Shocker: Nokia gets turtle shelled for showing off SNES emulator on N900.  Bigger Shocker: Why hasn’t Nintendo monetized the ROM business?

Perhaps it was a defiant “FU” to IP law. It could have been a simple mistake. Whatever it was, the showcasing of an SNES emulator and ROM running on the N900 belonging to Urho Konttori, Product Manager of Nokia, was begging for trouble from the start. And like clockwork, Nintendo has sent the legal hounds on Nokia to investigate how and why such thing happened. Nintendo voices the same opinion that many game developers and companies voice: that emulators and...

Nokia N900 get’s scared. Incubating until Thanksgiving

Nokia N900 get’s scared.  Incubating until Thanksgiving

Awesome. Another delay. This time it’s the Nokia N900. Sorry for more bad news but I figured you’d want to know, especially considering how pivotal the N900 is for Nokia. It’s by far the most impressive gadget coming from the Finish company in quite some time. Any negative news surrounding it will certainly make someone’s day a bit less cheerful. The dark tale comes from Nokia’s Head of Maemo Marketing, Peter Schneider. He goes on to...

T-Mobile’s New York 3G network super fast. Humming along at 2+ Mbps!

T-Mobile’s New York 3G network super fast.  Humming along at 2+ Mbps!

AT&T users may be left wondering aimless around the country searching for speed of any kind, but T-Mobile customers may not wonder very long. T-Mobile U.S.A’s 3G footprint while still pretty weak when compared to other big players is apparently helluva fast. Take the screenshot above for example. The shot was captured on a freshly baked Nokia N900 which Mark Guim from The Nokia Blog received as a gift after attending the Maemo Summit in Amsterdam. 2+ megs...

Nokia N920 makes still unreleased N900 old, outdated?

Nokia N920 makes still unreleased N900 old, outdated?

Hear that? That’s the rumor train haulin’ into your neck of the woods. On board is a fresh rumor that Nokia fans will take quite a liking to. Even though the N900 is still unreleased, if this rumor holds true, Nokia isn’t wasting any time moving on to bigger and badder fish to conquer, namely the HTC HD2. The N920 will feature a larger, 4.13″ multi-touch capable touchscreen as well as a slimmer body. Or so I would assume as the slide out...

Nokia N900 does it like it’s 2007 — No MMS Support!

Nokia N900 does it like it’s 2007 — No MMS Support!

Uh oh. Seems like all of those Nokia fans who bashed the iPhone for the last 2-1/2 years for not being able to send a simple MMS message are about to get a rude awakening if they had any hopes of upgrading to the N900. It seems Nokia is pulling an Apple and leaving the ancient technology out of their brand spankin’ new device. Ya ya, I get it. MMS is old. Tons of people now have IM or email support on their phones. Awesome! Many more don’t and rely on MMS...
