Solid Snake takes on his tiniest mission ever as Konami and Verizon Wireless deliver another iteration to the popular video game franchise for the mobile phone with Metal Gear Solid Mobile. The game is currently available for buy exclusively through Verizon Wireless.
Metal Gear Solid Mobile features breathtaking 3D character models and dynamic camera angles reminiscent of the console versions of the series. It also takes advantage of the camera functionality of your mobile phone by allowing you to use your camera to capture images and incorporate the image colors for camouflage in the actual game.
With all these cool features packed into the game it’s no wonder why it won several awards during the 2008 International Mobile Gaming Awards. The game was developed by Kojima Productions in conjunction with Ideaworks3D, using its Airplay 3.5 SDK to create the mobile platform title.
Verizon Wireless customers can buy Metal Gear Solid Mobile at the Get Fun & Games aisle in the Get It Now virtual store. The game is priced at US 4.99 for a monthly access fee or US 10.99 for unlimited use. You’ll need to get your hands on a phone which is capable of running the Get It Now application to access the virtual store.
For more information, you can take a look at the Verizon Wireless website accessible through the link below.

Toshiba hasn’t been crying over spilled milk thanks to the new Dynabook SS RX1 notebook - the first in the world to offer a 128GB solid-state drive. That’s twice what any competitor can offer so far. The best part here is we’re just starting with the features:
- 1.2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo U7600 processor
- Intel 945GMS Express chipset (with built-in GMA video card)
- 128GB SSD
- 12.1″ widescreen LCD with 1280 ?800 (WXGA) resolution
- Fingerprint reader
- Windows Vista
The historic 128GB SSD alone is sure to give us a hefty price tag for its Japan-first release by late March. But this is some sturdy investment. Four-feet-falls and coffee spills? The Dynabook can take them on with a magnesium shell and 100cc water drip capabilities. Check the videos below for Toshiba’s drop/drip demo for the Dynabook SS RX1 notebook.

Samsung’s got a thing for camera phones: it once released the world’s first 10-megapixel camera phone. What’s Samsung up to now? An 8-megapixel camera module.
Hold on, isn’t that a step back? Not so. This new camera module is only 8.5 millimeters wide. The size makes up for the decrease in megapixels.
Don’t let the cramped size fool you, though: the module is jam packed with features such as anti-shake, face tracking technology, and a smile shutter that takes a picture as soon as it sees you show off your pearly whites.
Samsung claims that the anorexic camera phone module is the thinnest one of its kind. We’ll be seeing phones equipped with this tiny baby sometime in the second half of the year.

If you’ve been to New York’s Museum of Modern Art lately, you might have noticed a new video there featuring Nokia’s innovative concept phone in action. Entitled “Morph”, this form-fitting mobile phone is made out of biomaterials and has the capability to monitor your health by “sniffing” the surrounding air and analyzing your sweat.
Morph is made out of a derivative of insulin as well as the regular silicon, metals and synthetic materials commonly used to make consumer electronics. Working on gadgets made out of living material such as viruses, silkworms, salmon sperm DNA, and even potatoes has recently been a developing trend among scientists.
While this kind of technology may still take some time to get into the market, its obvious uses can’t be denied as the rising price of fossil fuels demand the creation of substitute sources for the high demand electronics industry. Already, several biomaterial substitute fuels have been developed to offset the spikes in oil prices.

If you’re looking for a cellular phone to replace your aging unit, you might want to check out Nokia’s latest offering, a black N82. The cellphone will start shipping in a few weeks and is expected to retail for 400 (around US 631) before taxes and subsidies.
The Nokia N82 features automatic geotagging for photos taken with the unit’s 5 megapixel camera. This records (through the use of metadata) the location where the image was taken. This grants users to view and sort their images not only by date but by geographic location.
Considering the amount of data users will probably store on this unit, it’s nice to know that N82’s internal 100 MB flash memory can be expanded with a microSD card. The phone supports microSD cards as huge as eight gigabytes, a definite plus for those who insist on taking images of every location they visit.
The Nokia N82 also has a built in A-GPS unit, Wi-Fi and HSPDA support, Bluetooth support, and an MP3 player. While the white version of this unit has been out for a few months now, the features of this phone are still pretty solid.

Be careful little mouth what you state. Be careful little thumbs what you type. Think your text messages are only meant for you and the one who’s meant to read it? Think again.
In the US, text messages are quickly becoming a matter of public record that can be presented in court, something emails and paper records are already subject to, according to USA Today.
Groups in Detroit and New York are already pressing for it in their courts. States such as Arkansas and Texas have already supported cases that asked for records of text messages to be presented in court as evidence.
Some cases have only managed to retrieve text messages that have been stored in the cell phone’s memory. However, some groups who support an open government are advocating for logs of these conversations from the provider’s records be provided for if the original messages in the cell phone were deleted.
Charles Davis, executive director of the National Freedom of Information Coalition at the University of Missouri, had the following to say about the matter:
I don’t care if it’s delivered by carrier pigeon, it’s a record, If you’re using public time or your public office, you’re creating public records every time you hit send.
If every time a new technology emerges we’re going to argue it’s not a public record, then our view of public records is very cramped. If it’s not a piece of 8
