We love Wind-Up Knight, there’s little other way of saying it. While not everyone is a fan of it’s pricing structure, no-one can deny that it has been gaining massive recognition since its release. 

Press images of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus with Verizon branding have been found in the source of the coming soon page on Verizon’s website.  Things look very similar to the current GSM Galaxy Nexus, (check out our review) and chances are without them side by side one would never be able to tell if it weren’t for the Verizon 4G logo on the back.  Before anyone gets too excited, there’s no new rumored released date attached to this post.  The files were embedded in the resources of a Flash animation, and Ytram from AndroidForums dug them out. 

If you’re using a phone or tablet with a Tegra chip inside it, you’ll want to check out Zen Pinball THD, which hit the Android Market today.  It’s a great game, using advanced physics for ball movement, has great tables included — Marvel’s Fantastic Four table is really, really, cool — and includes multiplayer mode.  All for free.  To top it off, it’s even OpenFeint-enabled for those who like a bit of competition in their mobile gaming.  We’ve been fooling with the press demos, and it’s a very well done piece of work.  Gameplay is fast, realistic, and beautiful.  Any pinball fan or mobile gamer should enjoy this one, and with the free price tag there’s no reason not to try it.  Hit the break for the download link and the gameplay trailer.

The promised volume bug fix for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus is now rolling out over-the-air, with multiple Nexus owners reporting that updated software has arrived on their handsets. The OTA package weighs a little under 1MB, and updates the Nexus from build ITL41D to ITL41F, while the Android version remains at 4.0.1. So far it seems that the update contains only the volume bug fix, and that there are no other goodies hiding inside.

Gameloft has released a free version of its popular UNO app for Android, which is now available in the Android Market. For those of you who can’t remember your childhood, UNO is the extremely addictive card game that matches numbers and colors until the winner is left with a single winning card. UNO for Android supports multiplayer matchups via online pairing or locally through Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, and is compatable with all versions of Android, including Honeycomb. Keep in mind that the free pricetag comes with embedded ads, so the $2.99 ad-free version is still available. Hit the break to download.

There’s no doubt that HTC is getting behind Beats Audio in a big way. This summer the manufacturer ponied up $300 million for a 51 percent stake in Beats, and since then it’s been quick to bring to market phones like the Sensation XE and Rezound, which include Beats earphones in the box and a Beats-optimized music player. The latest phone to launch in Europe with Beats support is the Sensation XL. Originally unveiled at a glitzy event in London back in October, the 4.7-inch XL is pitched as the first European phone designed from the ground up around Beats Audio.
