In an interview with Swedish online newspaper Realtid.se, Carl Freer, former CEO of bankrupt mobile gaming company Gizmondo, said he will relaunch the portable gaming console in 2008.
The Gizmondo would be produced by a Chinese company in Shenzen that would get rights to sell the product in China. Carl Freer claims to have 35 games for the console including 6 new titles. The price of the gaming console could be US$99 and might be free with some wireless operators, he said.
Launched in 2005, the initial Gizmondo was the first portable gaming console to feature a GPRS connection, a GPS and a camera. Two versions of the device were distributed, one of them at a lower price thanks to an advertising-based business model.
But the device sold poorly while the company burned cash at a frenetic pace, and by February of 2006 the company discontinued the Gizmondo and was forced into bankruptcy.
Thanks to its GS and GPRS connection the Gizmondo was supposed to offer multiplayer location-based gaming. The game “Colors” was intended to be the first of this kind, but due to Gizmondo's bankruptcy, it was never officially released.
The company made the headlines when it was revealed that executives were spending the money of the company in luxury cars and one of them, Stefan Eriksson, was a Swedish mobster. The video below highlights the whole story behind the bankruptcy of the company.

Zodttd has updated his excellent GBA Emulator for the Iphone/Itouch:
gpSPhone v1.0.0 has been released.
So what's new? Here's a look at the readme.txt for more on that:
Changes 1.0.0:
- Switched to using fullscreen landscape view
- Added transparent overlay for improved controls
- Fixed some of my changes back to Exophase's dynarec code.
- Improved performance in some areas of some games. This may be offset by the more intensive rendering to screen.
- Added 8way dpad support and A+B button (bottom right corner) for combo support.
Pending Issues:
- Screen is a bit faded out from landscape mode controller overlay
- Dropped portrait support.
- The 8way dpad is a little too small for some users. It will be adjusted for larger thumbs soon.
- Save states in some games will crash. Try not to save very early into playing a game to avoid this bug.
- Bugs are bound to be found. They will be fixed as asap.
Tips:
- Place your thumb in the center of the 8way dpad and move the direction you want to go in. This works best.
- If you use USA region games, they tend to go faster in gpSPhone due to gpsp_config.txt file configuration for game's idle loop elimination (an optimization).

The ScummVM Team recently posted 2 updates on their site, heres the info:
We are pleased to announce another series of games from HorrorSoft are supported, which use the AGOS engine:
Elvira - Mistress of the Dark
Elvira II - The Jaws of Cerberus
Waxworks (Amiga version only)
Help rescue Elvira in Elvira 1/2, and resolve a family curse in Waxworks.
And also this
ScummVM now adds another freeware title to its list of games: Lure of the Temptress, which was the first game to use Revolution Software's Virtual Theatre engine. Players must help Diermot escape imprisonment, unravel the mysteries surrounding the Skorl occupation of the town, and eventually defeat the evil enchantress that controls them.
Excellent News for fans of ScummVM 
What Is ScummVM?
ScummVM is a program which allows you to run certain classic graphical point-and-click adventure games, provided you already have their data files. The clever part about this: ScummVM just replaces the executables shipped with the games, allowing you to play them on systems for which they were never designed!
Some of the adventures ScummVM supports include Adventure Soft's Simon the Sorcerer 1 and 2; Revolution's Beneath A Steel Sky, Broken Sword 1 and Broken Sword 2; Flight of the Amazon Queen; Wyrmkeep's Inherit the Earth; Coktel Vision's Gobliiins; Westwood Studios' The Legend of Kyrandia and games based on LucasArts' SCUMM (Script Creation Utility for Maniac Mansion) system such as Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle, Sam and Max and more.
Among the systems on which you can play those games are Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, Dreamcast, PocketPC, PalmOS, AmigaOS, BeOS, OS/2, PSP, PS2, SymbianOS/EPOC and many more.

Here's an odd one for you, a Nokia patent application just revealed those images above. The odd part is not so much the slider mechanism they are attempting to patent. Rather, it's the use of those dumbed-down product images instead of the purposely vague schematic usually submitted to the USPTO. And if we're not mistaken, that looks like "8 megapixel" stamped just below the lens. New N-Series in the oven, Nokia?

Changes:
Bug fixes:
Imported URL from Safari Plugin not seen fixed
Error (LOCKED) with formerly imported in Calendar fixed
Bad updated fixedhttp://movenplay.gforge.inria.fr/

iPodtouchfans.com forum member Virtualball has compiled a version of Pyro Sand for the iPod Touch/iPhone. The game involves four different particles falling from the top of the screen, which all look and move similar to sand. The particles resemble sand, water, salt, and oil in color. Along with these four, additional elements can be placed on the screen with your finger by choosing the colored icons below, some that are solid and stationary instead of flowing. By mixing the different elements together, many colorful designs, complex structures, and systems can be created.

Surprise! The German courts have reversed the November decision and now say that T-Mobile has the right to sell the iPhone exclusively in Germany. As a result, the injunction granted to Vodafone has been dismissed. T-Mobile still has the right to seek damages. Ah well, there are still unlocked iPhones in France if anyone's looking.

Heres the awesome press release:
Nokia, THQ Wireless, Lucasfilm, and LucasArts today revealed that Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is coming to N-Gage, Nokia's next generation mobile gaming platform in 2008.
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed casts players as Darth Vader's "Secret Apprentice" and promises to unveil new revelations about the Star Wars galaxy. The game's expansive story is set during the largely unexplored era between Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope.
The mobile version of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is in development by THQ's Finland-based studio, Universomo. Using Cell Weaver(TM) technology, the game lets the player harness the Force while assisting Darth Vader in his quest to rid the universe of Jedi - and face decisions that could change the course of their destiny.
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed Mobile game provides players with unique community features, including tournaments, score uploads and downloadable content, through N-Gage Arena services.
"We're proud to be able to deliver the next chapter in the Star Wars saga on the N-Gage platform," said Gregg Sauter, Director, Publishing, Nokia. "Star Wars: The Force Unleashed Mobile game will take advantage of the N-Gage platform's robust native development environment to provide the ultimate mobile gaming experience, including powerful graphics, connectivity and community elements."
"THQ Wireless is dedicated to creating an awesome mobile Star Wars experience that delivers on the concept of unleashing the Force. The N-Gage platform makes it possible for us to release a rich mobile gaming experience to entertain as wide an audience as possible on N-Gage compatible devices," said Adam Comisky, vice president of THQ Wireless.
"The launch of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed will be a major entertainment event in 2008, and bringing the game to the N-Gage mobile gaming platform is a big part of that because it means that millions of people around the world will be able to access the Star Wars: The Force Unleashed world right in the palm of their hand," said Howard Roffman, President of Lucas Licensing.

A new version of gpSPhone has been released.
gpSPhone v1.1.0 brings the following changes:
- Added a menu button to the controller overlay (between L and R) that closes a game to the ROM list menu.

Just under a fortnight ago, we found that the audio input pins on the iPod touch were indeed active and able to record audio. Now, a modder has constructed a smallish dock appendage that plugs directly into the touch and enables you to input audio. Apparently, the gizmo sports a built-in microphone and pre-amp, which could theoretically be used in VoIP applications or for recording simple voice notes. It seems as though the creator is offering these up to anyone interested, but you'll have to drop him an email to find out how much such an accessory will run you.

It would be no understatement to say that Star Wars is one of the most loved franchises on the planet. Everyone working on the N-Gage project is a huge fan of the Star Wars universe, so we were absolutely thrilled when we heard that Star Wars: The Force Unleashed™ was coming to the N-Gage platform.
In the game, you'll play as Darth Vader's apprentice during the Clone Wars, a period of Star Wars history that takes place between Episodes III and IV.
To learn more, particularly about the N-Gage version, we spoke with Haden Blackman, Project Lead, LucasArts, and Henri Roth, Creative Director of Universomo, the development studio tasked with creating the mobile version of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed.
FORCE UNLEASHED QUESTIONS
N-Gage.com: In Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, the player takes on the role of an apprentice to Darth Vader. Why is he called just 'the secret apprentice'? Is his actual name revealed during the game?
Blackman: He’s a “secret apprentice” because Darth Vader is training him in complete isolation to one day help him overthrow the Emperor. No one can know that the Apprentice exists -- if the Emperor discovered his existence, he would kill both Vader and the Apprentice.
What is the Secret Apprentice's mission? What is he trying to do?
Blackman: Early on, the Apprentice is aiding Vader on his quest to purge the galaxy of the remaining Jedi. But, he’s really being trained to one day stand beside Vader against the Emperor. However, the story goes through several twists and turns, so the Apprentice’s goals at the end of the game are not necessarily the same as they are at the beginning.
What is Emperor Palpatine's Order 66 and how does that affect the game?
Blackman: Order 66 was the order Palpatine issued to wipe out the Jedi in Episode III. Since that time, the Jedi have been on the run or in hiding. It’s part of Darth Vader’s job to hunt down any of these survivors.

Tommy & Mats released their new application MMS today.
Here are the release notes:
Tada! We are ready to release our native MMS application for the iPhone! Note, this is a v0.1 release that is not feature complete! Specifically, it is NOT possible to receive MMSs yet.
Before you can send any MMSs you must configure your mmsc server and maybe a proxy server in the MMS's Settings panel. The settings are available from your operator. For example, my configuration settings are:
mmsc: mmsc.tele2.se
proxy: 130.244.202.30:8080
but you must use your operator's settings.
Note, to send MMSs you must be communicating over EDGE/GPRS. In other words, if you are using WiFi you must disable that service.
As stated before, this first release is pretty rough and can only send MMSs. But we will develop it further, making the GUI a bit more polished and add the capability to receive MMSs. You can support our development efforts by making a small donation.
We will make this release available via Installer but you can download the files now from here. Unzip, copy files to /Applications/MMS.app/ and chmod +x mms.
Have fun!

The iPhone Dev Team has been calling their AnySim iPhone unlock tool "open source" from the start, but they've finally made good on their promise and posted the code on Google Code. Have at it, hackers -- not being able to unlock new 1.1.2 iPhones is surely putting a damper on someone's holiday season.

Doting uncles with more nieces and nephews than fingers on one hand will still have a problem than this, but Apple's quietly raised the iPhone purchase limit from three to five. Our tipster says the Apple store employees aren't supposed to say anything and they're supposed to keep all the signs the same, but you should be able to get away with an armful without any kind of hassle.

Vinterstum has released a new version of ScummVM for the Apple iPhone, heres the latest release news:
20071208_0049:
* The "leftover" screenspace due to aspect ratio alignment will now be 50/50 on each side of the screen (centering the image).
* Click-and-drag mouse mode now works for the right mouse button as well. Pressing down a second finger will now 1) release the left mouse button, then 2) click the right mouse button until you lift your finger. Means COMI inventory handling, and whatever games need mouse-dragging with right mouse button held down, should work better.

iLocation is a native program that pin points your current physical location and displays it in the iPhone's Maps application. It uses the location of cellular towers your phone is connected to estimate your location. It works exactly like Google's Mobile Maps for other phones.
Release notes:
- Will not publically release this, sorry. Google's database of cellular tower locations is not publically available and they'll most likely ask me to stop distributing this. Until they release a public api, I'll keep this for myself.

As the festive season comes around again, we're taking a look at what's out there for people who want to make their Symbian phone a bit more Xmassy...
During the 1980s, it was extremely common to see Xmas-themed and Winter-themed computer games on 8-bit and 16-bit systems. This has somewhat died out lately, mainly due to the immense costs, long development times and global markets of console games. However, the Xmas/Winter game tradition is alive and well on smartphones, and there are seasonal games for every kind of Symbian.
We've divided up this article into flavours of Symbian: S60 3rd Edition, S60 1st & 2nd Edition, UIQ3, UIQ2, Series 80 and Series 90. Just scroll down to the section appropriate to your device.
To go to the download or purchase pages for a game, just click on its screenshot.
Incidentally, for those of you who download Snowed In 6, remember that you can swap tiles diagonally as well as vertically and horizontally. This may be a bit tricky to do on some direction pads, but it is possible. If you can't get it to work, try pressing two different directions in quick succession. You can see an extended video of Snowed In 6 gameplay, including the diagonal swapping, over at the Unofficial Nokia Gaming Blog.

Zodttd has posted some fantastic news for fans of Emulation on the Apple iPhone and iPod Touch.
He is now working on a Playstation Emulator for the iPhone/iPod Touch and has posted these 2 screenshots:


Heres all the news about the work on this emulator:
These images won't reflect how the release will look. Also ignore the data in the debug information at the top, as it's not accurate.
What can you look forward to in the first release of psx4iphone? Depends on how the beta testing goes. I will be working on the existing dynarec (cpu emulation) quite a lot to improve performance as it will be required. The screen scaling and screen placement will be drastically improved over the above images. Memory card support will work, and save states might work. Sound will be implemented as well. The interface/gui will be very similar to gpSPhone's just with 4 hard buttons instead of just A+B, and L2 and R2 buttons. A rough estimate would be about 75% of games will be compatible. With such a large library of games, this may or may not include your favorite game. Performance will have to be increased about 25% to get a good portion of games running smoothly. This can be done.
I will be contacting those who donated to me (for gpSPhone and psx4iphone) when a beta of psx4iphone (also works on iPod Touch) is available. If there's a large amount of beta testers and the demand is there, it could be within a matter of days.
Heres also the first article to inform you totally of whats going on:
Work has begun on two projects involving emulating Playstation 1 (PS1) games on the iPhone, iTouch, and GP2X. I am involved with both projects, and will outline both.
psx4all - This project has a lot of time and work placed into it. It is already a featured emulator within the GP2X community. The GP2X is a great handheld for homebrew gaming, and I proudly display the gp2x-store banner ad above. psx4all is already ready to go, and I have it compiled for the iPhone already. This is the quickest way to get Playstation on the iPhone for me. It's a complete emulator with sound, compressed ISO support, fairly fast, memory card support, and save states.
yapse4all - This project is currently a "work in progress". It has a lot of potential. It's code is clean and efficient, and written completely from the ground up for handhelds and dynamic recompilation. This project will take longer to complete than psx4all, but will have better performance in the long run. I am looking forward to help push yapse4all forward.
So in short, psx4all can bring PS1 emulation to the iPhone/iTouch while yapse4all is being developed alongside.
A lot of code in psx4all needs to be ripped out and redone, and I am able to produce a much nicer dynamic recompiler over my current one for this emulator to speed up performance. Other psx4all platforms will benefit from this and yapse as well.
Hold on tight, playstation emulation is on its way.

We've already seen a microphone rigged for use with the iPod touch, and it now looks like that hack could soon be about to get a whole lot more useful, as the iPod Touch Mods blog is reporting that an enterprising individual known only as "eok" has manged to get VoIP working on the device.
According to the blog, eok used the SIP-based SvSIP application originally developed for the Nintendo DS as the basis for the hack, although there's unfortunately few other details at the moment, let alone the recompiled version of the app itself, or even a screenshot of it in action. Given the history of these things, however, we wouldn't expect it to take too long for those tidbits to trickle out, assuming the hack lives up to its promise, that is.

You play with crayons and physics. The goal of the game is to move the red ball so that it collects the stars. You can cause the red ball to move by drawing physical objects.
Changes:
Scratch to erase! With an option in the menu to disable it (in case you don't like to erase lines :-)
Option to swap the tap/double-tap functions
Some performance enhancements
Some bugfixes (including the annoying object disappearance one)
And some nice new joints for level creators (iPhysics_Levelpack_Format)

News from doblezeta:
Here's a new interesting app for the iPhone that gives it a Minority report like interface demo for image rotation and scaling.
MultiTouch v 0.1.1
To Install, you need to add the iPhon.fr source in your Installer.app's sources.
To do this:
In installler.app
tap sources
tap edit
tap add
type: http://s.imov.eu/
tap ok
wait for sources to refresh
tap install
look for multitap under the iPhon.fr category
install multiTouch.
Enjoy your iPhone's Minority Report-like interface and view of NY Twin Towers Ground Zero
But wait! There's more! for those who wish to edit the default picture shown by the app (i changed mine to a googlearth view of Rockwell Center) follow these instructions:
Notes:
Requires MultiTap to already be installed on your iPhone!
Requires knowledge of SSHing to your iPhone
1) Download and Install Pixer (Mac Only, I;m sure Windows also has a nifty pixel changer application
2) Choose your desired picture to appear in MultiTouch.
TIP: Use GoogleEarth and use screenshot (Apple-shift-4 on Macs) to make and use a GoogleEarth image.
Since the image has to be a .jpg file with resolution of
797 x 737
and preferably (but not required)
72 pixels per inch,
Here's where Pixer comes useful. Launch Pixer and choose the picture file you want, then convert it to a 797 x 737 jpg. save to desktop.
rename the .jpg file that Pixer just created to: WTC_skyview.jpg
TIP: Images that are originally close to a 797x 737 (almost a square shape) will work best.
3) Launch your SSH application on your computer.(Fugu or Cyberduck for Mac, WinSCP for Windows)
Login to your iPhone
Navigate to the iPhone's /Applications/Multitouch.app/ Directory
Drop the WTC_skyview.jpg file you created (from your desktop), to the iPhone's /Applications/Multitap.app/ directory.
You should get an alert whether you want to overwrite IF your dropped the WTC_skyview.jpg file onto the right directory. Click Overwrite.
Close Fugu
Restart iPhone.
Enjoy your customized MultiTouch.
Great app that shows you the potential of our beloved iPhones. Imagine if future games implement this feature. I can imagine a port of SilentScope working well with this interface. =)http://www.hackint0sh.org/forum/showthread.php?t=18666

Jonz has released a new version of his Nes Emulator for the iPhone:
NES.app lets you play Nintendo games on your iPhone. It is a fully functional, feature-rich Nintendo emulator.
NES.app uses an emulator core we call NESCore, which we've forked from pNESx and InfoNES and re-engineered as a highly-portable and high-performance Nintendo emulator core.
In order to use NES.app, you will need ROM images of Nintendo games. ROM images are files containing the dumped instruction code from a physical cartridge. In many cases, you are legally entitled to posess a ROM imageof any game that you presently own. ROM images for NES are widely available online, or with the appropriate hardware, you can dump them yourself directly from the cartridge.
Features
Multitouch: Use the directional pad + A + B, or other combinations
Landscape Mode: Turn the iPhone counter-clockwise to play in landscape mode
Zapper Tap: Tap objects on the screen to shoot them
Full Screen: Enlarge your NES picture to the max possible
Save State: Save an instant snapshot of your game and come back to it later
Game Genie: Use Game Genie cheat codes
... and many more
NES.app is not iPhoneNES!
NES.app started as a fork of iPhoneNES v0.01, but has been completely rewritten to run very fast, and with many additional features including sound, multitouch support, full-screen, landscape mode, game genie codes, saved games and much more. It now contains zero code from the original iPhoneNES project.
As of recent, stepwhite re-released a much older version of NES.app as iPhoneNES v0.31. We have no idea why, but please be aware that NES.app is in no way affiliated with the iPhoneNES project (which only ever released v0.01 officially). We recommend using the latest version of NES.app instead, which is available below.
2.0.1 [jonz] Fixed preference groups to appear with correct headings
Cleaned up orientation changes and fixed scrambled screen bug
Added NSAutoreleasePool
Added LayerKit transitions for aesthetics

Nokia have just unveiled a new first party virtual pet simulator, Creebies, for the upcoming Next Gen N-Gage platform. To find out more, head on over to All About N-Gage. Also noteworthy in the press release is that Nokia describes N-Gage as available for "Nokia Nseries and other S60 3rd Edition devices", although they haven't yet revealed exactly which non-Nseries models will support the platform.

Thanks to another set of ambitious iPhone hackers, we've officially got video on Apple's wonder-device (that somehow omitted video to begin with). It's not much right now, but if you want, you can see your phone recording five succulent seconds of real-deal video at around 15 FPS. The developers say this is just a proof of concept, and they've been able to get up to 45 FPS on the device -- so hopefully we can expect a more robust version soon (like, say, one that lets you save the recording).

If you've been drooling over the little TomTom add-on for the iPhone we nabbed a "photo" of the other day, you can probably wipe the spittle off your chin. It looks like the image makes a fatal in flaw in borrowing its barcode from a fairly well-known iPod fake (pictured above). Additionally, in researching our tipster, we've discovered he's a graphic designer with a penchant for Apple fakes -- not exactly a confidence builder. So it appears we've got more rumor shot down -- though we hope TomTom and Jobs are paying attention, because it's painfully obvious that the people want GPS on this thing, and they want it now.

Square Enix has officially revealed a sequel to Super NES classic Final Fantasy IV... but it's for mobile phones. Pitch forks at the ready.
Final Fantasy IV The After - Return to the Moon will release on Japanese FOMA 903i model mobile phones in February, with support for other mobiles coming later.
According to the latest issue of Famitsu, the game has you playing as Theodore, a young boy who is descended from the SNES original's hero Cecil, though Final Fantasy fans are probably too busy cursing into their handhelds to care.
The 1991 original was later ported to PlayStation and remade on the Nintendo DS, and is largely regarded as one of the best entries in the massive RPG series. Its hugely disappointing then that the follow up is coming to a watered down format only properly available in Japan. But we're not bitter at all, no.
We'll let you know if its any good. Y' know, if we ever get our hands on it.

After countless delays Nokia has revealed that its revamped N-Gage platform will finally go live next week. Electric Pig reports that the mobile giant is putting the finishing touches to the games service as we speak, with punters able to download new games and compete against other people from next Tuesday.
N-Gage will launch with a somewhat limited line-up of games, including Brothers in Arms, The Sims 2 Pets and FIFA 08, with a broader range of titles promised shortly after launch. What's more, you don't need a pasty-shaped handset to play them either, because the N-Gage service is designed to eventually work with the entire range of Nokia's N-series of phones – although initially it's only compatible with the N81, with N95 and N93 owners able to get in on the action at the beginning of next year.

News/release from Mollusk: for Pocket PC:
Here's a quick release of an old game I coded, Virus Chaser. I didn't release it at first because I was looking for a graphist (never found one ^^). If anyone is motivated, feel free to post here ! The theme can be completely changed, I named it Virus Chaser because they were the only images I had ready to use :s
The whole game is about preventing a virus from escaping !
Each turn, you can plot a single wall to try and block the virus, and it'll then move 1 tile towards the exit...
Each time you manage to capture it'll, you'll have to restart with 1 less wall at the beginning... How good a Virus Chaser can you get ?

Via pdroms comes word of a new version of Xump the puzzle game for Pocket PC:
Xump consists of a 20x12 playfield which is filled with various types of blocks. Your job is to make the blue blocks disappear from the playfield by stepping on them. There are five main types of block, each of which behave differently.
Grey Blocks: A grey block allows you to step on it with out disappearing when you stand on it. Your start point is always a grey block, the last block you step on must be a grey block as well.
Grey Arrow Blocks: Arrow blocks forward you AUTOMATICALLY in the given direction without warning, with exception to the two way arrow blocks which have either a vertical or horizontal black line. You may only walk over two way arrow blocks in the direction of the arrows. Arrow blocks do not disappear when you step on them
Warp Blocks: Warp blocks always come in a double pack. If you jump in, you come out at the other warp block. Warp blocks are grey and have a hole in them, they do not disappear when you step on them.
Blue Blocks: Blue blocks have to be destroyed by stepping on them. Be warned that blue blocks disappear after a short while of standing on them, or when you leave the block.
Darkblue Blocks: Darkblue blocks turn into blue blocks, be careful: Darkblue blocks are sometimes an essential part of the puzzle elements.

True, the tantalizing rumor of a TomTom GPS for the iPhone suffered a rather untimely demise, but not to worry -- as a navigation aid, we figure the iPhone's sizable touchscreen and dock connector just make too much sense for a GPS solution to not get willed into existence. Engineering firm partfoundry is taking a real (as in, confirmed) stab at developing a custom, purpose-built GPS module that slots into the iPhone's port, delivering 16 channels of satellite reception to the software of your choice. Notice the "of your choice" there -- it looks like partfoundry will be requiring jailbreaked phones and relying on the developer community to serve up apps capable of processing the module's output and making use of it. The current plan is to get these bad boys out of the door in February, though they're taking orders now for $89. Oh, and don't worry, there are plans for a "stylish plastic enclosure" to bring the 1337 hax0r appearance down a notch or three.

Market statistician Net Applications says on its Web site that Apple iPhones currently account for .09 percent of Web browsing, while all Windows Mobile devices put together accout for only .06 percent. That's pretty astonishing, given the relative numbers of handheld devices running each OS in the marketplace.
Those numbers are truly low. Given the total volume of Web page retrievals the difference between nine one-hundredths of 1 percent and six one-hundredths of a percent stats is a gnat's eyelash. But Net Applications finds them persuasive, and they confirm a conclusion I came to last summer when I wrote a piece on browsing the Web on a smartphone: it works a lot better on an iPhone than it does on a Windows Mobile handheld.
Another report published last week by Daniel Dilger in his "Roughly Drafted" blog claims that iPhone is also outselling all Windows Mobile devices combined in the U.S. market (but, to be sure, still trailsRIM (NSDQ: RIMM)'s BlackBerry).
Dilger cites statistics from analyst firm Canalys that I can't find on the Web, and his blog is a little too consistently kind to Apple, but his piece does make interesting reading. And his stats are supported by analyst firm NPD, which recently calculated that the iPhone held 27 percent of the smartphone market in the U.S. (and the smartphone market has almost tripled over the past year to hold 11 percent of all mobile phone sales, which is also astonishing growth.)
If all these statistics are reliable, it just could be that Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT) is losing out in the growth market for mobile operating systems. Whatever the numbers, Microsoft isn't about to be put out of business. Net Applications says 78.3 percent of all Web browsing in the U.S. is done from devices running Windows XP, while Apple OSes, whether Intel-based, Power PC or iPhone, account for just 6.9. But the mobile market certainly doesn't seem to be going Microsoft's way – and Google's Android looks like it will only make the fight tougher.

Finally! Apple has added the capability to allow users to create their own ringtones in GarageBand and export them to the iPhone. You need to have the latest 4.1.1 version of GarageBand 8 running. It takes about 5 minutes from start to finish, and you can even use songs from your iTunes library.
It really is stupid easy. Granted, this is something I did back in the 1.0.0 firmware days with an unlocked iPhone, but it was not sanctioned and required jailbreaking your iPhone first. Hacking ringtones is officially a thing of the past.
Here's the process.
Connect your iPhone. Open GarageBand. Create a track using Apple's loops or compose an entire song on your own. (The possibilities are sort of endless here and opens the floodgates for highly inappropriate ringtones.) Click on the "Share" tab, and under it is a selection called "Send Ringtone to iTunes". Click that, and it lets you select a 10-second loop of your track, mixes it, and sends it to iTunes. Once you've done that, simply sync your iPhone and voila! You've created your own ringtone.
After you sync, you can go into the iPhone's settings and choose the newly added ringtone as your ringer. It appears in a separate list from the official Apple ringtones, called "Custom."
At first, I used an existing song I was working on in GarageBand. The 10-second loop sounds pretty good as a ringtone, but I decided it would be more fun to choose something from my iTunes library.
With GarageBand open, I went into my music folders and dragged a song into the GarageBand track editor. It imported the song with no issues. I then picked a 10-second loop of that song (a killer riff from Lamb of God's Sacrament CD) and repeated the process above. It worked just the same. I was able to use a song from my iTunes music library and create a ringtone out of it for free. No silly extra charge.

O sweet jeebus, could it be? Why yes, that's the "stylish plastic enclosure" promised for the partfoundry GPS module iPhone hack. At least, it's the first rendered appearance. Initially peeped over at Engadget Mobile on Friday, the newly named locoGPS module requires a Jail Broken iPhone to work. A new video shows the SiRF Star III chip doing its positional thing in support of Google Maps. The $89 hack remains on track for a February 2008 release -- you know, around the time when the official SDK launches and presumably... hopefully, an official iPhone GPS module is announced.

Well hello there, never-before-seen-device bearing the mylo name, nice to meet you. We can only assume by your camera-equipped backside (and your designation as the "COM-2") that you're the mylo 2 we'd heard rumors about -- but no thanks to the tight-lipped FCC, we don't know much more than the fact that you'll be one-upping your predecessor by tacking 802.11g onto its b. Still, now that we've got you in our sights, the rest of your specs can't remain secret for long.

The news are from November, but I just want to tell it to you people, since it wasn't posted before. And it is sad, even I considered to buy this old handheld because it was cheap and it had online games.
via N-Gage official forum
Well guys. I think you all knew it was coming sooner or later, but I wanted to officially announce it here in the N-Gage community. As hinted on the past few weeks and as mentioned in the announcments, In order to prepare the new and improved backend servers and databases for the Next Generation launch, the old Arena game servers and arena features will be shutting down on Dec. 5th @10am PST. After this date, the Arena features of the old N-Gage games will no longer be available.
It's been a long run, and i'm sure you know if there was anyway we (and/or redrum) could have kept up the old arena servers we would have, but they are running on some old backend technology, and also with the way the new Next Generation architecure is built, there was no way for us to keep the old arena games and its functionality running without allowing for us to improve upon the next generation backend performance and make it the best and fastest it can be this time around.
When the next generation launches, not only will I be looking to you veterans of the N-Gage to help debug the launch, but as always we value your expertise, opinions, and comments, so please take some time to fill out this quick Next Generation N-Gage Survey.

Hollywood's classic Film Noir world creates an atmospheric backdrop for this story-driven detective game. Dirk Spanner and the Fallen Idol by Nokia Games Publishing brings classic detective gaming onto mobile devices with unique twists and turns around every corner.
Set in the stylish, yet seedy fictional city of New Haven, Dirk Spanner and the Fallen Idol comes to life through its comic book ambiance. Gripping yet funny stories of conflicts, romance and deception with plenty of movie stars, rip-offs, double-crosses, wigs and moustaches make this an entertaining game that will engage novices through to the most experienced game players.
"Dirk Spanner and the Fallen Idol will re-introduce the long forgotten detective game genre for mobile devices," said Dr Mark Ollila, Director of Technology and Strategy and Head of Games Publishing, Nokia. "With the combination of stunning visuals and enthralling storylines, players cannot help but be spellbound by this game."
Featuring Dirk as the lead private eye, players are propelled into mysterious adventures, battling an array of femme fatales and gangsters. From solving the mystery of a stolen statue and a brutal murder, to uncovering the case of an accidental penguin-related death, Dirk will not rest until the case is solved.
Players guide Dirk through mysterious assignments using the unique one-button, camera-based controls, giving players an intuitive way of exploring the city of New Haven. A jazzy soundtrack helps set the mood for each stage of the game.
Dirk Spanner and the Fallen Idol is expected to be available in the first half of 2008.

Sebastian Jedruszkiewicz has released the first version of emTube, a freeware YouTube client application and FlashVideo player. emTube allows you to browse (by search, by featured video, by top rated videos and by most viewed videos), view and download YouTube videos or play back a locally stored file. It is an impressively polished application for a first release and is the best YouTube / FlashVideo solution for S60 phones I have seen thus far. Read on for screenshots and more details.
emTube allows you to easily access any YouTube video and have it playing back on your phone in a matter of seconds.
Two version are currently available from the emTube version - one is specifically for the N95 and takes advantage of the built in accelerometer to automatically rotate videos into full screen mode when you turn the phone. I've no doubt this will be a popular application and it is a great way to demo the power of an open software platform phone to family and friends down the pub.
The application runs on all S60 3rd Edition phones, but you may find that real-time video playback is not possible on older devices. More recent devices such as the E65, N93 and N95 should work fine. I tested the application on the N95, there were a few stutters, but generally the video was smooth, and is one of the best mobile FlashVideo player implementation, in terms or quality, that I have seen. emTube allows you to watch videos as they are downloading, after an initial pause for buffering you can start playing the video as the rest of it downloads.
Aside from the basic video browsing and viewing functions there's an impressive level of functionality in emTube considering this is a first release. You can download a video to your phone's internal memory or memory card. emTube can be used to play back locally stored flash video files. You can also add a video to your favourites list as a way to quickly get back to videos you want to watch later.
From the search page it is possible to access all the user videos of the currently selected video and you can also view videos related to the currently selected video. You can also view the video details which includes a variety of information including title, author, duration, view count and average rating.
The application also operates perfectly in landscape mode. Videos can be played back in landscape ('full screen') mode. The N95 version the application will use the accelerometer to automatically rotate the video (and put it into full screen mode) when you turn the phone. It is a neat touch and is typical of the thought that has been put into this application. For other phones there is a menu entry (or press '1' for a keyboard shortcut) that does the same thing.
It also great to the author put together a comprehensive website and PDF documentation for the application. This is something I would like to see more of for freeware applications.
Plans for future versions include the ability to upload videos to YouTube, the ability to view and add comments to videos, support for additional video codecs, speed optimizations and support for DailyMotion (another video site similar to YouTube).
The application has made use of Symbian PIPS to port part of ffmpeg to the Symbian platform. It is used to decode the video (H.263) for playback. This is one of the first mainstream uses (application likely to be popular and widely used) of Symbian PIPs that we've seen in a publicly released application.
Developers may also like to note that the source code for the video element of this application, libavcodec and libavutil (part of ffmpeg) is available on the authors website.
emYube is available as freeware, but the author asks for donations if you like the application, please do your part.

Old school and new school clash as Sega announces the original Sonic the Hedgehog now available for play on the latest batch of iPods. For $4.99 on the iTunes Store you can download and play the classic platformer on your iPod Nano with video, iPod Classic, or fifth generation iPod. What, no iPhone?
"Sonic The Hedgehog is one of the most beloved video game characters of all time," said Simon Jeffery, President and COO of SEGA of America, "And with the installed base that iPod enjoys Sonic now becomes available to a whole new group of casual and hardcore gamers just in the time for the holidays."
Unfortunately I only have a crappy little white 2GB Nano, so I'll just have to rely on one of the 20,000 other things I have laying around my house that are capable of playing the game. *sigh*

Shift is a bit hard to take in hands on the first go, but once you pick it up you just can't stop playing...
The rules are really basic : click on the left, right, upper, or lower part of the screen (or press the direction pad) to have all the blocks who can move in that direction... If you form groups of 3 or more blocks, they'll disappear, etc...
To get huge scores, trying doing combos, not leaving a single round before exploding another group, etc... Easier said than done !

TangledBugs is a remake of the good old Untangle game !
Nothing special in this version, just the arcade mode for now : start by untangling 6 bugs, then 10, 15, 20, etc... Until you give up !
This is still a WIP version, an update should come soon with highscores and level selection screen.
For those who find the lower levels a bit too easy, press Ok/Enter (depending on your PDA) to skip a level...

MNPlight can be of particular interest for Linux users who don't have iTunes, but it can also be used by other users when they want to update their iPhone data when they are away from their iTunes computer.
If you keep using iTunes, you may experiment problems with the Calendar and the Address Book since modifications done on your iPhone won't be seen by iTunes. http://movenplay.gforge.inria.fr/

We already had an inkling that Apple was in talks with both NTT DoCoMo and Softbank to bring the iPhone to Japan, but a spokesperson confirmed today that Steve Jobs has indeed met with DoCoMo president Masao Nakamura, but didn't say when or exactly what they talked about. That's not much to go on, of course, but seeing as any phone on DoCoMo's FOMA network will have to be UMTS / HSDPA -- that's 3G, to all you keeping score at home -- we're keeping a close eye on this one.

Apparently, Nokia just hasn't swallowed the fact that the world doesn't seem ready (or interested, whatever the case may be) in a handheld gaming system / cellphone hybrid. 'Course, with all that PSP phone chatter going on, we guess the times could be a-changin', and Nokia definitely doesn't want to miss its shot at redemption. A fresh patent application from the outfit details a handheld device that acts as a phone, multimedia player and gaming machine, but rather than forcing users to feel as if they're handling an NES controller, this concoction provides two wings that slip down for added comfort. Whether or not this thing would double as an acceptable boomerang remains to be seen.

Nokia has announced another delay in its N-Gage First Access platform, originally scheduled for a November launch.
The pre-release version, delayed into December, was going to work only on Nokia N81 or N81 8GB phones and was to feature one or more games. Those with access to the application could post feedback and make suggestions on the company's forums.
Now, however, even the pre-release version of the revamped N-Gage platform has been delayed.
"We know all of you are eager to get started with N-Gage First Access, and we are just as eager to get it into your hands and start hearing your feedback. We have teams of people around the world, literally, working overtime to deliver this experience to you," said a statement on the official N-Gage blog.
"Unfortunately, as can sometimes happen in software development, unexpected difficulties can occur. We have been doing an internal run with more than 1,000 global testers this week, and during this process we uncovered an issue we feel we need to address.
"Overall, the games and service are working smoothly, but because of this issue, we feel we could not release N-Gage First Access before the holidays as planned."
While working on a solution, and carrying on extensive internal testing over the holidays, Nokia plans to "polish the overall experience" even as it readies more games.
Nokia released the original N-Gage, a combination phone, handheld gaming device, MP3 player, PDA, and FM radio, in 2003. A year later, a subsequent redesign - the N-Gage QD - removed radio reception and MP3 playback features.
The latest iteration of the N-Gage is an application, built into or downloaded to a supported Nokia phone, that acts as a central hub for content including games.

Release notes:
Yes you read right... It looks as if I have found a solution to the dreaded item view text wrapping!
This solution lets us keep the working links and all that fun stuff, while at the same time wrapping the text to fit on the screen.
Basically what I am doing is throwing in a div around all the text and throwing a style sheet on that div where I set the width to 315px.
I have also been making a bunch of fixes to help with some of the crashing that has been happening, so that should be nice also.
I will be releasing the new version on the google code site within the hour, and I will get it sent off to be updated in installer.app right after that. Now how long that takes... well some times its fast and some times its slow... thats all I can say...http://code.google.com/p/mobile-rss/

MNPlight can be of particular interest for Linux users who don't have iTunes, but it can also be used by other users when they want to update their iPhone data when they are away from their iTunes computer.
If you keep using iTunes, you may experiment problems with the Calendar and the Address Book since modifications done on your iPhone won't be seen by iTunes.
Changes:
iTunes: bug #4718 fixed.
Calendar: multiple calendars can be saved.http://movenplay.gforge.inria.fr/

MobileGTD turns your Series 60 phone into a GTD notebook on steroids
Features
Based on a simple file and directory structure (easy synchronization with PC)
Use your favourite file explorer to browse your actions
Usable as a simple inbox, allowing you to create projects on the fly
Searchable project list view
Project editing functionality (add/remove actions/infos)
Processing functionality (automatically find done actions)
Review assistance (find projects with no active next action and projects that have not changed for a certain time)
Compatible to GTDFiles
MobileGTD uses simple text files for projects. Each line in a project file can be either an action or an info. When adding an action to a project, a new line is added to the project file and a file is created in a directory structure corresponding to your contexts. If you e.g. create an action "Computer Download new version of MobileGTD" MobileGTD will create a file "Download new version of MobileGTD.act" in a directory called "Computer/". You can also use nested contexts, e.g. "Computer/Online/" to further structur your contexts. To avoid too much typing you can define abbreviations for contexts, you could e.g. define "26" to be expanded to "Computer/Online/".
You can then use any file explorer to browse through your actions and delete done ones. When processing projects MobileGTD automatically searches for deleted actions and sets them to done in the project file.

Apple's already given self-controlling individuals the option to limit their iPod's maximum volume level, but if a newly surfaced patent application is any indication of the future, your next PMP from the Cupertino powerhouse could actually tone things down for you. Reportedly, the app explains that software could eventually keep track of how long -- and at what volume level -- you've been listening, and if it determines that you could be damaging your ears, the volume could be automatically adjusted down for your own safety. Granted, there's no way to definitively tell whether Apple will or won't implement such a change, nor if owners will be allowed to disable the feature, but really, who could argue with software retarding the rate at which you go deaf?

Hollywood's classic Film Noir world creates an atmospheric backdrop for this story-driven detective game. Dirk Spanner and the Fallen Idol by Nokia Games Publishing brings classic detective gaming onto mobile devices with unique twists and turns around every corner.
Set in the stylish, yet seedy fictional city of New Haven, Dirk Spanner and the Fallen Idol comes to life through its comic book ambiance. Gripping yet funny stories of conflicts, romance and deception with plenty of movie stars, rip-offs, double-crosses, wigs and moustaches make this an entertaining game that will engage novices through to the most experienced game players.
"Dirk Spanner and the Fallen Idol will re-introduce the long forgotten detective game genre for mobile devices," said Dr Mark Ollila, Director of Technology and Strategy and Head of Games Publishing, Nokia. "With the combination of stunning visuals and enthralling storylines, players cannot help but be spellbound by this game."
Featuring Dirk as the lead private eye, players are propelled into mysterious adventures, battling an array of femme fatales and gangsters. From solving the mystery of a stolen statue and a brutal murder, to uncovering the case of an accidental penguin-related death, Dirk will not rest until the case is solved.
Players guide Dirk through mysterious assignments using the unique one-button, camera-based controls, giving players an intuitive way of exploring the city of New Haven. A jazzy soundtrack helps set the mood for each stage of the game.
Dirk Spanner and the Fallen Idol is expected to be available in the first half of 2008.

Players are offered their own 3D Creebi that does the job of caring, entertaining, feeding and breeding. This mobile game service also provides a promo and some virtual cash, enabling the player to customize their new friends as well as home with variety of accessories. Depending on the attention it obtains, the 3D pet tries to take on its own personality and appearance.
For instance, the pet will grow and become more independent, with the care persona. You are also expected to track their individual health meters that informs about its hunger or ill-health feelings.
“Nokia Games Publishing has brought a quirky game to N-Gage that appeal to all ages,” commented Dr Mark Ollila, Director of Technology and Strategy and Head of Games Publishing, Nokia. “With Creebies anyone can have the pleasure of owning a pet without the trouble of cleaning up the mess.”
Furthermore, Creebi has the ability to interact with other Creebies and play games through the Bluetooth technology. The Adoption Center feature helps the user to show off their newborns and even send their Creebi to new homes.
Nokia plans to offer Creebies on the N-Gage mobile game service by early next year.

Final Fantasy IV: After--Return to the Moon will be a free download. At least the prologue will be.
In an interview with Famitsu, the game's executive producer Takashi Tokita confirmed that the prologue to FFIV's sequel will be available for free on Japanese mobile carriers. He also confirmed that the game will feature 2D graphics, as well as the Active Time Battle system.
Speaking of returns, it seems that you will once again be able to play as Cecil, Rosa and Cid, along with new characters such as Theodore, Cecil's son.
Unfortunately the game is only available on Japanese mobile carriers, but hopefully we'll hear about a port of the game in the near future. Stay tuned for more details as they emerge.

Maybe we just turn a bit sentimental during the holiday season, but damn it, we'll admit to getting a little choked up over reader Claude M's well-planned, uber-geeky proposal to his girlfriend -- even if his method of choice did happen to employ the totally overexposed iPhone. Being the romantic fellow that he is, Clause spent what must have been numerous hours producing a video proposal in the style of those ubiquitous commercials -- as you can see after the break -- and then screened it for his sweetheart (probably on his or her you-know-what) while they were strolling around the area where they'd first met in college. We'd like to congratulate the happy couple -- she said yes, duh -- and encourage them to race over to our Christmas contest post, where they have decent odds of scoring a pair of round trip tickets for the honeymoon.

Looks like there may have been a possible leak of the next version of Apple's iPhone firmware, 1.1.3. According to Gear Live, it can now handle SMS to multiple recipients, the springboard (home screen) supports reordered icons and pagination (as well as web bookmarks), and Google maps gets hybrid view and that nifty cell-based location system. If this is all Steve plans to announce iPhone-wise at Macworld next month, we think there will be more than a few disappointed iPhone users out there. Then again, home screen pagination would kind of imply an SDK to make use of all those slots, so maybe the real news is under the hood.

Nokia's new N-Gage-as-gaming-platform concept was originally supposed to blow our minds in September ... and then November ... and then December ... and now – according to a Reuters report published today – it will be delayed into "early 2008" due to "delays in software testing." Nokia spokesperson Karen Tuutti explained, "We found one more issue which had to be solved before we could open the service." We presume that would be the issue of convincing gamers to pay any attention to the now comically delayed service.

iPVDasm is an iPhone port of PVDasm an 32bit disassembler.
Release notes:
The Proview (a.k.a PVDasm) Disassembler project is Free, Interactive, Multi-CPU (Intel 80x86/ Chip8) that includes many features which allows the user to perform analysis on the target image file. PVDasm currently support image files of executable files (.exe), dynamic executable images (.dll) and Game-Boy image files (.gb/.gbc). Proview disassembler is being developed now for over 6 years and the work has never stopped (might be delayed) since than. PVDasm is always intended to be a free disassembler without any profits what so ever, this makes Proview different than the other disassemblers' out there.
PVDasm has been coded by me in 2002, history can shows that the first Proview engine was developed as a side project and was integrated as a part of a packer identifier which was also coded by me and was released in the name and version of Proview v0.8. Later that year this has changed, PVDasm disassembly engine has recoded from scratch with the aid of Intel x86 Books and the online opcode decoding tutorials and information of The-Svin as a project for my university. Proview disassembler disassembly engine does not use any 3rd party code or any other disassembler's code and operates by its own code. Currently the engine decodes the Intel 80x86 (32Bit) architecture (and hopefully later on will support the 64Bit architecture decoding) and support the different operation sets such as MMX/SSEx/3D Now! More than Intel, PVDasm also decodes the Chip8 CPU (and old CPU with minimal set of opcodes) which was used year back for gaming.http://code.google.com/p/ipvdasm/

As the unfortunate trend continues, yet another kiddo has found their Christmas PMP replaced with something that's, well, not a PMP. In today's episode, we find a Washington, D.C. girl that unwrapped an iPod earlier this week and discovered that the only Apple product tucked within was the inner packaging. Instead, a clever note was stashed inside (presumably with a paperweight of some sort) that read: "Reclaim your mind from the media shackles. Read a book and resurrect yourself. To claim your capitalistic garbage go to your nearest Apple store." Oh, and just in case you really needed more than one guess as to where this thing came from, here's a hint: it was sold by the same retailer who passed on Wii demo units due to "safety" concerns.

Gizmodo has gathered conclusive evidence which confirms that the iPhone Firmware 1.1.3 update is 100% real. It installs only from iTunes using the obligatory Apple private encryption key, which nobody has. The list of new features, like GPS-like triangulation positioning in Google Maps, has been confirmed too. Apparently it will be coming out next week, but there's bad news as expected: it breaks the unlocks, patches the previous vulnerabilities used by hackers and takes away all your third-party applications.

Just yesterday we saw some pics of what was being touted as an iPhone running the as-yet-unannounced 1.1.3 firmware version, and now we've got word of some video proof from a pretty reliable source. Nate True, all-around modder and creator of the Walluminate light-up wallet, has a short vid up on his cre.ations.net site that claims to depict that handy home page icon rearrangement feature -- you know, the one that suggests an SDK to make use of all the new slots.

Not to say it's actually easy to get your hands on the rumored 1.1.3 firmware at this point, but in the event that you do, proceed with caution. Nate True, the guy that brought us a video walkthrough of the supposedly leaked goods, is reporting that he can't seem to downgrade to 1.1.1 or 1.1.2 after performing the install. Locked phones show an "Incorrect SIM" error -- a problem unlockers of yore are all too familiar with -- while previously unlocked phones can't be upgraded to 1.1.3 at all. Let's be honest, though: if you somehow managed to score a copy of 1.1.3, is that really going to stop you from going for it?

Sure, there's less than 24 hours before everyone and their grandmother can hop online and grab 'hold of the SIP-VoIP application, but if you won't be bothered with it unless there's proof that it works, you're in the right place. The crafty folks over at touch mods have videoed "the first VoIP call" made with an iPod touch, the aforementioned software and their own microphone appendage. Granted, the dialogue is about as uninteresting as it gets, but trust us, that's not what's important here.

Our iPhone 1.1.3 news has been blowing up the Internet. Quite a few people think the images in our iPhone 1.1.3 image gallery were fake, so we figured, why not put up a video? Here is our video proof that iPhone 1.1.3 firmware is, in fact, real. Any questions you want answered about it? Let us know in our iPhone 1.1.3 thread.
Meantime, the video shows you all the features that we have found (so far) in the 1.1.3 update. That includes the home screen shuffling and reorganizing of the icons, the multi-person SMS sending, the new “Locate Me” feature in the Google Maps application, Hybrid mode in Google Maps, and creating web bookmarks and putting them on your home screen.
At the end of the video, we show you the Gear Live custom painted iPhone that we will be giving away to one of you viewers, courtesy of Monster Cable.

Before you get all disappointed, keep in mind that this could be anything from a mock-up to a really awesome fake.
