According to <a href="http://www.slidetoplay.com/story/openfeint-launching-on-android-phones">Slide to Play</a>, Aurora Feint has announced plans to bring its <a href="http://joystiq.com/tag/openfeint">OpenFeint</a> platform to Android devices. The platform made its name by creating an online social hub for iPhone gamers, allowing them to send instant messages, find other players and even find games (though it will soon face competition from Apple's own <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2010/04/09/game-center-sparks-light-reactions-from-competing-devs/">Game Center</a>). The service will begin supporting Android later this summer, with Hudson Entertainment, Glu Mobile and Digital Chocolate all planning to support the launch.<br />
<br />
Furthermore, Aurora Feint has announced that it has received a new capital investment from The9, a firm known primarily for operating several MMO products in China.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2010/07/09/openfeint-coming-to-android-phones/">OpenFeint coming to Android phones</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Fri, 09 Jul 2010 00:00:00 EST.
