Chuck Norris Dropkicks Your Phone Wednesday, August 27th, 2008

Have fun at PAX, you lucky bastards!  Sure, you’ll enjoy playing Left 4 Dead and countless other awesome games, but will this be at Gabe & Tycho’s event??:

I tend to dislike mobile games as a rule.  If it’s not Tetris, why bother?  I found this on Kotaku today and Gameloft may have just changed my mind.  The video speaks for itself. ..and it doesn’t even need audio to do it.

iPhone 2.0 News Makes Me Yawn Wednesday, June 11th, 2008

 

This week, Apple announced the new iPhone 2.0 at the WWDC. While the addition of 3G is good (shoulda been there in the first version if you ask me), there’s a lot of disappointments:

No additional storage
No better camera
No camera on the front for videoconferencing
No additional RAM
No MMS
No bluetooth audio
No video capability
No turn-by-turn navigation
No copy/paste function

But… you get GAMES!!!11 Oh, and 3G is important, but not really a selling point since the data plan adds up to $45 to my existing $50 plan. Is it worth it? For some people, maybe. The drop in price will definitely convince a lot of people to buy the new iPhone. For me, I was hoping for some extra features.

Since I already have a Jailbroken iPod Touch, I have added a lot of neat software that gives me the ability to send MMS via email, and copy/paste functions. And, I’ve almost filled up my 16 GB storage. So what’s the incentive to buy an iPhone now? Will there be a SIM card slot in this new version? Maybe that will be a selling point for some people. I might consider it if it meant I can hook up my work SIM card into an iPhone and let my job pay for the data!
