N-Gage is dead, long live the Ovi Store - full of Symbian games

Nokia plans to shut down the N-Gage platform. It's all going down in September 2010 but the publishing of new games has stopped as we speak. The gaming on Nokia phones will continue evolving under the Ovi Store umbrella.

The website of N-Gage along with the N-Gage Arena community will be left running throughout the whole 2010, while the N-Gage store will continue selling games until September 2010. After that the only place to buy S40 or Symbian S60 games will be the Ovi Store, which will come preinstalled on all upcoming Nokia devices. Nokia also promises to bring similar community options for the apps in the Ovi Store.

Of course, all the N-Gage games you've purchased so far will continue to work long after that.

Well, the N-gage platform delivered some of the best mobile games we've seen for Symbian smartphones and we're quite surprised that Nokia is ditching all the development losing a strong differentiating factor. We'll see how it goes, let's hope it is all for the better.


Move Over Iphone, Android Offers Online Casino Gambling

The IPhone has always been revered as the most powerful cellular phone on the planet, but even it has shortcomings. These shortcomings are exemplified by the new Android phones expecting to hit the market in November.


The Android phones are allegedly capable of running widgets, browser apps, and other such amenities that some online casinos require for playing through the browser. While you can download casino oriented apps and play for fun on the IPhone, owners of the Apple/AT&T love child are unable to play for real money through their phones. Androids should alleviate this issue, allowing players to enjoy real money gambling on the go, even more so than before.

Many of the Best USA Casinos allow players to play their games through flash based casinos. Be this one of the Rival Online Casinos or an RTG Online Casinos, flash based browser casinos are an option. When the Android hits the market, players should be able to pull up casinos such as Bodog and Sloto Cash Casino and play all of the best casino games they have available.

If all goes well, these Androids will be affordable, powerful, and open to many phone providers. Even if a player did not want to shell out the extra money for the new phone, many could consider it an investment - this could become the newest tool for online gambling. Rather than turn to a PC or a Laptop, the Android could become an all inclusive online casino.

BlackBerry Master Control Program 0.9.2 Beta 10

BlackBerry Master Control Program is one of those applications that isn’t for every BlackBerry user, however, if you are a moderate to power user, one of those folks who regularly installs leaked OSs and every cool looking BlackBerry application just to test it out, or someone who needs to easily create screenshots of your device, this is the program for you.

BlackBerry Master Control Program 0.9.2 Beta 10 has just been released and its creators have added a ton of new features:

  • MCP gets a major facelift!  Brand new graphics for the navigation panel and installers! – Thanks Shane!!!
  • Save Modules now allows user to create ALX/JAD for saved modules
  • Added Backup & Restore for third party applications (2 clicks)
  • Added ALX/JAD Builder with drag & drop window for building the module list
  • System tray icon right click context menu updated
  • By default MCP minimizes to taskbar now, not the system tray (clean installs only)
  • Left side navigation panel reduced number of icons dramatically (it was too cluttered)
  • Auto PIN checking is now at 3 seconds (clean install)
  • OS Management:  Added “Delete JVM” checkbox (if checked Application Loader will start with the /nojvm parameter which will destroy JVM on the device)
  • OS Management:  Added “Full Wipe” checkbox (if checked Java Loader will “Wipe” the device destroying any existing IT Policies prior to the OS installation)
  • Navigation:  Load/Erase/Save Modules used to be “hidden” under the “Java Loader” page, they are now in the main navigation area
  • MCP Engine updated to Java Loader 5.0.0 Beta 4
BlackBerry MCP is one heck of a program and you absolutely cannot beat the price.  BlackBerry MCP is free, however, it’s creators do accept donations and I strongly recommend that you do if you find MCP useful.
