1.4 GHz single-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor will also handle all the tasks. Their site says quad-core, but we’re being told this is a single-core budget device, which makes sense given the price. You’ll enjoy a 5 megapixel 720p video capable camera on the rear, and 1.3 front for self portraits. The device won’t enjoy any fast 4G LTE networks speeds and is 3G only, but you’ll be enjoying Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and a decent device with no annual contract. It comes pre-loaded with Swype for easy text input, and looks to be a decent and well-rounded phone for those on a budget. It’s available today from Virgin Mobile so head to the link below for additional details.

Well, one thing is for certain – Verizon and the @DroidLanding Twitter account are launching a new augmented reality contest that includes the DROID brand and a bunch of robots. A promo video for it all has been posted to Verizon’s YouTube channel, which we have included for you below. We still aren’t exactly sure how [...] Augmented Reality DROID Contest “D:COM”...

New versions of Android 4.3 have been spotted running on Nexus 4 and Nexus 7. Previously we have seen rumours and unconfirmed benchmarks running the newest version of Jelly Bean, but thanks to DoMiN8ToR at myce.com, the JWR66D (Nexus 7) and JWR53F (Nexus 4) builds of Android 4.3 have been seen in the wild. According to DoMiN8ToR, the “J” at the beginning of the build code designates that the build is of Jelly Bean origins and that the “R” specifies that the build is from the second quarter. Furthermore, the number in the build code is the n-th day of the quarter, placing these builds sometime between at the end of May and the beginning of June. Finally, the last letter of the code defines what build of the day it is i.e. D is the fourth, and F would be the sixth build of the day. I’m sure we’re all wondering when Android 4.3 is going to drop, but news like this further suggests that it will hopefully be very soon. Let us know what you think about this in the comments below.

There's a lot of speculation floating around right now about the "reactivation" of the DROID Landing Twitter account, which is typically used by Verizon to tease new DROID phones. Unfortunately, we're going to have to deflate some of that speculation. Here are the tweets from the account this afternoon: Reactivation protocols initiated ::: Systems nearing operational status ::: Stand by for further instructions... — DroidLanding (@DroidLanding) June 18, 2013 Augmented Reality imaging matrix is online ::: Scavenge mode detected… — DroidLanding (@DroidLanding) June 18, 2013 These messages seem basically without meaning taken by themselves, but there's more here than meets the eye.

Samsung is preparing their live promotional product introduction event for Thursday, and we’ll be there to cover it. If you don’t like having your news fed to you, and instead like to see it for yourself, you too can watch it via live stream on the Samsung site and on YouTube. Either way you enjoy it, you should be in for quite a show. Although the show in March was an absolute mad-fest (we’re still getting over how over the top it was) we expect this round to come off as more professional, open concept type affair. We could end up seeing some things we haven’t seen before in person (Did someone say Samsung NX Camera?) or we could end up seeing the same stuff we’ve already seen. It’s all a big surprise as of now. The event itself will be held in London at 7:00pm BST, and will include all of Samsung’s current lineup, as well as a massive entourage of accessories, live video promotions, and announcements. One thing we’re especially looking forward to is the opportunity to get hands on with some devices we haven’t been able to check out firsthand. These include the Galaxy S 4 Zoom, and hopefully (fingers crossed) the Tab 3. You can expect us to be there, and to come at you live from the event. We’ll also be heavily covering the Android side of things, but might mention some Windows ATIV stuff if they have Android bits. Either way, we’ll be weighing in on everything left and right, so you won’t want to miss it.

America's three best channels for wasting an evening have all just received Android streaming apps, with limited access to full episodes without any TV subscription necessary on all three.   That's right - you can get full streaming episodes of some shows without providing credentials of any kind, though subscribers of Comcast and DirecTV will receive a larger pool of content to choose from than those who choose not to log in. I tried out the History Channel app, and everything seems to be in working order. Unfortunately, the selection of shows isn't complete. Even after logging in, the most Top Gear USA content I could get came in the form of episode clips, as opposed to full-length features. Done With This Post?

Minuum Keyboard launched an IndieGoGo campaign back in March, and by the time it was over in April, the developers had raised almost $90,000. That's 873% of the goal. It was a big vote of confidence from Android users, but Minuum promised something unique – a keyboard that takes up only a tiny strip of screen real estate, yet still provides all the functionality you need. It sounds crazy on the face of it, but what if it's not just smoke and mirrors? The beta app has been launched for IndieGoGo backers in Google Play, exactly as promised. Let's see if it lives up to the hype. Done With This Post?

In the last few years, wireless speakers have exploded onto the scene with prices ranging from sub-$100 utility speakers up to a few thousand dollars for large home theater packages. A fairly new competitor, Wren, is trying to place itself in the ever more lucrative high-end bookshelf market. With a lineup of 3 wireless speakers priced at $399 each, the company is trying to take some attention away from the current leader, Sonos. Having spent a bit of time with the V5PF, the model intended for use with Android devices, I'm definitely impressed with the quality and looks, but the control app turned out to be a disappointment in an otherwise fantastic package.

Looks like Droidgamers called it; sure, they weren’t quite as accurate as the previous Humble Bundle, but the fact that they guessed that Frozen Synapse Android was delayed because of it was a good pick. And so without further ado, Humble Bundle With Android 6 is here, featuring some great games for both PC and Android. Of note in the bundle is the Android release of Frozen Synapse which has been absent without leave for some time even after Mode 7 claimed it would be out by the end of May. The bundle will nominally include: Aquaria Fractal Organ Trail: Director’s Cut Stealth Bastard Deluxe Pulse And of course, if you pay more than the average price, which at the time of writing is $4.70, you will also get Broken Sword: Director’s Cut and Frozen Synapse.
