The Humble Mobile Bundle is a sure-fire way to grab some great titles at a really steep discount all while supporting developers and charity. The most recent Humble Mobile Bundle, which is number 12 for those of you keeping track at home, brings along the usual great titles for a super cheap price, mixed with a few more even greater titles if you beat the current average. At the time of writing this average donation is sitting at $3.86. Anything less than $3.86 will net you The Last Express, Spaceteam (Premium) and Tilt to Live: 2 Redonkulous.
If you shell out just a bit more you will also get your hands on Monument Valley, Blek, Joe Danger and whatever else the Humble Bundle crew has in store later on in the bundle. If you consider that Monument Valley alone is $3.99 on the Play Store, you are already able to see the benefit of the package. That title alone is worth tossing $4 at the developers and a charity. So grab your debit/credit card and get over to the Humble Mobile Bundle 12 promo and pick them up now.

Grab six great Android games from the latest Humble Bundle
The latest Humble Bundle for Android is officially live, and there are several fantastic games supporting it. You’ll be able to pay whatever you’d like for access to The Last Express, Spaceteam, and Tilt to Live 2, with the option to adjust how much of your purchase price gets donated to the developers, Humble, and charity.
If you pay more than the average, which is currently sitting at $3.85, you’ll also get Monument Valley, Blek, Joe Danger. Definitely not a bad deal considering the price of some of those games by themselves. Paying more than the average also locks you into access to whatever games get added to this bundle later, and knowing the typical Humble Bundle, they’re probably going to add some great stuff.

Android distribution numbers show Lollipop nearly breaking the 10% barrier
The latest Android distribution numbers for the month are in, and it looks like Lollipop has taken a massive jump thanks to the release of some high profile devices running 5.0 right out of the box. Android 5.0 captured 9% of the market share, although Android 5.1 only snagged 0.7%, a side effect of how many phones shipped with older software over the past month.
KitKat and Jelly Bean are still pretty dominant, with 4.4 making up 39.8% of Android devices and the multitude of Jelly Bean versions capturing a similar 39.2%. These numbers are down only a few percentage points from last month.
Ice Cream Sandwich accounted for just a little over 5% of devices, getting beaten out by Gingerbread’s 5.7% of the market. Apparently, there are still quite a few people refusing to give up their Gingerbread devices.
On the bright side, at least Froyo is almost gone.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 rumored to arrive in June
There is little denying that the Samsung Galaxy Tab S set new standards for Samsung’s tablet line-up. With the best display they had ever put onto a tablet and coming with features that debuted on the Galaxy S5, such as Ultra Power Saving Mode, Samsung had put out a direct competitor to Apple’s iPad, while making it thinner and lighter as well. It was a great tablet and the start of something awesome. And now Samsung is ready to do it again.
Rumors have been surfacing for a while concerning Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S2 and according to Sammobile, the new line-up will be announced in June. Based on prior rumors, the Tab S2 is said to feature a 64-bit Exynos processor, 3GB RAM, 32GB on-board storage, a microSD card, and two different display sizes, 8 or 9.7-inches.

It is unknown if the tablet will support wireless charging and some of the other goodies from the Galaxy S6, but with any luck, we will see Samsung’s stripped down version of Touchwiz. As for design, the Samsung tablet is expected to offer a metallic frame and an even thinner design than last year’s model.
Of course none of this is set in stone, so we’d take the entire rumor with a grain of salt for now. What do you think, excited for a next-gen Samsung Galaxy Tab S2? What kind of specs are you hoping to see?
NYT: New Apple TV will get a new, bigger remote
Tired of losing your Apple TV’s slim remote in the couch cushions? The New York Times reports that an updated version of the device will finally get a redesigned remote. The new control is described as being thicker, while also adding a touchpad for scrolling around, adding up to a size that’s similar to the remote Amazon ships with its Echo wireless speaker. The Apple TV remote achieves the goal of stripping out everything it can for a minimalist design — that’s a launch unit from 2007 pictured above, you can take a peek at the current model after the break — but with the number of apps and options available, it could probably use another button or two. Rumors have indicated the new model will arrive during Apple’s WWDC event packing an app store and internet TV subscription packages, which probably also plays into any design changes.

PlayStation Now’s game streaming subscription hits PS3
It was easy to scoff at Sony when the electronics giant said it had a 10 year plan for the PlayStation 3, but here we are almost a decade later and it’s still supporting the console. Case in point: the firm’s announced that it’s bringing subscriptions for the PlayStation Now game-streaming service to Blu-ray’s trojan horse. It all starts on May 12th, and beyond that a handful of new games are hitting the service too. They include F1 2014 , Farming Simulator and the ever-so-charming Fat Princess (that’s an awful lot of “F” games now that I think about it), bringing total number of streaming titles to around 100.
Sony says that subscriptions are coming to even more devices too. So, at this point is $20 a month to stream an “unlimited” amount of games on an additional platform enough for you to pull the trigger? If not, what would it take? Let us know in the comments.

Gaming legend Sid Meier auctions his SNES kit for charity
Want a rare piece of video gaming history? We hope you’re a quick-draw bidder. Legendary game developer Sid Meier is holding a charity auction for a Super NES developer kit (which is hard to find by itself) used during his MicroProse days. Yes, there’s a real chance that you could be using a system that helped build an early console version of Civilization. Don’t think that you can just take on some credit card debt to get that nostalgia kick, though. Meier is only selling the kit to trustworthy eBay users with verified PayPal accounts, and bidding starts at $5,999 — it’s worthwhile if you want to help St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, but you’re paying for a lot more than someone’s second-hand console.

Remote for Next-Generation Apple TV to Include ‘Touch Pad’ for Scrolling
Apple’s next-generation Apple TV will include a new touch-based remote with a revamped design, reports The New York Times, citing sources with knowledge of Apple’s plans. Described as being “slightly thicker” than the current version, the new Apple TV remote will gain a “touch pad” that will be used for scrolling, along with two physical buttons.
The touch pad will likely replace the circular click-wheel style control that’s on the existing remote, giving users an easier way to scroll through content on the Apple TV. Currently, navigating through content on a channel like Netflix with the Apple TV remote requires users to click multiple times on the click wheel.
A touch-based control area on the remote would likely function similarly to the Apple Remote apps on the iPhone and the Apple Watch, allowing for swipe-based controls for scrolling through content available on the Apple TV. Using the Apple Watch or the iPhone to browse channels and make selections on the existing Apple TV is both quicker and easier than using the current physical remote.
Size wise, The New York Times’ source says the new remote will be similar in design to the remote control for the Amazon Echo speaker system, which is approximately 0.6 inches thick. The current Apple TV remote is 0.2 inches thick and has not seen a redesign since the Apple TV initially debuted in 2007.
Rumors have suggested that Apple’s redesigned Apple TV could make an appearance in June, at the annual Worldwide Developers Conference. Along with today’s rumor pointing towards a new design for the remote, previous rumors have indicated the device will include an A8 processor, Siri integration, a dedicated App Store, and expanded internal storage.
Apple is also rumored to be working on an accompanying Internet-based television service, which may see it providing between 20 and 30 channels at a price of $30 to $40 per month.
Deal: Moto X (2014) on sale tomorrow for as low as $350
The Motorola Moto X (2014) is now well over a half year old and is no doubt starting to struggle for attention from new consumers, especially as 2015 flagships begin to flood the market, namely the LG G4, Samsung Galaxy S6/edge, and HTC One M9.
We’ve seen Motorola put its current flagship on sale more than once, in hopes of luring new customers looking for a bargain. With that in mind, Motorola is slashing prices once again, bringing down the price by $225, tomorrow only.

This means you’ll be able to pick up the unlocked 32GB Moto X (2014) for just $349.99 outright, or the 64GB model for $374.99. For those interested, you’ll have to make the purchase between 11AM CT on May 5th and 11AM CT on May 6th, after that pricing will return to normal.
With plenty of compelling devices from competitors, and Motorola’s next gen flagship likely due out at the tail end of the summer, is the Moto X (2014) still worth picking up for sub-$400? Let us know what you think in the comments.
