If you're a developer who's wondering if integrating a social network like OpenFeint really makes a difference, just ask HyperBees. Their Android game Speedx 3D has been kicking around the Market since February - quite a long time for any app to have run its course. But 28 days ago they added OpenFeint, and have now seen a 39% increase in sales.

Android has often been talked about as the platform with the most potential to compete with Apple in the world of mobile gaming, but until recently it lacked the lightning rod needed to attract great games. OpenFeint might just be that lightning rod, and they've unveiled some figures from its first two weeks on the platform to prove it.

Android users who've felt disappointed with the gaming options they've seen so far might just be in for a pleasant surprise the next time they visit the Android Market. OpenFeint, the popular iPhone social gaming network, has gone cross-platform to Android as of today - and they're bringing a slew of great developers with them.

Back in January when we interviewed Aurora Feint CEO Jason Citron, he told us that OpenFeint would be going to Google Android, and that it was "just a question of when." Today Aurora Feint has answered that question, confirming in a press release that OpenFeint will be launching on Android later this summer.
