In a somewhat odd but not entirely unexpected move internet search giant Google has unveiled their very own smart phone. Titled the Google Nexus One it is set to compete firmly with Apple’s all-conquering iPhone. The Nexus runs on Google’s own open-source Android software, the operating system of choice for a number of current big-name phone manufacturers such as Motorola and Sony Ericsson. While the use of Android will provide Google with a large number of downloadable and customisable applications straight out of the box it is still in its relative infancy compared with the goliath that is the iTunes App Store. The Android platform offers the Nexus some other cool but not unique features such as animated/interactive wallpaper and a wrap-around 3D cube feel to the edges, but it’s not quite ready to compete with Apple’s or Palm’s more polished fare just yet.

Braid your own

It seems that it really is the 80′s again. Recession, strikes, protests in the streets, leg warmers (well, pants tucked in socks for the same effect), writers in their bedsits trying to create the next big novel and bedroom game programmers. Oddly these nerds may be the storytellers. I’m a nerd and proud of it, however I notice trends too. Thanks to the iPhone, facebook apps and the XBox 360 developers kit (XNA) the chance exists for a single programmer to design and build his or her games. And maybe live off the proceeds. Some will take a technical problem and build a game around it (for example, building an infinite city, or getting the game characters to have realistic reactions) others will take on the social aspects of games (imagine a two player game that can only be played with those near you, beats passing notes in class, or … There’s more →
