Google Launch New App Store

Google Launch New App Store

8 Dec, 2010

Just in case you don’t already spend too much time sat at your desk and gaping at a computer screen, Google have now made it even harder to get off the bloody things thanks to their new app store.

Along with the usual tools and novelty apps you’d expect to find, they’ve also launched a complete suite of games. With 195 games listed so far, publishers include heavyweights such as Zynga, PopCap and EA, with popular game titles like Farmville, Plants vs. Zombies, Tiger Words PGA, Mirror’s Edge and Poppit already available.

“We were able to convert [Poppit] into a state-of-the-art HTML5 web app in less than 48 hours,” said Schappert, EA COO. “It’s blazing fast. It’s simply the fastest Poppit we’ve made.”

Not sure how I feel about a conversion that took less than a weekend to complete, but what I do know is that companies are going to find it harder and harder to monitor ‘time fraud’ now that employees can play from within their work browsers. Which reminds me … uh, could someone please install Chrome on my work PC?
