Is Nokia about to announce a new N-Gage smartphone?
Nokia spent some time discussing the future of their N-Gage mobile gaming platform at 3GSM last week. The N-Gage as a mobile phone was killed off last year. However, N-Gage as a mobile gaming platform, incorporated into other Nokia phones, will live on. In an interview with GamaSutra, Jani Karlsson (Nokia’s Senior Manager for N-Gage) discussed how Nokia will improve the tools used by content developers to create N-Gage games, make the N-Gage more powerful as platform, and revealed that Nokia will be “announcing quite a few things at GDC [Game Developer's Conference]” next month.

More Korean mobile TV phones heading for Europe
New Korean phones always raise a stir, as the technology packed inside them is normally a good 18 months ahead of, well, everywhere else! Recently, however, an increasing number of Korean phones are making their way outside of Korea, and heading to Europe. Glorious! Continuing this trend is LG, who announced at 3GSM that the LG V9000 mobile TV phone with marvellous swivelling form factor will be heading to Europe later in 2006. And, just like Samsung, they’re keeping their options open with regards to the mobile TV technology to use. The LG V9000 uses them all (T-DMB, Media FLO, and DVB-H, though not simultaneously).
