Take the following information with the usual grain of salt; when it comes to speculation about Apple's intentions, nothing is ever certain until the esteemed Mr. Jobs is on stage, product in hand, delivering the pitch. This time around, we have word from AppleInsider that American Technology Research analysts are reporting that their most recent "checks" indicate impending capacity doubling for the iPod nano line-- to 4GB and 8GB -- as well as the addition of "basic video capabilities," in models to be released during the "September quarter." If true, none of these developments would be all that shocking, as the current nanos already have sharp little color screens, and storage boosts are just a natural part of any digital audio player's lifecycle. ATR's Shaw Wu also seemingly contradicted earlier AppleInsider info when he cited an anticipated June/July release window for the as-yet-unannounced 13.3-inch Intel-powered Macbook laptop, which AI had previously suggested would be available sometime before June.

Detective Zack Conner testified that ex-Gizmondo exec Bo Stefan Eriksson was indeed the (intoxicated) driver during the now infamous Ferrari crash this past February in Malibu, ruling out claims that "Dietrich" — Eriksson's imaginary friend — was behind the wheel. In addition to the DUI charge, Eriksson has been pegged with embezzlement, grand theft, and possession of a gun by a felon.
The gaming industry's bad boy is no stranger to the criminal lifestyle. He served 5 & 1/2 years in Swedish prison for assaults, threats, and extortion.

The makers of everybody’s favorite iPod-compatable alarm clock, the iHome, has released a new iPod docking station designed to accentuate the flair of your kitchen. The iHome iH36W is your standard alarm clock chock full of alarm clock features, such as FM radio, TV audio and those crazy weather bulletin channels, but with the added bonus of being able to dock onto an iPod.
The difference between the iH36 and its older brethren is that the iH36 is designed to be installed under a cabinet, making it perfect for kitchens and the like. Of course, the iPod charges while it’s plugged in. To top it all off, there’s even a motorized drawer that hides the iPod so as not to ruin the aesthetic of your carefully-designed kitchen. The iHome iH36, which is also compatible with the oft-neglected Shuffle, runs $199.99.

Apple Computer on Monday revealed it had renewed contracts with the four largest record companies to sell songs through its iTunes digital store at 99 cents each. The agreements came after months of bargaining, and were a defeat for music companies that had been pushing for a variable pricing model.
The music industry's big four - Universal, Warner Music , EMI and Sony BMG – were not immediately available to comment.

Via GamesIndustry
Glu Mobile has announced the signing of a new partnership with Microsoft, to develop and publish a mobile version of Bizarre Creations' acclaimed Xbox and Xbox 360 franchise, Project Gotham Racing.
The first two games in the series appeared on Xbox to widespread critical acclaim and considerable worldwide retail success. The latest game, Project Gotham Racing 3, was a launch title for the Xbox 360, and remains one of the most popular racing games on the next-gen console, with a range of tournaments and online competitions, together with additional downloadable content content including new cars, tracks and features recently announced.
Greg Ballard, Glu Mobile CEO, commented: "The PGR franchise revolutionized the racing genre by rewarding gamers for driving with speed, style and daring. Glu will create the definitive mobile racing experience by delivering this same exciting challenge optimised for the mobile platform."
"The Project Gotham Racing franchise is loved by millions worldwide, and we're excited to partner with Glu Mobile to give gamers a new platform to enjoy it on in the near future," added Edward Ventura, director of franchise development, Microsoft."
The mobile version of the game, which is set to include the instantly recognisable 'Kudos' points system that rewards precision drifting and controlled high-speed manoeuvres, will be available for a wide range of mobile platforms including Microsoft Windows Mobile, early in 2007. No additional information on the gameplay features have been released to date.
Glu Mobile is a leading wireless games and content developer and global publisher with a substantial portfolio of original and branded content from partners including Cartoon Network, Celador International, FOX Sports Interactive, Hasbro, and PopCap Games. The company recently challenged the dominance of newly expanded EA Mobile with an acquisition of its own, securing iFone - the UK's top-performing mobile publisher for the past two years - and subsequently adding a range of additional licenses such as Lemmings, Monopoly and Sonic the Hedgehog to its portfolio.

Dack posted this news/release:
SegaEmulPatcher
Category: Emulators
File Version: 1.0.0.2
File License: General License
Description:
Updated to handle SMD/BIn and directories
Sega Emulator Bodger version 1.0.0.2 by Dack
Whats new:
1. Support for Bin and SMD files
2. Directory option for mass conversion
3. Icon changed on all the created EXEs to show a sonic
4. CLI version included - param1 = input name, param2 = output name
5. UPX packed to make exe smaller on disc
Whats good:
1. Doesn't require anything else to be installed to convert
2. ICON looks pretty
Whats bad:
1. Emulator is still not very good - this seems to be down to not implementing save states (you'll see what I mean if you try converting some of the adventure games e.g. Might and Magic) Region checking does not see to be an issue - as JUE works as well as J
2. You still need to reset to get out - this is down to the emulator code having checks for each key being pressed and only checking the usual 8 (D-Pad and play/ff/rew/stop) - no easy bodge to get an extra keypress check implemented
Instructions:
1. Choose File mode or directory mode (File Mode button)
2. Choose an input file/directory (Input button)
3. Choose an output file/directory (Output button)
4. Press Write button
If you are converting a load of files over in the directory mode and want to cancel then just press the EXIT button

I've managed to get this app to compile and run on the Gizmondo successfully, which is a first for me lol. All I''ve done is resized the main window to fit the Giz screen, and also made it save the database file to the Flash Disk.
It's basically a wine database thing which lets you store information on your favourite wines. I know its not terribly exciting but I'm just getting started with C++ so don't expect anything brilliant lol. It's also got some bugs in it which I'll hopefully fix in the future.
You need the Remote Desktop app to be able to type stuff in and to select some buttons. There's a readme file included which has some controls on the Giz.

Two men trapped in a Tasmanian mine for more than a week are listening to iPods while rescuers prepare to start a new drilling operation in a bid to free them.
Drilling to free the pair, who are trapped in a cage beneath 12 metres of rock, is expected to begin at about 3.30pm.
The men, Todd Russell and Brant Webb, were trapped in Beaconsfield Gold Mine in northern Tasmania after a rock fall, which killed fellow miner Larry Knight, last Tuesday evening.
They were discovered alive on Sunday night and were finally given nutrition on Monday night when a small via a PVC pipe. Since then, they have had a regular supply of food, water, dry clothes and blankets.
Mine operators say drilling will take about 48 hours.
A digital camera has also been passed to the men so they can show rescuers and medical staff their surroundings and what is happening to them.
"They are able to point the camera around the various parts of their fairly cramped environment," Australian Workers Union national secretary Bill Shorten told reporters.
"That helps actually guide the rescuers to the best spot to rescue the blokes, so the blokes are helping to rescue themselves," he said.
If all goes well with the final stages of the rescue operation, Mr Russell and Mr Webb are likely to be breathing fresh air — above ground — on Friday afternoon.
Age reporter Gary Tippet said from the scene that rescue crews were waiting for the drilling machine's concrete base to set before they could begin boring through to the men.
Creature comforts
But Mr Russell and Mr Webb are still in good spirits, according to union representatives, after they received deodorant, toothpaste and other creature comforts last night.
The two miners had also been given music to keep them entertained while they wait.
Rescuers were in constant contact with the trapped men, mine manager Matthew Gill said in a statement released this morning.
"They remain in good health and have now received iPods so they can listen to their favourite music,'' he said.
It is believed that one of the men has asked for country music.
Concrete base
Mr Gill said overnight eight truck loads of concrete were sent down the mine to create an even pad for the Raise Borer which rescuers hope will drill through the rock imprisoning the two miners.
"That work was completed early this morning but the concrete needs time to cure,'' Mr Gill said.
"The Raise Borer will then be bolted through the pad into the rock beneath to ensure it has a stable platform. The positioning of the Raise Borer must be precise to ensure the bore hole comes out where intended,'' he said.
While hygiene appears to have been a problem for the men during the first days of their ordeal, water dripping down through the mine shaft and water sent down to the men by rescuers has allowed them to wash most waste away from the cramped cage where they have been confined.
Shrink-wrapped deliveries
The men are now comfortable and dry courtesy of some shrink wrap that rescuers used to help deliver fresh clothes to them. The clothes were sent down the nine-centimetre diameter pipe that rescuers have used to communicate with Mr Russell and Mr Webb.
Letters sent to the miners from their families are also helping them to endure the situation.
Tasmanian Ambulance Service northern region superintendent Wolfgang Rechberger today said the two miners were being delivered water every hour and food every eight hours.
"We have a feeding regime in place. They're getting water, they're getting food and we're doing our best to keep them in good spirits," he told reporters at the scene.
He said Tasmanian paramedics were liaising with the NSW ambulance service and other experts with experience in underground rescues.
Mr Rechberger said two paramedics were in the mine monitoring Mr Webb and Mr Russell at all times.
"They're doing remarkably well at the moment, we're very pleased with the condition that they're in," he told Channel Nine.
"Emotionally they're holding up very well at this point in time."

GameSetWatch has a piece up reporting on a lost title in the Halo universe. The game, slated for the Gizmondo portable device, utilized a unique control scheme. From the article: "... the game, had it gone into production, would have used the Gizmondo's back-mounted camera to detect motion and provide a 'mouselook'-like effect as you swiveled the handheld around, enabling the player to change the camera view just by physically rotating the machine. Whoa." This game has been rumoured in the past, but this time around GSW has the facts to back things up.

Noooo! Say it ain’t so, ATI. You were so well respected and always give us graphical geeks the prettiest booth babes and babe posters. Now you will disgrace yourself by teaming up with Nokia for multimedia purposes. It is a sad day indeed.
Today ATI announced the partnership with Nokia for multimedia development on mobile devices. Multimedia meaning music, TV, video and unfortunately, gaming. Most of the focus seems to be around ATI’s Imageon processor for 3D, video and audio processing. Nah, this doesn’t have anything to do with the N-Gage—yet—but anytime we hear gaming and Nokia in the same sentence we tend throw up a little bit.

As iPods are further integrated into cars, there’s a danger of users T-Boning some poor salary man because they were putting on “In the Air Tonight†instead of paying attention to the road.
Now Apple releases a patent for the iPod that tags each song, genre, artist, actor, and other relevant info with their audible equivalent. This means when you’re navigating the menus, the iPod speaks the name of the item you’re on so you never have to look down. Useful and safe.
But, er, Apple? The least you could do is spell Phil Collins’ name correctly. Now he’s going to drown you and sing about it at a concert. That’s so true.

Back before "Fast" Stefan Eriksson was crashing cars and lying to police, he ran a little portable gaming company called Gizmondo. Their scam? Defraud investors by promising them a way into the very attractive, and lucrative, gaming market.
One of their most effective tools was to promise a Gizmondo-exclusive portable Halo title. Gizmondo did have an arrangement with Microsoft Game Studios to produce some titles, including the popular MechAssault series, but Halo was definitely not a part of that arrangement. A former-Gizmondo employee told GameSetWatch that the title had only "a storyline and basic game structure at the very earliest stage of concept" and that it was all done "with a wink and a nudge to extract more cash out of the investors." Isn't that sweet?
It isn't all bad though: the engineers at Gizmondo managed to get code running -- using one of id's open-source game engines -- enabling the Gizmondo's rear-mounted camera to control the "mouselook", allowing for a uniquely precise handheld FPS control scheme. Who knows what could have come of the Gizmondo if the execs weren't busy lining their pockets?

Via the Sun;
DOZY staff crashed a hospital’s vital computer system for TWO DAYS — by downloading songs for their iPods.
NHS computers which should be used to store patient notes and digital X-rays were crammed full of tunes.
Staff had downloaded the songs over the internet to the PCs for transfer to their trendy iPod music players.
The main server at the Queen Mother Hospital in Margate, Kent, was put out of action for 48 hours.
As well as music, staff jammed it with hundreds of videos, photos and games.
An angry patient said last night: “It’s a disgrace. How can they sit around downloading music when they should be looking after patients?
“By blocking up the system they’ve put people at risk.â€
After the main server crashed the hospital went on a go-slow.
X-rays had to be processed using film and patient notes were pulled out of hand-written back-up files.
Red-faced bosses at the hospital — which had to close a ward last month because of a £35million hole in finances — admitted the computer misuse had cost money.
A spokeswoman said: “Staff have been told that from now on any music or other inappropriate files will be wiped.â€

fangorn has released a new Neo Geo emulator for the Tapwave Zodiac, heres what he says:
<blockquote>Here's my NEOGEO emulator for the Tapwave Zodiac only. Runs at a fair speed and has extensive ATI graphics optimisations. Has its own memory manager so it doesn't need UDMH. It won't currently run the really big games but as the image shows below it does play that classic!
I was going to delay it until I could get the Cyclone 68000 ASM core running but I can't get the thing to work with NEOGEO. Once I get that running it will give it a big speed boost. 16bit games also aren't fully supported (freaky graphics) but most games are fine.</blockquote>

Vilmos posted this news:
Finally the new Cyclone core is working well for PalmOS! I can get about 99% of the games working. This is a bugfix version so the big change is stability in the Cyclone interface and the screen resizing is (hopefully) fixed up when using the status bar.
As before this version also has the ability to underclock the CPU and Audio speeds. They are on the launcher beside the CPU label, the first is CPU speed, the second is the Audio CPU speed.
Please let me know how stable this version is compared to the last one. I think it has good potential for a full release.

In the franchise of the Super Nanat, Bubu Kong and Alyssa characters comes a new mobile phone game called "Super Nanat Xplozion". Bubu Kong has done it again and kidnapped Super Nanat's girlfriend Alyssa. This time however Super Nanat has increased his arsenal of weaponry with explosives in order to get rid of nasty flames, blow up walls that block his path and generally increase the level of damage he can do compared to using just his trustry hammer... Bubu Kong has become even more of a berserker as he can break through walls now when he gets really ticked off... It won't be easy but surely Super Nanat can save the day (and Alyssa) again?
This game is available for over 100 of the most popular handsets as usual with Xing Mobile products. For more information on distribution, licensing and sales opportunities please visit www.xingmobile.nl

When the Beatles and Steve Jobs somehow both decided to call their companies Apple, someone would inevitably be singing the song “I’m a Loser.†In a court battle over whether iPods and iTunes will still be allowed to carry an Apple logo, a British judge ruled that Apple Computer has a store and a music player, and the music itself doesn’t have Apple logos on it, so there’s no harm, no foul.
Taking a conciliatory tone toward Apple Corps, the Beatles’ company, Apple CEO Steve Jobs held out the olive branch:
“We have always loved The Beatles, and hopefully we can now work together to get them on the iTunes Music Store.â€
But former Beatles roadie and now Apple Corps manager Neil Aspinall was obviously not happy with the decision:
“With great respect to the trial judge, we consider he has reached the wrong conclusion…We will accordingly be filing an appeal…â€

Critical has updated the Snes emulator for the Gizmondo, heres whats new:
NEW STUFF: transparency back on by default. Option to switch it off, along with sound emulation (menu options now exist). Load/Save states implemented as described below.
Up and Down on the joypad in the main menu select the menu item.
When on the ROM selector menu item, left and right select the ROM to load when PLAY is pressed.
Load/Save state operations may only be performed when the emulator has loaded a ROM and is paused.
This means that you should load a ROM as normal, then press HOME to go back to the main menu. You may now select either LOAD/SAVE state. Pressing PLAY performs that action.

Nokia today showcases the consumer experience of its new mobile gaming platform at the 2006 Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3). For the first time, visitors can explore the key part of this new experience – a pre-installed application which allows consumers to easily find, buy and play rich and immersive games on a range of Nokia Nseries multimedia computers and other Nokia S60 devices. These next generation mobile games are designed specifically for mobile devices which means they are quick to pick up, fun to play and hard to put down.

With this new mobile gaming experience available on a range of Nokia smartphones, we’re making gaming a core part of your mobile entertainment.”
Smartphones, such as the Nokia Nseries range of multimedia computers, are driving the growth of mobile gaming and are integral to Nokia’s mobile gaming strategy. With their advanced telephony and rich internet functionality, Nokia smartphones can provide the highest quality of connected mobile games that are always with you.
“We’ve also announced a strategic cooperation with Gameloft,” adds Kaidesoja. “By working with this leading games publisher, we´re making even more games available for Nokia device owners. This collaboration will improve mobile gaming experiences in our next generation mobile gaming platform.”
Gaming communities are another key element of Nokia’s mobile gaming strategy. The N-Gage Arena will be a core part of Nokia’s next generation mobile gaming experience as well as the SNAP Mobile Java activities.
“The ‘community’ aspect is an extremely important differentiator and all our next generation mobile games will be N-Gage Arena compatible,” continues Kaidesoja. “With the new user interface, the N-Gage Arena is only a few clicks away, providing access to your friends, rivals, heroes and other gamers. We want to not only entertain, but connect gamers to one another by allowing them to share game achievements and chat online.”
Nokia also announced its first range of games for the new mobile gaming platform including: Creatures of the Deep, ONE, Pocket Aces, Pro Series Golf, Space Impact and System Rush: Evolution. Demos of all new games are available on a range of Nokia devices at the Nokia N-Gage stand, situated in the South Hall, booth #900 at E3 2006.

Nokia showcases its first range of next generation mobile games at the 2006 Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3). Visitors to the Nokia N-Gage booth are the first to experience demos of the new games coming to a range of Nokia Nseries multimedia computers and other Nokia S60 devices, including: Creatures of the Deep, ONE, Pocket Aces, Pro Series Golf, Space Impact and System Rush: Evolution.
“Nokia is redefining current mobile games benchmarks by offering top quality games on a range of devices,” says Gregg Sauter, director of games publishing, Nokia. “Whether you have a few seconds to make a catch in Creatures of the Deep or a few minutes to fight to the top in ONE, we make it easy and convenient to get and play great quality games on your Nokia device.”
All Nokia N-Gage games for the next generation platform have been designed specifically for mobile devices, where multiplayer gaming and community gaming features via the N-Gage Arena come as standard.
In addition to showcasing the first set of next generation mobile games on a range of Nokia devices, the Nokia N-Gage booth will feature previously announced games such as Mile High Pinball, Habbo Islands and Shadow-Born. The new games line-up includes:
Creatures of the Deep
Creatures of the Deep takes you on a fishing adventure like no other. Travel through some of the world’s most exotic angler destinations, cast your line and catch boatloads of fish, sea creatures, and underwater items to store in your virtual live-well. The single player career mode will challenge you with dozens of quests as you freely roam the expansive fantasy and real-world fishing destinations. Sense the subtle bites on your lure with vibration feedback. Also, E3 visitors are invited to take part in the “Catch the N-Gage Fish” contest for the chance to win a 6-night/4-day fishing package for two at the Crocodile Bay Resort in Costa Rica.
ONE – Who’s Next?
In 2004, ONE set the standard for graphics performance in mobile games. Developed by Digital Legends Entertainment, ONE now brings the global fighting community and Nokia Nseries multimedia computers together. The sequel shown at E3 2006 features more advanced graphics, including real-time reflections, light glow and game play at 30 frames per second. Controls and playability are also pushing the boundaries, including adaptable controls and all new scenarios, some designed for landscape mode gaming. The graphics are best appreciated live at the Nokia N-Gage stand, booth #900 in the South Hall.
Pocket Aces: Texas Hold’em
Nokia ups the ante with a mobile version of this Sin City staple – Pocket Aces: Texas Hold’em. This poker game in your pocket lets you wager, raise the stakes and bluff your way to the top, or hit rock bottom – against friends and strangers alike. Single player and multiplayer Pocket Aces offers online tournaments, online head-to-head match ups, and rankings. Winnings in Pocket Aces have real value; players create their own gambler identity and use their winnings to customize their fully 3D avatar. In addition, the avatar learns the user’s poker strategies, and eventually becomes capable of playing on it's own!
Pro Series Golf
Do you have what it takes to compete on Pinehurst No. 2? Want to tee up alongside the historic views at the links of Doonbeg? Play Pro Series Golf, the most expansive multiplayer-mobile professional golf game ever, where you can challenge your friends or golfers around the world via the N-Gage Arena. Play as one of six professional golfers including Sergio Garcia, KJ Choi, Retief Goosen, Annika Sorenstam, Colin Montgomerie and Casey Wittenberg, and drive your way to victory.
Space Impact
This addictive Nokia arcade franchise flies to the next generation. You can customize your fighter with various weapons and battle more than 30 unique enemies, including explosive ballistic cannons and deadly energy leeches, while navigating across 10 action-packed levels. Dodge enemy projectiles to increase your power meter, or unleash devastating combo attacks. Win the missions to earn money and buy upgrades between battles. More than 30 different ship parts can be used to trick out your Skyblade. Collect extra upgrades by completing missions, or acquire exclusive power-ups from the N-Gage Arena.
System Rush: Evolution
Chase, shoot and fly your way to freedom in Nokia’s most distinctive futuristic interactive 3D racing game sequel. System Rush: Evolution – the latest and most visually stunning racing game to appear on a mobile device takes place in an authoritarian planet-wide “lock down”, where players are pitted against new network defenses and hacker bosses. The player possesses a new form of experimental technology to shatter the 10 newly installed network “firewalls” and prove to the corrupt governments that the flow of information will never be halted. Our hero is ‘hardwired’ into the system, effectively becoming a part of the network.

critical has released a Genesis/Megadrive emu for the Gizmondo Console, heres whats the info:
<blockquote>GizDrive 0.1.0
---------------
Gizmondo port by critical of PicoDrive, which was written by Dave.
Dave's home for it on the web is: http://www.finalburn.com/mobile/pico.html
It emulates MegaDrive/Genesis console.
The original documentation file in the doc directory of the zip file that this readme file came in.
This distribution includes the gx.dll distributed by Thierry Tremblay (thierry_tremblay@bigfoot.com). You must use this gx.dll rather than the one I distributed with my other GizSMS, GizSNES and GizNester releases. It should be backwards-compatible with those emulators too.
Contact: criticalhippo@gmail.com
Installation
------------
Put GizDrive.exe in the root of your SD card, along with the included gx.dll (replacing any existing one).
Usage
-----
ROMs must be in a directory called:
GizDrive
in the root of your SD Card. They must have the extension '.bin'
Buttons
-------
The joypad does what you'd expect. The other buttons are:
PLAY A
FFWD B
STOP C
* Start
During emulation, the home key toggles rom selector on and off, which will also
pause/resume the emulator.
Whilst in the rom selector is displayed, the STOP key exits back to the Gizmondo system.
Up and Down on the joypad when the rom selector is displayed will change the ROM that
will be played with the PLAY button is pressed.
This release doesn't have sound, screen scaling, or any of the other niceties that you'd hope for.</blockquote>

Despite Nokia's best attempt at a snazzy E3 booth and plenty of 3D game examples on display, the only real draw to their booth was the booth babes. A trio of the cute girls even had their very own line of gamers waiting to have a picture taken with them. Otherwise, the whole booth had a roughly 10:1 ratio of staff to visitors. The games really weren't that bad, and the 3D graphics are always interesting to see running on a random Nokia phone, but nobody much seems to care either way.

The designers at Thomas Pink must get their iPods jacked on a regular basis, because they've followed up on their nano-concealing tie with the "Commuter Shirt" that hides your DAP, cellphone, or PDA under even more clothing, and includes a second secret spot under one cuff for storing your credit cards. We're assuming that the demand for this shirt stems from the fact that today's mugger regularly reads Engadget, and is easily able to identify and snatch that signature pink tie right off the necks of unsuspecting businessmen. The less-flashy blue or white "Commuter Shirt" should help alleviate this problem somewhat by tucking that 'Pod into an inner pocket by the wearer's stomach, with built-in channeling to ensure snag-free movement. Now, if they can only figure out a way to hide that crease and lump in your shirt which muggers will soon be looking for on everyone not wearing a pink tie.

MPX Audio chose the big E3 get-together in L.A. to roll out its iThunder boombox, compatible with any iPod that’s ever been made. It’s got a couple of 4-inch speakers, a retractable boombox-style spring-loaded carrying handle and an infrared remote.
Plug it into AC power at home or load it up with a giant handful of eight C batteries for rocking out on the road. Available in your choice of white or black, it’s $200.

The Reaper2k Has ported Duke Nukem 3D to the Gizmondo, heres the info:
<blockquote>Was looking for next project, when i stumbled across Duke Nukem 3D for smartphone, after looking and searching around no source code , so i download the bin files, put my gx.dll with it, hack it about a bit, set up the config file, download shareware version, put it all together on sd card, run up the giz,
and this happened.
It worked
One problem, Duke Nukem 3D uses lots of keys , quick think and redo config file and i think i've got the basics covered
Keys:
D-Pad = Move Around.
Play = Shoot Your Gun/Enter key on menus, and "y" key on quit and stuff.
Forwand = Open/Use.
Rewind = Run, Use Inventory Item.
Stop = Jump.
Left Trigger = Crouch.
Right Trigger = Return To Menu.
Home = Move Inventory Item (Next), Map Follow Mode.
Volume = Next Weapon.
Brightness = Map.
Unzip and copy the Duke3d folder to sd card, use fireflys launcher, then you need the pc version's file "DUKE3D.GRP" shareware or full (full version not tested) and it has to be version 1.3d and maybe higher
Copy DUKE3D.GRP into Duke3d Folder then play.
Link to shareware version http://www.3drealms.com/downloads.html
Download Duke Nukem 3D "3dduke13.zip - v1.3d Shareware Episode (5785k) "
It dos and has to be installed to get the DUKE3D.GRP file, once you have it, you can delete duke3d dos.
Tech Info:
Sound is a bit choppy, Might be too fast for some, sometimes quits out (happen once so far).
To slow the game down, edit the "Duke3D.cfg" file and change "Platform_Timer_HZ = 210" to a lower number, E.G. "Platform_Timer_HZ = 180".
Allmost forgot, added 3 save game files, so you can overwright them with your progress, as you cannot save on a blank save spot cos you cannot type a name for it.

The rapidly growing worldwide market for Flash-based and hard disk drive (HDD)-based players is to jump from 140m units in 2005 to 286m by 2010, according to a report from market research firm In-Stat. Drivers for this market include falling price points, the availability of legitimate subscription and pay-per-download online music sites, increasing Flash memory capacities, and enhanced functionality.
In-Stat consumer survey data shows 49 per cent of MP3 player owners own an Apple iPod.
Sales of low-end, Flash-based players were especially strong in 2005, particularly in Asian markets where some players are priced as low as $25.
HDD-based models will continue to evolve into multimedia entertainment devices capable of audio, video, and imaging playback.

The Reaper UK has released his own port of Quake for the Gizmondo, heres what he posted:
Downloaded XChips quake source to try and make it run from a folder so i could have my Dooms, Duke3D and Quake on 1 sd card using fireflys laucher. First problem was XChip was using EVC++ 4, I use EVC++ 3 2002 Edition, so lots of errors pop up, quick fix later, now back to EVC++ 3, then on to fix it up.
Job done, Thanks to my GX.DLL port, this runs at a good playable speed, the only porblem i could find was saving the game takes a long time, you will think it has frozen, but it has not, just wait, but the save loads normal.
Unzip the Quake.zip then copy the "Quake" Folder to SD Card (SD CARD\Quake), the autorun.exe with this zip is fireflys launcher, so if you allready use it you dont need it, if you dont use it, then you need it, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH.
Put shareware or full game .pak files in SD CARD\QUAKE\ID1 Folder.

Mobile entertainment publisher Player X has announced that it has bought the licence from Hornby to develop Scalextric for mobile phones. The top-down racing game features a track editor and five different car models. There will be six tracks to race on, and a choice of Championship, Quick Race and Ghost Race modes. Players will be able to race against friends, upgrade cars and save their best times.
"We've been publishing mobile games from the very beginning and I've never seen a game that is more perfect for a mobile phone. The best mobile games have one-button gameplay and that's exactly how you play Scalextric," said Tony Pearce, Player X CEO.

We’ve been using Nokia’s N-Gage as a punchline to (extremely nerdy) jokes for years now, ever since we first heard about Sidetalking—long before the N-Gage actually hit the market and, you know, failed. Ewan Spence over at All About Symbian’s written a fairly long piece about how we should stop mocking the N-Gage and pay attention to how Nokia’s been using what they’ve learned about mobile gaming with the N-Gage platform to sneak improved mobile gaming experiences onto their incredibly popular S60 phones:
Putting [Nokia] up against the heavyweights gives a raw number of roughly 4 million N-Gages shipped, against 17 million PSP’s and a comparable number of Nintendo DS. But now ask yourself another question. How many S60 phones are going to ship in the next 12 months? Maybe 50 million? How many of them are going to be able to play these next generation of mobile games? Maybe 30 or 40 million? Those numbers are standing up pretty well against Sony and Nintendo now, aren’t they?
We hate to admit it, but Spence does make some sense. But we’re not going to give the Sidetalk jokes up, you’ll have to pry our love for them out of our dessicated little walnut hearts after we’re all long dead and buried.

Nihon Car & Bike came to us with a very interesting piece of news, Mitsubishi (Mitsu) sells in Japan a car called the “I†(you can find here a full test drive and some HD video of this car). And today Mitsu decided to bring a new version of its “I†the “Play Edition†where in fact you have a special cradle for iPOD nano. How it works? Well quite simple, you just have to plug the nano in the nifty cradle and there you go, you now can control and enjoy whatever music you have on your nano directly form your car audio… This as for today one of the most well designed cradle for a mp3 player in a car, well done Mitsu !

After plopping down $349 for an iPod Hi-Fi, what’s the next thought that pops into your head? Is it “now I need a leather carrying case� Probably not, but If you can spare another $295, you can conveniently schlep your high class speakers around town. The package includes:
a removable, padded shoulder strap, felt lining, and a small case for the Apple remote.
If we see you on the street with this thing, we’re going to rob you. That’s not a joke. Available in June.

We know not everyone is down with the idea of wearing goggles like the myvu to watch a movie or video, but it seems there are some people that like them, as evidinced by this very positive review from Mobility Site. They found the myvu to pretty much deliver on what it promises, with a watchable video image, long battery life (over six hours), and a comfortable design. Of course, people's definition of acceptable video quality will no doubt vary; the myvu just gives you iPod-native 320x240 resolution. And, as you can probably guess, while it's marketed towards the iPod video, it'll work with just about any video source. You'll have to decide if the $270 price tag is worth it to rock it Geordi LaForge-style.

John Carmack's new cell phone game Orcs and Elves, which debuted at E3 to some fanfare, has led the famous developer to think about expanding his mobile gaming presence. Carmack said in an interview with CNN that he is interested in a massively multiplayer sequel. 'I have absolutely no interest in going and competing with Blizzard in the high end of that market, but a cell phone version might be interesting,' Carmack is quoted as saying. Even more interesting is his comment in the interview that game engines really overlook security. The article indirectly quotes him as saying 'while id Software is especially careful to lock down its game engines, companies that license and make changes to those engines often aren't as focused, which could open the door to disaster.

Spoonatron posted this news/release:
Here is a fully working version of OpenJazz, a port of the original PC platform game Jazz Jackrabbit, for the Gizmondo
Installation:
Just unzip the contents of the zip file to an SD card (I recommend using FireFly's launcher since there are alot of files in the directory) and away you go!
Controls:
The controls have been mapped as follows -
D-Pad - Movement
Play - Jump/Select Menu Item
Fast Forward - Fire Weapon
Left Shoulder - Change Weapon
Right Shoulder - Exit Game
Ideally, I would have liked the fire weapon button to be Rewind but it would not work (more on that below).
Credits go to PocketInsanity for the PocketPC port (which this is) http://sourceforge.net/projects/pocketinsanity/
Special thanks go to Squidge for providing me with the buttoncfg.dat file, and Critical for his helpful advice

In an open letter to the Mac community, Jason Tomczak, the so-called lead-plaintiff in the iPod nano "Scratch" class-action lawsuit, says he never wanted anything to do with the case. The fact that he was named lead-plantiff was a mistake according to Jason, as he never sought out, nor hired the firms of David P. Meyer & Associates or Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro to represent him. Sure, he did respond to their request for information after Jason complained about scratches on his personal blog and within other Mac-related forums. However, Jason claims that the lawyers prepared the paperwork and filed the iPod Nano Class Action suit in California using Jason's name as Lead Plaintiff "without his knowledge or consent," even after Jason requested not to be involved, and without Jason signing an attorney-client agreement. On top of this, the poor kid's name has become synonymous with the class action resulting in threats, hate mail, and other forms of harassment from the more fanatical-types amongst the Mac zealotry. Jason is currently suing the two firms -- a move being met by the type of aggressive and staunch defense you'd expect from a couple of powerful and scheming law firms. If true, well, you just gotta feel sorry for the guy. So let's cut him some slack as this thing unfolds, aight?

Gizmondo Central Ported Transport Tycoon Deluxe to the Gizmondo Console, heres the info:
Have released a new version of TTD, music still doesnt work yet, but hopefully will for next release
Whats new
Sound FX now work
New stable version based on release 7 beta by esoft Interactive.
Runs smoother, mouse movement faster
Less prone to crashing
Things to do
Landscape Mode
Button Mapping
Music support
Mouse support within exe
---------------
This just goes to show that most people can get Pocket PC apps and games running on the Gizmondo, this literally took me 30 minutes to get up and running with a bit of fiddling here and there.
There is still ALOT of work that needs to be done to it but you can have a basic game, I've yet to fully test it out so any bugs/problems reported are appreciated.
It runs in vertical mode, emulating a typical PocketPC, which is a bit awkward controlling, but you can get used to it.
Load and Save also works.
Important: You need to replace the data files for the full game ones in order to play!
Install Guide
Put the TTD contents in the root of your SD card or in the games folder providing you have the required autorun in the root directory.
Next load up GsFinder and run fakecursor, then locate and run TTD
Controls :
D-pad - Mouse movement via fakecursor
Play button - Select
To exit, select 'Exit' from load/save menu, will return you to GsFinder.
Things to do (probably not by me!)
Landscape Mode
Button Mapping
Sound, SFX

Children will soon have a compelling new argument when begging their parents for an iPod, as the music, movie, and audio book player is about to take on a new role: educational tool. Pearson Education has just announced plans to release downloadable study guides (for use with Pearson texts, naturally) and audible review notes for exam preparation that may convince even the strictest parents to acquiesce and let the little white trojan horse into their homes. Not content with just the youth market, Pearson also revealed that it has purchased Apple's PowerSchool student information system, which is used by teachers and administrators to track student progress. No word yet on when kids can start using the "I'm studying!" excuse when told to take off their headphones in class.

These iPod speakers are so horrible they’ve wrapped all the way around and become good again. Kinda.
The DJ is a cradle and speaker system that looks like a robotic DJ. Not an animatronic version of Candace Cameron from Full House—an actual DJ. This thing also shines lights and pretends to scratch the wheels of steel while interrupting your music with phrases like “Drop the Beat!†and “Here’s another FUNKit exclusiveâ€.

The official story: Apple had not returned requests for comment as of press time.
What we heard: Of all the products on the market, few engender as much fanatical loyalty as the iPod. Sony was clearly hoping for something similar when it introduced the sleek PSP last March, touting the fact it played games and video, while the iPod didn't.
Last October, Apple removed one of those advantages when it launched the fifth-generation video iPods. Since then, speculation has swirled that the Silicon Valley company is readying an iPod which could play things other than Brick and Parachute, two of the rudimentary games which come on the ubiquitous handhelds.
This week, GameSpot learned that there may be more to the Apple-game rumors than mere Mac-mad daydreams. A tech-sector recruiter contacted the GS NewsDesk with an interesting story of a prospective hire that got away. Recently, when said recruiter made an offer to a software engineer, the engineer turned the offer down--saying he was being "heavily recruited by Apple."
According to the engineer, an Apple hiring manager named Mike Lampell is heading up a group inside Apple's storied iTunes division. The group is specifically hiring for "C/C++ coders with a ‘gaming background.’" The engineer says the project in question was described to him as "super secret," and Apple would not even tell him the exact nature of it until he had been hired and signed a non-disclosure agreement.
So how credible is this story? The recruiter's credentials are beyond reproach, leaving the engineer as the wild card. Currently, Apple is only publicly listing one position with "game" in the job title, a "Consumer & Games Partnership Manager" in its Santa Clara, California offices. Strangely though, when one searches for a position with "game" in its description on Apple's job-listing database, no results come up--even though the Consumer & Games Partnership Manager position has the word "game" in the text. A fairly exhaustive review of the software engineer positions found none looking for game experience.
However, the mention of Lampell gives the story some credibility. Lampell is a known developer who used to work at LucasArts, where he was a technical director on several major projects, including Star Wars Republic Commando. Lampell was laid off in August 2004 when LucasArts culled its development department in the first of a series of cost-cutting measures. However, GameSpot could not confirm his current employment at Apple, since attempts to elicit comment from the company had gone unanswered as of press time.
Bogus or not bogus?: If Apple is doing game R&D, it sure is doing a good job keeping it quiet.

Want your Hello Kitty fix on something beside an ear cleaner? How about this Hello Kitty iPod Dock. An otherwise plain dock, save for the Hello Kitty-ness, this supports any iPod that fits the standard dock in 3-5G iPods. There’s even a line out jack for plugging into another stereo system or headphones.

sweetlilmre has ported Reminiscence to the Gizmondo:
REminiscence-0.1.8 port
keys remapped for Giz:
DPAD: move
Play: Enter
Stop: backspace (skip cinematic sequences)
Rewind: shift (use item run etc)
Forwards: space
LTrig: In game options
Volume: dodgy volume hack for three settings: off, half, full
SDL DoubleBuffer implemented, a couple of other changes, really nice source to port.
If you want the music download the original .mod files and name them mod.flashback-* e.g. mod.flashback-ascenseur
This is a clean port of the 0.1.8 source tree.
If someone can tell me how to generate a nice diff (I'm using diff under msys), a source diff will be available soon.
Make sure that all data files are in a "data" sub-dir from the executable.
This uses my port of SDL 1.2.9 and zlib.
Key mapping file to come...
Let me know how it works for you.

POP posted this news/release:
Hi folks,
here's a tiny SID player including some nice tunes and remixes for all you retro lovers
I have included a haxxored version of Reaper's loader to preload fake cursor and a nifty
pic for the ones using the original bootstrap. People who are using the thing commonly known
as "FF's launcher" will have to load the "load_SIDplay.exe" I have included.
This works very well, even speech synthesis is good. Unfortunately no exit possible
Have fun !
cheers,
p0p

In an interesting move, Nokia has decided to kill off the N-Gage hardware but carry on with the N-Gage name; a name branded as a failure by most of the gaming media. Still, Nokia has announced they'll be re-introducing the N-Gage as a gaming service for the Nokia network. You'll be able to download games that are very reminiscent of the N-Gage from their online service. This actually fits well into Nokia's statements when they announced the death of the N-Gage hardware. They said they would be focusing on their cell phones as a gaming platform in general, instead of just one or two

If the Hi-Fi was a little late-century minimalist for you, peep Speck's new SpeckTone, the only iPod dock with real-simulated 1950s design stylings to get your be-bop on, dig? It's not only old school on the outside; the $150 SpeckTone has analogue innards for a "richer" sound (somehow we have a feeling there ain't no tubes in there), a 4-inch sub and 28 watt speakers, as well as a green backlit volume knob to offset the glossy lacquered wood cabinet. It really was a different time, wasn't it?

Nokia has released the source code of it's S60 WebKit browser for mobile devices. Based on the HTML rendering components used in Konqueror and Safari, the S60 WebKit has a multitude of advanced features designed specifically for web navigation on devices with small screens. Nokia decided to release the source code under the permissive BSD license in order to promote adoption by other mobile device companies. From the article: 'the power and scalability of WebKit-based browsers and the highly permissive license under which the S60 WebKit source code is available make it a good choice for companies that want to add mobile web browsing to their devices. I think it will be particularly interesting to see how this affects Opera, whose revenue primarily comes from distribution of its own virtually ubiquitous embedded browser.

Myth or not, the story that muggers are specifically targeting folks with iPods has gotten a fair amount of press since it was first reported, and has convinced at least one police department to make a rather half-hearted attempt at returning peace of mind to the city's subway commuters. For the past three months, New York City cops have been offering iPod and other portable device owners a way to "register" their gear -- wherein the officers mark your hardware with invisible ink and copy down the serial number -- in order to provide victims with a slim but tangible chance of recovery. The two-pronged approach ensures that even if thieves figure out a way to wash off the ink. which is only visible under infrared lighting, they may not be wise enough to file off the serial numbers as well. So far, over 2,000 gadgets have been marked at Transit Bureau offices and tables located around the subway system, although the program has yet to help any victims recover their stolen goods, so it's probably not a bad idea to continue sporting your Thomas Pink tie.

In February, former Gizmondo executive Stefan Eriksson made headlines for being involved in a million-dollar car crash. Eriksson was arrested last month, and the Associated Press reports that today he entered a plea of not guilty to a number of the charges currently against him. For those keeping track, the charges now include three counts of embezzlement, three counts of grand theft, illegal gun possession, and two misdemeanor counts of drunken driving. According to the AP, Eriksson pleaded guilty to grand theft, embezzlement, and drunken driving charges, though it did not say how many of each, or what his plea was on the gun charge.
The embezzlement and theft charges stem from a trio of exotic cars (including the $1 million Ferrari Enzo that was wrecked in the car crash) Eriksson had allegedly leased in Great Britain and then illegally transported to the US. The gun charge apparently stems from a .357-caliber handgun authorities found during a search of Eriksson's Bel Air, California home. The gun was reportedly registered to a reserve Orange County Sheriff's deputy.
As for the drunken driving charges, Eriksson tested above the legal limit of alcohol after the crash. He originally claimed that a German man named Dietrich was driving and fled the scene after the accident, but has since reportedly admitted that he was at the wheel.
Eriksson isn't the only former Gizmondo executive in trouble with the law. Late last month, former managing director of the company Carl Freer was arrested on suspicion of impersonating a police officer in order to buy a gun. Freer allegedly flashed a badge he got from the San Gabriel Valley Transit Authority, claiming to be a police officer and a member of an "antiterrorism" squad. The SGVTA is a private company that assists the elderly by providing transportation. Both Freer and Eriksson left Gizmondo last October when it was reported that Eriksson and a pair of other Gizmondo employees had ties to Swedish organized crime.

Another hack in the grand tradition of Altoids tin usage, the Minty Boost hack from from Ladyada is a new external iPod battery pack that uses AA batteries and some design smarts to about double the battery life of your iPod. The last time we saw an Altoids-based charger for the iPod it was running off of some 9v batteries, making the hack a simple one, but not very efficient. By using cheap and available AAs, the Minty Boost should make quite the addition to your collection of iPod accessories -- as long as you can manage to follow along at home with Ladyada's detailed instructions. Luckily, she's quite thorough, and even has a kit available to make things even easier. Plus a little bit of fresh breath never hurt anybody.
