Today Google released a minor update to its Gmail app for Android. There’s not a lot in the update, but Google has added a handy feature that allows you to reply to and archive emails from the notifications menu. Simply tap on an unread email’s notification to reply or archive. The feature is pretty limited unfortunately, as you can only reply or archive when exactly one email is displayed in Android’s notifications menu. It doesn’t work with a list of unread emails, which seems pretty self-defeating.

“The new app also introduces faster search and better search suggestions so you can find your messages quickly online and offline,” according to Google.

A few days ago we told you that Spelltower was headed to Android. The word game made a huge splash in the iOS App Store, and now it has made its way to Google Play.

If you’ve never played Spelltower, you’re in for a treat. It’s like Scrabble with some unique twists. There’s multiplayer support over WiFi. 1,800 Android devices are supported, including the Kindle.

Yesterday the latest version of Temple Run launched in Apple’s App Store, and now the new game has arrived for Android in Google Play. Temple Run: Oz is a collaboration between Disney and Imangi Studios that’s made for the coinciding release of the film Oz the Great and Powerful.

The gameplay basics are the same as the classic Temple Run you know and love, but the levels are totally new with flying baboons and hot air balloons.

Bye bye, TweetDeck mobile, we hardly knew ye.

Twitter, the social networking company, purchased TweetDeck, the Twitter application company, back in May of 2011. Today, the Twitter-owned TweetDeck announced that it was discontinuing support for the venerable stand-alone Twitter clients on Android, iOS, and desktop computers via Adobe AIR, ostensibly to concentrate on the TweetDeck web experience.

While many current users of the clients may disagree, Twitter feels that its user base is both better served on the web, and that the decision mirrors the real-time activity of those very same TweetDeck customers.

Now with more green robots!

If you’ve played SpellTower on iOS, you’ll know what a big deal this is. Zach Gage’s utterly unique and addictive take on word game play will launch on the Google Play Store this Thursday, March 7, 2013.
