  • Android vs iPhone cross-platform play coming

    Click image for larger version Name: ios4-vs-android-operating-systems-0.jpg Views: 1 Size: 30.4 KB ID: 596328 It'd be pretty cool to battle it out against your mate, who foolishly owns an opposing mobile platform to your own. And that's exactly what the guys over at OpenFeint think, too. For those who don't know, OpenFeint is a match-making and stats platform used by a whole heap of iPhone and Android games, including the justt released Monster Dash.


    The next iteration of OpenFeint, 2.6, will allow users to send game invites via SMS and e-mail to anyone in their address book and play against them - even if you own an iPhone 4, and your buddy owns a HTC Desire. Executive Chairman Peter Relan explains; "One glaring problem with today?s mobile gaming community is how fractured it is across platforms. OpenFeint is bridging the gap between gamers... we?re going to roll out services that will help friends that use different device platforms play against each other."

  • PlayStation phone images leaked
    by rec
    A while ago we reported on the rumored PlayStation branded Sony Ericsson phone, complete with a concept image. Well it turns out that was scarily accurate. Now though, we also have some specs for you: inside you will find a 1GHz Qualcomm MSM8655, 512MB of RAM and 1GB of ROM.

    As previously disclosed, the device is said to run Android 3.0 and sport a unique Sony Marketplace allowing you to buy and download games, which may or may not be the same system and titles you can download for the PSP Go. This is strictly still a prototype model, but that's where we're at. And it's easily the most exciting mobile phone, handheld games system hybrid in, well, ever....
