Android's SDK now has asynchronous multiplayer baked in, the kind of turn-based system that makes playing Words With Friends (http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/08/interview-words-with-friends-creator-paul-bettner/) with distant pals possible. The update also features a developer preview of the new Google Drive API, better auto-complete options when sharing to Google+, and fixes the battery-draining bug that affected some Android 4.4 KitKat devices. Thrilling updates (http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/14/google-play-spruced-up-services-app-gets-app-data-people-details-syncing/)? Not quite, but it's good to see Google investing in its budding games services (http://www.engadget.com/2013/07/24/google-play-games/).
