LG looks to be the first company to cram some 3G into a wrist phone with the LG-GD910.

The device, set to be unveiled at January’s CES event, will bring all the functionality of a standard 3G touch-phone to a wearable package.

Passage, the poignant indie game that surprised and moved gamers and critics alike a year ago, has made its way to the iPhone. Passage, designed and programmed by video game artist Jason Rohrer, is hard to describe and even harder to describe without ruining the experience for anyone who hasn’t played it yet. Let’s just say that Passage crams more emotional profoundness into 100×16 pixels than all 400 milion hours of cut scenes in Metal Gear Solid 4. With no dialogue, explicit story,... Read More
