Looks like Peggle is out for Android and it's the free app of the day on Amazon!
http://www.amazon.com/PopCap-Games-I.../dp/B0055OQCZI
Word of warning--if you try to "buy" it on some devices (Galaxy Tab, Transformer, etc.), you'll get an obnoxious denial to even so much as read or look at pictures of this app in the Amazon App Store itself, where it claims that this app is incompatible. I managed to get it installed on my Samsung Galaxy Tab by first going to the Amazon web site to click on the button to buy it for free, then went back to the Amazon app store on my Galaxy Tab, tapped the MENU button to choose MY APPS, where it shows up under the "New' tab. It installs only over wifi, but installs just fine and runs fine for me.
That all aside, though, I've played Peggle on my Xbox 360 and on my Nintendo DSi before, but this Android version feels a little sloppy (the opening dialog asking for username is blank, the music doesn't loop properly--it plays out and fades, then restarts--as if it's repeatedly playing an audio track that fades at the end). Otherwise, gameplay works great, zoom-in works great, etc. I don't understand why it's been blocked from installing on a bunch of systems that clearly are able to run it just fine. (another fellow with an Asus eee Transformer in another review had the exact same problem and suggested that way around the block that I described earlier.) Am I overlooking some detail as to why we're being denied this from these devices?
