Angry Birds Rio catapults into webOS App Catalog

After having been available for iOS and Android for around a couple of weeks, Angry Birds Rio, the latest edition of the casual gaming megahit, has finally reached webOS as well.

Angry Birds Rio has two episodes that contain over 60 new levels at the moment, but episodic updates are promised to arrive throughout this year. Let's not forget that Angry Birds Rio brings the biggest change to the franchise yet -- you no longer aim for little green pigs. This time, in fact, your anger is directed at monkeys who are to blame for holding other fowl hostage in cages.

Buy Angry Birds Rio for webOS for $1.99 from the webOS App Catalog

Banshee music player now works in Windows, supports Amazon MP3 downloads

A few moments ago, version 2 of the Banshee music player for Linux was released, bringing with it a whole slew of new features, and the addition of an official -- but alpha-quality -- Windows build. The Mac OS X build of version 2 is due later today.

The most notable new feature is support for the Amazon MP3 store -- you can buy and download music from within Banshee -- but unfortunately it's only available in the Linux build at the moment (OS X and Windows support are planned, however). There have also been some significant improvements to artist, album, and queue interactions -- and yes, you can finally right click a track, album or artist and select 'play after' to insert it into the queue.

Beyond actual playback, the user interface has been tidied up -- it now looks a whole lot smarter -- and the Ubuntu One Music Store and SoundMenu extensions have been made official. For a complete list of changes, additions and bug fixes, check the change log.

When Windows support initially appeared in February, we found it rough around the edges and fraught with stability issues. With version 2, Banshee for Windows is still a bit unstable, but it's shaping up to be a good alternative to Winamp, iTunes, or whatever other music library manager you use. It's almost as attractive as its GNOMEish brother, too!

Download Banshee 2 for Linux and Windows (Mac OS X coming soon)

G5?s Q3 game line-up for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch

It’s been a busy summer for the folks over at G5 Entertainment. Since June, they’ve released Jack of All Tribes and Supermarket Management for iDevices and Macintosh, Treasure Seekers 3: Follow the Ghosts for iPhone/iPad, Dress Up Rush for iPad, and, most recently, Special Enquiry Detail: The Hand That Feeds for iPhone/iPad. But they’re not done yet. I had the opportunity at E3 2011 to talk about G5’s summer line-up and get a couple previews, and there’s still plenty ahead for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch gamers, beginning with: Mortlake Mansion Currently available for Mac and PC as Mystery of…

Engadget Primed: are multi-core chips worth the investment?

Primed goes in-depth on the technobabble you hear on Engadget every day -- we dig deep into each topic's history and how it benefits our lives. Looking to suggest a piece of technology for us to break down? Drop us a line at primed *at* engadget *dawt* com.

My, how times have changed over the last eight months. At CES 2011, we ecstatically witnessed the introduction of mobile devices with dual-core CPUs and drooled over the possibilities we'd soon have at our fingertips. Now, we look down at anything that doesn't have more than one core -- regardless of its performance. Not only are these new chips quickly becoming mainstream, Moore's Law is in full effect with our handheld devices since tri-core and quad-core systems are just over the horizon. We can't even fathom what's in the pipeline for the year 2015 and beyond (we don't think we're too far away from that 3D shark seen in Back to the Future 2).

Let's not get too far ahead of ourselves here, however. After all, we first need to wrap our puny human minds around the idea of what this newfound power can do, and why it's changing the entire landscape of smartphones and tablets. In this edition of Primed, we'll focus on why multicore technology makes such a difference in the way we use our handheld devices, whether we should even consider purchasing a handset with a single-core chip inside, and why one-core tech is so 2010. Check out the whole enchilada after the break.

Quickoffice: free for TouchPad, paid for smartphones, still not available

Whether you have a Palm Pre or HP TouchPad, there’s still something pretty major missing from your device: document editing. While you can go ahead and use Google Docs through the web browser, we all know that’s not an ideal solution and it just doesn’t work as well as we’d like. We want – nay, we need a native app. We were promised that in the form of Quickoffice, which debuted as a Word and Excel viewer bundled with webOS 2.0 back in October 2010. A tablet-sized version was packaged with webOS 3.0 on the TouchPad, but we’re still waiting on a document-editing version of the app for both screen sizes.

We’re still no closer to knowing when exactly that version will come, but thanks to an updated Quickoffice webpage, we can at least offer you some details on how it will be made available. Both the smartphone and tablet versions will be made available via the App Catalog, which will allow Quickoffice to distribute the app independent of any webOS updates. The tablet app will be made free-of-charge to TouchPad owners, while webOS smartphone owners (running 2.0 or higher, naturally) will have to fork over their hard-earned cash for the privilege of editing Word and Excel files.

And that’s all we’ve got. No clue on how much it will cost for the smartphones, or when it will land for any webOS device. Quickoffice has put up a sign-up page for notifications, along with the promise of a discount for smartphone users if you sign up. Document editing for webOS can’t get here soon enough.
