This Week at 148 Apps, November 21-25

This week at 148Apps.com was all about the US celebration of Thanksgiving, and the inevitable retail aftermath known as Black Friday. Rather than fight the crowds, 148Apps founder Jeff Scott put together a comprehensive Black Friday app sale list that continues to grow, and grow and grow. Scott says, “App sales are nothing new, but the biggest of the year is here, and we’ll be tracking the best of the sale apps right here. Expect lots of updates over the weekend.”

Take a look at the full list on 148Apps.

Jeff Scott also invited faithful 148Apps.biz readers to attend the upcoming AppNation III conference, saying, “Want to attend AppNation III? 148Apps network readers can get a 30% discount on the registration fee by using code 148APPS on the registration page.”

Meanwhile, at AndroidRundown, site editor Rob LeFebvre celebrated the release of Disney interactive’s Where’s My Water? for the Android platform. LeFebvre writes, “Android has been part of the plan since the development of Where’s My Water? for the iPhone crowd. In fact, the game was originally developed with C++, to make it easier to port to Android. The challenge, he said, is making sure the game is the same high quality experience across the myriad devices represented by Google’s hip operating system.”

Finally, on our parent-friendly GiggleApps site, Amy Solomon reviewed Don’t Let The Pigeon Run This App! Solomon writes, “I love these books. Pigeon can be cheeky, and my son has used pigeons’s one-liners, such as offering to “Give you five bucks” himself to try to stay up late. For this reason, some parents may feel that this pigeon is a bad influence on children, but I love the idea of my son practicing his ability to say “no” to this scheming pigeon as I want him to be prepared to stand his ground later in life when he is confronted by peer pressure, and I want him to recognize when he is being manipulated.”

For 43 episodes, this podcast has been providing interviews with developers of iPhone games, and discussions with members of the gaming media about big issues in the iPhone world. Hosted by Carter Dotson, the show aims for relatively short form 30-40 minute episodes, trying to keep a light tone while providing intelligent discussion of the mobile gaming world’s biggest issues.

Oh Comic-Con, I miss you. Well, everything but my eyes do. Those things were scared after they learned there were geeks willing to harm them for getting uppity about a seat.

    BLACKOUT! Review

    BLACKOUT! Review

    iPhone App - Designed for the iPhone, compatible with the iPad
    BLACKOUT! is a fantastic foray into my least favorite genre. Somehow, some way, Disney Interactive made a match 3 game that I absolutely can't put down.
