Ah, here we go, the only thing in the iPhone’s lifespan so far that’s ever made me jealous of Apple users. Ever since it was announced, I’ve been plotting Dan’s imminent and messy downfall for getting to play a version of Metal Gear Solid 4, before me…
Yes, I’m talking about, of course, Metal Gear Solid Touch for the iPhone, because now, according to IntoMobile, it’s been given its full release, and the complete and whole game is ready to be played and downloaded.
However, needless to say, it’s not going to have the same gameplay mechanics or stunning visuals of the PS3 version (but then, real life often can’t replicate how good PS3 visuals are), but what you get instead, if you’re an iPhone owner, is 20 levels of what amounts to pointing and shooting action.
Basically, it sounds like Konami have taken the Metal Gear Solid experience, and shoehorned it into a much simpler gameplay concept, to make it work on a phone. So, it’s a tappy pointy shooter, set in the MGS universe, that follows the story of MGS 4 very closely, and stars ol’ grumpy-drawers himself?
Now, what I want to know is when they’re going to make versions for other phones. Windows Mobile’d easily be powerful enough to run it, from what I’ve seen of the visuals. And yes, I’m thinking Toshiba TG01 at this point, since it actually has 3D acceleration, as well as a 1GHz processor and a 4.1 inch screen.
Here, watch the video and you’ll see why I want them to port it over so bad…



Ahhhh, I love stories where people have accidentally run up massive, massive phone bills, but this new one has an added dimension in that the people involved were actually trying to send thousands of text messages.
It’s well-known that in 2009, touchscreen phones are taking over the world. Big ones, small ones, ultra-powerful ones, more fashion-conscious, slim ones. But up till now, there’s never really been what you’d call a super-cheap touchscreen phone. Well, I say up till now, because according to the Boy Genius Report, there now is one: the Orange Vegas.
You have to admire the Japanese. Not only are they one of the coolest nationalities on the planet, but they also make some of the most advanced gear ever seen by man. Playstation, Wii, Aibo, Nissan GT-R… All of them came from the land of the rising sun. However, they also have a penchant for making waterproof phones, for some reason (maybe they use the phone in the bath a lot?), and now Sharp have gone one step further, to create the world’s first solar-powered waterproof phone, according to Fast Company.
Over the last couple of days, some new rumours have popped up about Sony Ericsson’s plans for getting an Android handset out into the wild. Unusually, though, the rumours don’t agree with each other. In fact, they flat out contradict each other! The first came when the CEO of the big mobile magnate said that it’s unlikely we’d see a Sony Ericsson Android phone before the end of 2009.
Seems like all the big players on the internet are getting involved in mobile, these days, with the obvious one being Google. However, Facebook are out there in the mobile world, and now, according to IntoMobile, Wikipedia are making their play to get themselves mobilised.
With the Palm Pre all set to strut its stuff soon, fans of the original PalmOS have gathered in Hong Kong to give it a proper send off, as reported by Palm Infocenter. It seems a fitting end to the career of one of the operating systems that, basically, shaped the world of modern smartphones.
News for all the Apple fans out there, now, courtesy of the BoyGeniusReport. March 17th is all set to be the date that Apple unveil a sneak preview of their newest iPhone OS, version 3.0.
