As a public service of sorts, I rounded-up the latest Android and iOS games that people should consider loading onto the devices they got for Christmas. Among them, my current favourites Infinity Blade II, Jetpack Joyride, and Where’s My Water. The full list ran in the Georgia Straight.

How many of you got a slick Android or iOS device for Christmas? Pretty much everyone is our guess. Flurry, in the business of mobile analytics, reported that in the week between December 25 and 31, 1.2 billion Android and iOS apps were downloaded. That includes 41 million downloads in Canada.
