And even those aren't the most mind-blowing or best mobile games available. In this video, we show off some of ...

While it's not the full version of the game, Angry Birds Lite Beta is now available in the Android Market. This game pits you, a slingshot, and a handful of angry birds against various obstacles. Your goal is to use your trigonometry skills to shoot the birds via the slingshot into the obstacles, and obliterate the other side. It's morbidly addictive -- and a lot cooler than I make it out to be. When you head to the Market, you'll want to look for "Angry Birds Lite Beta" by "Rovio Mobile". It's free. I mention this because there are similarly named apps that aren't free... and aren't this ...

Now I'd like to tell you why it is the EVO 4G that can be found in my pocket each day. As someone who has a huge weakness for anything new in the tech world, I've owned many phones over the past few years. Some of these devices were mine only for a very brief period. I found myself switching phones every month or two, until I landed on the iPhone. However, I recently left the iPhone behind so that I could enter the Android world. This transition has ...
