The all-new Nook (aka the Nook Touch) is Barnes & Noble’s follow-up to their successful e-reader of the same name, which for months served as the Kindle’s primary competitor. BN, of course, also has the Nook Color, an intriguing e-reader/tablet hybrid running Android that is pretty much universally accepted as the most affordable way to get yourself and Android tablet. As such, the newly released Nook Touch should be seen as a competitor to the original Nook, not the Nook Color as it’s designed to perform one function really well: to serve as an e-reader.

Here’s an interesting little addition to the Android Market for developers: You can now upload multiple APK files for a single listing. That is, you can have one app name (and one package name), with multiple versions of the app file. Why do that? A dev could have one APK for tablets, and another for smartphones. Or one for one screen size, and one for another screen size. The Market keeps all of the same listing information — screen shots, description, comments, etc. — and aggregates stats and billing.

If you’re a fan of farming games, you’ll be glad to hear that Green Farm by Gameloft is now available in the Android Market. That’s right, you can raise crops, trees, and livestock, earn coins to buy seeds, animals, and buildings and even learn to make cheese or become a carpenter, all without getting your hands dirty. (Note to Green Farm online players: This farm doesn’t connect to your online farm, but you can build a new one on your mobile device.) You can grab Green Farm free in the Android Market, download links are after the break.

If you’re headed to the San Diego Comic-Con you’ll want to be on the look out for these awesome little fellas. Customized from the Android collectible series these bugdroids are just hanging out waiting to be scooped up and brought home — although, you’d have to be pretty hard core to lay down $100 for one, but I have no room to talk on that matter since I have quite a few of the originals around my place.

Sure, this may seem like a very basic post, and everyone thinks they know to just pull the battery door off then yank the battery out, but is that really the best way to go about it? Simply put, no. You never want to just pull the battery out of any electronic device that is running, unless of course it is a BlackBerry, then you may be required to do so daily. (Zing!) What is the proper way to do this you may be wondering, so let’s take a look real quick.

Better not let ol’ Lloyd hear about this — the loveable Om Nom from Cut the Rope is getting his … erm, its … own digital comic series. If you’ve yet to play Cut the Rope, the premise is you have to get dangling candies into Om Nom’s mouth. And it can be surprisingly difficult to do so.

Already checked out the latest news and rumors in the blogs, and wondering what to do now? Have you checked out the Android Central forums yet today? If not, now’s as good a time as any. Check out some of threads below to help get you started:

Rogers has been on a roll as of late when it comes to updating their Android line-up of devices. Last night in Toronto they held the launch party for the Samsung Infuse 4G and today, Future Shop has outed the pricing of the soon-to-be released device. $149 is what you’ll be looking at should you decide to agree to a new 3-year contract but if contracts aren’t really your thing, then you’ll be looking to hand over $550.  That said; keep in mind the Samsung Galaxy S II is starting to arrive at Bell and Virgin Mobile retail shops all across Canada and only costs $50 more off contract.

If you’ve been holding off picking up an Android tablet simply due to cost then Staples wants your business. To entice you, they’re now offering $100 off select tablet purchases with the coupon above. You’ll need to print it off in order to use it but that’s the easy part — the hard part? Selecting what tablet you’ll be buying. The coupon is valid through 7/30/11 at Staples locations across the U.S. with the Nook being the only Android tablet excluded.
