Kyocera has announced the availability of 12 free premium Android™ applications optimized for Kyocera Echo, the first dual-touchscreen Android smartphone. Available for a limited time during Kyocera’s “Summer of Free Apps,” these customized dual-screen games allow users to stay entertained during the long days of summer. The 12 featured titles, including “Burn the Rope,” “Sonic the Hedgehog” and “Super Monkey Ball,” normally cost $.99 to $4.99 but are available for free for the first 10,000 combined downloads (see below for details).* Echo users can conveniently find all 12 free apps via the preloaded ‘Top Apps’ shortcut on Echo phones and in the ‘Top Apps’ section of the Echo microsite – www.echobykyocera.com.
Kyocera’s “Summer of Free Apps” includes some of the most popular mobile gaming titles, including a dual-screen-optimized version of SEGA’s classic “Sonic the Hedgehog,” being offered for the first time in the U.S. on the Android operating system. The mobile gaming experience goes to a whole new level when Echo’s two screens are combined to form a 4.7-inch display (diagonally). Whether relaxing at the beach, standing in line for a rollercoaster or killing time between innings at a baseball game, Echo is a great source of summer entertainment for people of all ages.
