You already knew TiPb’s very own store is having a huge sale today and if that isn’t enough, Amazon has an excellent deal on the 2nd generation 8GB iPod touch. For $158 you can nab one with free shipping along with a small bonus of a $5 Amazon MP3 Store credit.
If you spot any other worthy Cyber Monday deals be sure to let us know!

Amazon Selling 8GB iPod Touch (2nd Generation) for $158.00
After making a lot of noise about Android Market not being ready and how they would be scaling back development for the platform, Gameloft has done an about face and looks to be full speed ahead:
Paris – Gameloft®, a world leader in the publishing and development of downloadable video games, plans to launch High Definition games on next generation Android phones like the Motorola Droid and the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10.
“The arrival of this new generation of phones will allow the development of High Definition games that make the most of the technological capacity and the speed of execution offered by the new Android phones. Consumers will benefit from a top quality gaming experience,” says Gonzague de Vallois, vice-president of Publishing at Gameloft.
Gameloft also continues to support the current generation of Android phones and announces the imminent arrival of titles such as Assassin’s Creed. These titles will be accessible on the Android Marketplace and Gameloft internet sites and will further strengthen our catalogue of Android games already available.
As our buddy Casey over at Android Central points out, the reversal is stunning considering how Gameloft claimed they make 400x as much on iPhone apps as they do Android. (Casey also points out that persistent app size limit annoyance in Android land — fix that Google, would ya?)
We say — awesome. More competition for the handset makers and better games for everyone. Bring the fun!
What do you think, did Gameloft re-run the numbers, see a secret prototype, or did someone from Google use Maps Navigation to find France, pay them a visit, and show them search rankings before and after for their “re-consideration”? (We joke! Don’t Wave us!)

Gameloft Flip Flops — Will Develop for iPhone AND Android
Once again Taiwan’s DigiTimes is raising chatter about Qualcomm and Apple and CDMA compatible (or CDMA+GSM dual mode) iPhones, which of course brings Verizon screaming back into the rumor-mill.
This time, however, it seems that Qualcomm just really, really wants to work with Apple (who currently use a GSM-only chipset from rival Infineon), and a hybrid CDMA+GSM iPhone might not even be technically possible until 2011. (Though Qualcomm’s new chipset reportedly does provide compatibility with the upcoming LTE 4G standard as well, which both AT&T and Verizon will be rolling out… eventually).
So, yeah, very little to see here until we see something real here…

Best of Smartphone Experts, 29 Nov 2009
Tweetie 2.1 [$2.99 - iTunes link] — a FREE upgrade for Tweetie 2.0 users — brings support for Twitter’s new Geotag feature (so everyone will know where exactly you’re tweeting from), Twitter lists (what lists you have, what lists you subscribe to, though not the likely less-wieldly lists you’re on), and the controversial new-style re-tweets (where you see the original tweeter in your timeline, not the person you’re following who re-tweeted it).
There are other additions as well: report spam (via API), tweet-stream “gap” detection (looks like a torn gap in your timeline), and a tone of other stuff (including disable pin-stripes for the pixel-haters).
So how does Tweetie 2.1 handle all this new stuff? With Atebit’s trademark buttery-smooth UI. Geotag is a new icon under the tweet-count drop-down menu. Twitter lists can be accessed via the More (…) icon on the bottom navigation bar, and you can view, manage, and even add new lists right on-device. New-style re-tweets get a small pink corner icon on the top right, and tapping on it brings up the original tweet with text on the bottom telling you which person you follow re-tweeted it.
Also, yes, still no support for Apple’s Push Notification Service. If you want push, you’ll need to get a third-party app to handle it for you. (Or use SMS support).
If you decide to give it a try, let us know how you like it. (Or help me try it out via @reneritchie)
Screenshots galore after the break!
