We’ve all seen some crazy lawsuits in the past. Everything from spilled coffee to burgalers suing homeowners when they became injured trying to rob the home. But this may take the cake. If there was any doubt in your mind that Apple was only after the money, this should clear it up.

Apple is suing Amazon over the name of the Amazon Appstore. Apple claims that Amazon using the word “App” in their store title will cause confusion among users and will cause irreparable damage and cause them to lose clients. They claim that customers will be unclear by the store name.

While the lawsuit still rages between Apple and Amazon, it would appear that it is a losing battle for Apple. According to Judge Phyllis Hamilton Apple has yet to prove their claim.

So here is my question to you PPCGEEKS Are you confused by this? Do you think that Apple has the right to sue Amazon over their use of the word App? If Apple wins this lawsuit does that mean that anytime someone writes or talks about apps that Apple is entitled to something? What do you think?

My Paper Plane 2 (3D) is an action game for your smartphone or Honeycomb tablet in which you fly a paper plane, seemingly jet-powered, through selectable 3D landscapes and various obstacle courses, while grabbing stars for points and dodging trees or buildings to stay aloft.

This app features a tutorial course to accustom you to the accelerometer tilt controls and to learn the basics of the game. The use of accelerometer technology is flawless and smooth: tilting the device up and down and side to side gives you total control in steering the plane and adjusting altitude, which you’ll need if you want to collect as many stars as possible.

Product Features

Tilt controls
4 unique landscapes
16 levels

PPCG Note: There’s been much debate over the use of task killers in Android. Many say that its not necessary to run one. Personally, I only have one installed in case I get a rogue app with a memory leak that gets stuck in the background. Memory management is only as good as the apps, and sometimes there could be issues. With that said, I don’t have any task killer set to automatically kill tasks, I just do it manually.

Hello again PPCGeeks! This is Oridus bringing you the first look of Angry Birds: Rio. This installment of Angry Birds has been a highly anticipated addition to the super popular game series for iPhone (and pads and pods and such) and Android devices. This version is an exclusive version to Amazon’s App store that they attempted to launch this morning, but quickly removed it, therefore stopping most people from getting their paws on a copy of Angry Birds Rio. As always though, there’s someone who discovers the magic quickly enough and has extracted the APK for us, and has it posted on XDA Developers.  I was able to get my hands on a copy as well and installed it on my HTC Inspire 4g, and did a little first look video. So here you are with your first glance at Angry Birds: Rio.

[Update] Since Amazon was only offering the game free for one day, we have removed the link to the apk. We hope that everybody’s as excited about the game as we are, and can’t wait till Amazon can get the app store up and running again!
