Pingie: HTTP:: A Gamer 039 s Week 13 20 September

HTTP:: A Gamer 039 s Week 13 20 September
--------
The week that was is a perfect example of how video-gaming companies should not be communicating with potential buyers, as Nintendo is still saying nothing about the Wii price cut, despite the mounting evidence pointing to its existence. But other stuff also happened. Here are the essentials. Monday was the day when Toys R Us leaked an ad for a reduced price on Wii, but the other big news was that the Halo series would not be moving to Project Natal, the motion-tracking device from Microsoft, until the technology matured, which might take some time. Tuesday, the PlayStation 3 received firmware version 3.01, which was widely expected by users to fix all the issues caused by the previous 3.00 release, but was pitched by Sony as an optional update that improved stability. Meanwhile, LucasArts commented on the possibility of creating more Star Wars titles, with the X-Wing and TIE Fighter series were the first targeted. Wednesday was dominated by Bobby Kotick. In his full glo!
ry, he talked about how he was not expecting new video-game consoles in the coming year, because Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft had not talked to him about them and he also revealed that the new MMO project on which Blizzard was working was set to have a broad appeal, which might mean anything from casual to free to play.

Pingie: HTTP:: Sprint 039 s Hero Silicone Skins for Instinct HD at Best Buy

HTTP:: Sprint 039 s Hero Silicone Skins for Instinct HD at Best Buy
--------
Wireless carrier Sprint is expected to soon come to the market with two new, attractive handsets for its customers. One of them, the Android-based HTC Hero, should land on October 11, while the other one, Samsung Instinct HD, is expected to be launched as soon as September 27, only one week from now. The former is already official, and the latter is expected to be announced very soon, yet both of them made an appearance at Best Buy. The HTC Hero is the first mobile phone the wireless carrier will deliver to the market running under the Android operating system. Already announced to land on the operator's airwaves on October 11, the device can now be seen at Best Buy featuring a price tag of $599.99 without a contract, with the Coming-Soon tag all over it. For what it's worth, we should also mention that Sprint is expected to sell the handset for $179.99 on a contract, with a mail-in rebate, while Best Buy already announced that it would have it without the MIR. In additio!

HTTP:: New in Leaked WM 6 5 Build Series 23052 and 23412
--------
Windows Mobile 6.5 has just seen some new builds leaked into the wild and that add to the series of builds that we've already seen available for download in cooked ROMs for some of the WM-powered mobile phones out there. Among the new builds for the OS, we can count Build 23049, spotted a few days ago, as well as Build 23052 and Build 23412, which have popped up recently on the xda-developers forums. Following the leaked Windows Mobile 6.5 Build 23047, which came around with a series of finger-friendliness touches, as well as with a series of user-interface changes, the Windows Mobile 6.5 Build 23049 also includes a series of visual changes. Thus, those who will try out this build will enjoy square soft keys, a somehow darker theme, as well as better integration with Manila 2.5 (HTC’s TouchFlo3D UI). The next in line is Windows Mobile 6.5 Build 23052, which can be admired with an HTC Hero Android-like look. The build can be seen on the xda-developers forums here, and se!

In addition to the theme changes, it also comes with a relocated start menu, and might soon surface in a series of cooked ROMs, though none has been announced until now, it seems. Another build that emerged on the forums at xda-developers ...
