Would anyone be willing to gift this to me? I don't get paid till the 1st of next month

Don't need the pay over the average since I already own S&S so the $1 minimum would do

Doh, edited to say the truth: Avadon is available for PC as well. Some poor wording on their part, I think.

well - Avadon was the only game that interested me, and I do not have any Android device. I guess that's it for me.

It lasts two weeks. You'll have enough time to buy it.
Yeah Avadon looks really good

It's on my Steam game list so yes. :P
Avadon is really good. If you don't have it, then this bundle is well worth it.

It does look like a bundle that I'll skip though: I have Swords & Soldiers (did not like it), Cogs (previous bundle, fun puzzle game) and Avadon (great CRPG, and to me this is the reason to get this bundle). Zen Bound 2 & Canabalt might be nice, but I don't think I would play them anytime soon :(

True still thought I would see if someone would be kind enough to gift it

Drakhyrr: Plus they may be useful when I actually get a gaming-capable android phone.
With Android phones, at least the cheap ones, you never know for sure what you are getting.

I bought two cheapo Chinese Android phones early January, ZTE Blade and Huawei U8800. They were in the same price range, about 100€ here, albeit I had to pay more for the ZTE. They are both currently running Android 2.3.5 (beta on Huawei, newest they have on their home page currently).

At first I thought they are pretty much the same featurewise, but in the end the Huawei clearly wins especially for Android gamers:

- All the Android games I've tried so far work on the Huawei device great, including all the games in the earlier Humble Android Bundle, and e.g. Minecraft Pocket Edition demo I got from Google Play (formerly known as Android Market).

- On ZTE Blade, e.g. Osmos and World of Goo crashed upon launch from the earlier bundle, and Minecraft demo was apparently not working either. Other games in the bundle seemed to work fine.

- Besides gaming, I noticed only later that ZTE Blade didn't even have a flash for the camera, while Huawei U8800 does.

So all in all, if you are looking for a cheapo Android phone, I can wholeheartedly recommend Huawei U8800, but not ZTE Blade. For some freaky reason I've read mostly praises for ZTE Blade before so I personally thought it would be superior of the two. In fact I bought the Huawei only because the store had run out of SIM-free ZTE Blades, so I got Huawei instead. Now I wish I would have gotten two of them.

Meh, bought it only for Avadon. Turns out HIB6 was another Android crappy bundle.
Anyone interested on gifting me a copy of this for a steam key of World of Goo and Faerie Solitaire?
Avadon normally costs $20 DRM-Free on the Spiderweb site, so I highly suggest you get it now since they aren't likely to lower their prices much more on their site anytime soon.

I own a Samsung Galaxy 5 (i5500), and it's horrible for gaming, even when the games actually run on it. Small screen, no multi-touch, weak hardware - better not to play on it at all.

As for your options, I haven't seen a Huawei phone around here, only the Blade. In any case, I've decided to wait until I have enough money to buy a higher-class phone, specially considering Android 4.0 ICS is out and phones below mid-range won't get it.

I'm not even sure if I'll be able to buy another phone this year, though.

If we are comparing prices, it is only £5.99 on Steam

Huawei has a pretty good reputation in general, don't they? I quite often hear about them producing good affordable mobile devices. Not top of the line, but good for their price range and quite reliable.
