Nokia is still the leading mobile phone company in the world, but they are losing their market shares rapidly. Last year, Stephen Elop joined Nokia as their CEO and he showed Nokia a new light of hope. Earlier this year, Nokia and Microsoft made a deal that Nokia will launch WP7 powered devices and hopefully they will launch it this year. Well, Nokia is now holding an event next week in Athens, Greece, and Nokia want us to save the date. It looks like Nokia is bringing something special on May 17th, and I think they are finally planning to announce their first ever WP7 device. At the moment, nothing is set on stone so just take it as a rumor. I hope that whatever Nokia is announcing, it's good enough to impress their sad and happy fans.

Well folks, stay tuned with us because we will keep you updated. Anyway, what do you think Nokia is up to? Tell us!

App Store Spotted in 'Duke Nukem Forever' License Agreement

3:49 PM

Alright, so here's a weird one for you- Our forums are filled with all walks of life, including people who apparently read every last detail of end the user license agreements that 99.999% of the planet just scroll through as quickly as humanly possible before clicking "I Agree". Forum member Starjimstar just tipped us off to the following Duke Nukem Forever info-nugget that's got me scratching my chin.

If you check out the Duke Nukem Forever page on Steam, you can scroll all the way down to the view the manual link. Like most modern PC games, there's basically nothing in there aside from a list of system requirements, and a whole bunch of legal text. Reading this legalese to the bottom gets you to the "Apple App Store Additional License Terms."

Strange, right? The original Duke Nukem [99�] is already on the App Store, but could Gearbox potentially be planning an iOS release of Forever as well? What reason could there possibly be to include App Store licensing terms in a document for a PC game? Here's where things really get crazy- Per the FAQ, Gearbox isn't specifically stating which engine they're using, but it wouldn't be much of a leap to suggest they're using the Unreal Engine. …Which also is available for iOS.

Alternatively, they could be referring to the Mac App Store, which is newsworthy as well as the previously mentioned FAQ specifically states the lack of announcements for a Mac version. …But then there's the line that specifically states:

The license to the Software is a non-transferable license to use the Software only on an iPhone or iPod touch that you own or control.

At this point in the development of Duke Nukem Forever, absolutely nothing would surprise me. Conspiracy theorists, start your engines!

We just told you that HTC is making an Android tablet which will hit AT&T later this summer. Now it looks like both HTC and AT&T are on a roll and they are planning to launch several devices this year. PocketNow now got their hands on a render image of an Android powered HTC phone and its codename is HTC Holiday and it's bounded for AT&T. The design of the phone is similar to Aria, but it looks stronger than it. Most probably, the device will come with a front-facing camera and it will be compatible with AT&T 4G LTE network, sounds good. It is possible that this device is successor to Inspire 4G which was recently launched. About the launch, it looks like it will be out later this summer, maybe in July-August timeframe.

Well HTC fans, is this device good enough for you?
