RUMORTOID: Achievements for Xbox 360 version of GTA IV leaked?Posted by: admin in GamingIt was only yesterday that everyone was talking about Sony’s downplaying of the Xbox 360’s episodic content
We finally got the official specs of the upcoming LG Vu phone. The stylish, all-touchscreen device will come in two flavors, with one of them CU920 sporting a mobile TV antenna and other one (CU915) coming without mobile TV support. Rest of the specs include:
LG and AT&T will most certainly go all official with the Vu next week, during the the CTIA Wireless. Stay tuned… [Via: PhoneArena] —
However, Verizon won't stop there at least when it comes to collaborating with FOX Interactive Media. Together, the two companies are preparing to roll out FOX's leading web brands to Verizon customers in the coming months to make FOX content more easily accessible to mobile phone users… Full “MySpace Mobile on Verizon” release follows after the jump. PRESS RELEASE - MySpace, the world's most popular social network, and Verizon Wireless, the nation's leading wireless service provider, today announced Verizon Wireless customers can now access MySpace Mobile on all Mobile Web 2.0-enabled phones. Mobile Web 2.0 subscribers can now click directly into the MySpace Mobile Web site from the Connect category on the Mobile Web 2.0 home screen, eliminating the need for customers to type in a URL in order to access the site. With MySpace on Mobile Web 2.0, Verizon Wireless customers now have the capability to edit MySpace profiles, view and add friends, post comments and blogs, send and receive MySpace messages — all from their mobile phones. “Millions of MySpace users have Verizon Wireless phones, and starting today we're giving them fast and simple access to our mobile site, at no additional charge,” said Brandon Lucas, senior director of mobile business development for MySpace. “Today's announcement brings us a step closer to fulfilling our vision that each user has access to MySpace, anytime, anywhere.” Ryan Hughes, vice president of digital media programming for Verizon, stated, “Our relationship with MySpace helps us connect our customers to their friends — with MySpace available on our Mobile Web 2.0 service, our customers can take MySpace with them wherever they go.” To access MySpace Mobile, Verizon Wireless customers simply open Mobile Web 2.0 on their phones, click on the Connect category from the home screen, and click on MySpace. On the MySpace site, customers can access a host of features, including:
Mobile Web 2.0 can be self-provisioned, eliminating the need for customers to call customer service or visit a Verizon Wireless Communications Store to sign up for the service. Customers simply register for Mobile Web 2.0 on their Mobile Web 2.0-capable handsets by visiting the News and Info category under the Get It Now menu on their phones. The availability of MySpace on Verizon Wireless' Mobile Web 2.0 service is part of a more massive agreement in which Verizon Wireless will distribute mobile versions of FOX Interactive Media's leading Web brands. Unlimited MySpace Mobile use is included at no additional charge with a Mobile Web 2.0 subscription. Unlimited Mobile Web 2.0 usage is included with a $15 monthly V CAST VPak subscription, which also includes access to V CAST Video, V CAST Music and Get It Now applications. Alternatively, customers can access Mobile Web for free with a Nationwide Plan but will incur usage charges of $1.99 per megabyte. As an example, 50 Mobile Web 2.0 pages equal approximately 0.6 megabytes. Customers should view their customer agreements or see a Verizon Wireless customer service representative for additional details as legacy plans might vary. —

Apple job listing hints at handwriting recognition for the iPhonePosted by: admin in Mobile News
You never know what's Steve's up to. Apple already have the handwriting recognition software in OS X and now they’re searching for a new person to help them out to extend the technology “beyond Max OS X to other applications and the iPhone.” Hmmm, sounds interesting, although we're not actually dying for a stylus on the iPhone. Here's the full text ad.
You can find the ad — and apply if you have the skills required — from here. [Via: Engadget Mobile] —
If, for some bizarre reason, you were looking forward to Prototype’s multiplayer features, then now is the time to retract pre-order plans and shake your fist in the air as if to futilely reprimand God for his sunken glory. The previously planned co-op component of Prototype has been scrapped, leaving it a game for loners only. Radical’s Tim Bennison explained that the dev team felt they would not “be able to pull it off with the same level of quality and polish that we’re aiming for with the original single player story.” TNA and WWE might be two totally separate wrestling entities, but they both happened to reveal the first screens and information about their respective videogames yesterday. THQ told us about WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2009, and Midway did the same thing with the TNA game they’re developing, TNA iMPACT!. Midway sent along a (really short) press release with two screenshots of the game; you can view them after the jump and below, respectively. There’s no word on whether they’re from the Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 version. Either way, the screens look good — and I dare state, superior than SvR 2009. Eight more images, along with a trailer and the game’s official forums, are available at the newly launched Web site, www.tnagame.com. I stopped watching wrestling when I was in high school for one reason or another, so I haven’t really been keeping up with the times. The last time I was really into wrestling, the WWE was still the WWF. Man, I miss the Rock ‘N’ Sock Connection… However, my colleague Gameboi is a big fan of wrestling, so he knows what he’s speaking about when he states, “TNA is where the once great wrestlers go to die. Even I can’t watch it.” Hm. Perhaps the game will be better than the real thing, then… You’ll be able to beat the crap out of your friends in TNA iMPACT! this summer on the PS3, 360, Wii, and PS2.
