OpenFeint – a leader in socially-driven games for the iOS platform – is announcing they’re expanding to include Android. With their arrival comes 9,200 developers who have already published thousands of titles alongside OpenFeint’s official SDK, a game discovery platform, and integrated mobile payment solutions.

This is great news for people who’ve become frustrated with the lack of quality games on Android compared to the iPhone and iPad. Some of the bigger names making their way to Android include Glu Mobile, Digital Chocolate, and more. Other publishers – like Astraware – already have a presence on Android, but this move will help to bring more of their offerings to the platform.

“OpenFeint is leading the charge for game developers on Android – helping to simplify and improve the game discovery and purchase process for players on the platform,” said Adam Flanders, General Manager of Glu, a leading global developer and publisher of smartphone games. “Android is an evolving gaming platform that will greatly benefit from OpenFeint’s innovative online gaming and community technologies and we are pleased to extend our partnership.”

I can’t wait for all of this to officially kick-off. There are some quality games to be had on Android already, but the more we can get moving into the market, the better.
