I always wanted to go to Graceland but never got chance so hope it works out as I thought that in Chapter 7 bankruptcy rules that most property are sold which means I will never get to go!

Just had to type this as I just heard about it now and was amazed. Xx

Wonder if anyone is interested in golf or gadgets and is familiar with this:

I played a round of golf a couple days ago with a mate and she mentioned that Garmin are making a wrist watch Global positioning system especially for golf.

She said the GPS within the watch comes pre programmed with over 14k US courses and may monitor shot distance, hole, par and an odometer.

Has anyone heard of these or simply how much they are etc?

I’ve been looking for cheap GPS systems and this seems pretty streamlined doubled up as a watch.

Speaking of professionalism. TC might just get a zero for that.

Geez

These N-gage news are 2 days old now.

The main positive behind this news is that Nokia wants to integrate everything into Ovi ecosystem, so that Ovi store is a one-stop shop for everything.

My advice to TC: if you have a minimum sense of responsibility, take care about what you publish against companies or even countries or cultures, be aware that one day or another you may face severe legal consequences due to lack of responsibility and professionalism on what you publish.

N-Gage 2 failed because it lacked the advertising (beside lacking killer games, LIKE CERTAIN APPLE PHONES). I was surprised it still existed as native software in my N95, and I use to get to know every feature of the phones I buy, before handing out bucks. Still, N-Gage2 was just a bit better than Java games (some were even ports Java games…), making it an invisible optional.

Don’t forget what was N-Gage original idea: making a phone for enjoyment, beyond just gaming. It was the precursor of all the “joy phones” we have now, LIKE A CERTAIN APPLE PHONE. It wasn’t just about its games, it was mostly about hardware.
This was a 104mhz Symbian smartphone with AUX input, stereo output, native MP3, 3D videocard, MMC card reader, radio, decently big screen, great keyboard and speaker.
Very soon emulators for NES, SNES and GBA came, created particularly for N-Gage, and even DivX and Xvid players, thanks to its specs. Most of original NGage games were high quality and long-lasting, unlike the ones for N-Gage2, unlike all other phones out there today and unLIKE A CERTAIN APPLE PHONE.

All of this in 2003 for 300$, and for 150$ in 2004.

All other cellphones were still made just for calling and had 320*240 cameras. For 400+$. Them playing snakes, you playing Tony Hawk’s Skateboarding 2. Or WormsWorldParty, or Colin McRae Rally 2004… all of them with PlayStation quality. And even if these were never released, there was a lot of third party software to make N-Gage incredible.

No comment on the quality of the article.
Target audience was who wanted an MP3 and/or a gaming device (both rare back then). So it’s not so hard to understand which the target was… you just didn’t even try.

Next post, tabloid news on Motorola Droid! Is it LIKE A CERTAIN APPLE PHONE?

geez.

As for usage, has it occurred to you that a lot of those downloads from, say, the Apple app store are actually in respect of applications that come with other phones as standard?

Both may have failed to succeed, but you’d expect any analysis of why to a.) be aware that there were two separate N-Gages, and b.) to look a bit deeper than iPhone for the reasons why the second attempt failed.

“Who was the target audience again? Oh who cares.”. Well, someone trying to figure out what went wrong should care, surely?
