Android Market now shows version numbers in reviews

The Android Market just got a new trick to make reviews more useful. Now, reviews have extra information to help users figure out what reviews are most relevant to them with device and app version numbers.

Android Market now shows version numbers in reviews
Of couse, the iTunes App Store has been putting app versions with reviews for a while, and even better, it offers options to see only reviews for the newest version of the app. Unfortunately, while the Android Market now has device names and app version numbers on each review, there are no sorting options to go along with the new information. We'd love to be able to see only reviews that match devices associated with our Google accounts, but maybe that's next up on Google's plan for the Market.

Still, this is a nice addition, and shows that Google is keeping up the pace on adding features to the Market. It'll be nice to be able to make sure the info is the most relevant by matching the app version with what you're using.

Rockstar bringing GTA3 Anniversary Edition to select Android and iOS devices next week

Rockstar Games wants to celebrate the 10th anniversary of their sales-record-shattering game in style, so they will be releasing an Anniversary Edition Grand Theft Auto III game to Apple and Android devices. Or at least those powerful enough to power through Liberty City in style.

The game will be released to the respective app stores on the 15th for $4.99. For fans of fruit-flavored mobile devices,GTA III will run on Apple’s iPad and iPad2, along with the iPhone 4 and 4S. It will also run on 4th generation iPod Touch PMPs. For those who prefer the robot-themed OS, you can run the game on most Android tablets, along with dual-core Android handsets. A full list of devices (which is being updated) can be found in the source list.

This will apparently be the entire GTA III game, not a “lite” version stripped down to fit on your phone. Rockstar said they will be providing a new trailer next week, to coincide with the release of the game into the app markets.

Anyone looking forward to picking this up and spending countless hours this holiday season jabbing your fingers at a touch-screen device?
