Sony Ericsson is currently considering on Android at the moment, and they are planning to stay with Android by dropping Symbian. Sony Ericsson spokesperson Aldo Liguori told Businessweek that "We have no plans for the time being to develop any new products to the Symbian Foundation standard or operating system". SE Chief Creation Officer, Rikko Sakaguchi said that "Company had made a significant shift to support Android". Well, Sony is saying good bye to Symbian, but what about Windows Mobile?

It's not hidden anymore that AT&T is launching the Motorola Flipout, but only thing which is unknown is the release date. AT&T didn't tell us about the release date of the Motorola Flipout, but look what we have got here. As you can see in the image above, you can see a Motorola Flipout AT&T packaging which is shown up on eBay, and the guy is selling it for $388.88. Sure, this is not a contract price, and I am sure that the contract price for Motorola Flipout will be around $100-$150, I hope AT&T will bring it out in few weeks. So guys check it out on eBay.

Update: It's removed from eBay, but still we have an idea that how much the Flipout will cost without contract, and it's confirmed that it's coming to AT&T soon.

According to a tipster that contacted Kotaku, an official line of Angry Birds [99� / Free / HD] swag is coming next year. They provide the following spy shots of prototype plush birds spotted on the streets of Manhattan:

Angry Birds has been sitting comfortably at the top of the App Store sales charts for quite some time now, and seems to have nearly universal appeal both to gamers and non-gamers alike. We loved the game in our review, and if you haven't yet, you really should at least try the lite version of the game. We've heard rumblings for a while that Angry Birds developer Rovio was looking to turn the game in to something bigger than an iPhone game, and it looks like plush toys are part of whatever that master plan might be.

Either way, I'm not ashamed to admit that I'd totally buy a plush set of birds.

If you are on Alltel Wireless and looking for some good Android powered handset, then you might look at the Motorola Milestone. Alltel Wireless is now carrying the Motorola Milestone according to Droid Life and you can get it from your local Alltel store. Milestone is a GSM version of Motorola Droid. We all know that Motorola Milestone is a good handset, and it's quite old, but if you are looking for a good, reliable, and a budget Android phone, then Milestone is a great choice for you. If you don't like the Milestone, you better check out some Motorola Kings over at Verizon.

If you don't know about Alltel Wireless, then let me tell you that Verizon acquired Alltel Wireless in January 2009 for 28 Billion, but it's still active in 22 markets, so if you are in one of them, then you can get it. Otherwise you got Verizon on the other hand.

In the wake of how much fun I've been having with MovieCat!, I've been on the hunt for other trivia games to add to my arenal. It was at this point that I stumbled across Go Native! [99�], which offers an oddly amusing untraditional take on trivia. In Go Native! you play the role of a native trying to, well, fit in with the natives. Fitting in involves answering an onslaught of questions, but instead of needing to answer questions correctly, you're trying to guess the answer that the majority of other players picked.

This involves a silly thought process that forces you to decide whether the players you're playing with are going to answer questions seriously or just pick whatever the silliest response is to the question asked. You can play with up to 30 players at once, and questions range from multiple choice, simple yes/no, or even filling in the blank where you're able to type whatever answer you'd like.

The goal of answering questions correctly is to advance from island to island, collect coconuts, and eventually meet up with the legendary Princess Mango. Different islands have different risks associated to them such as islands with quicksand and questions that need to be answered quickly. There's also an island where instead of answering the most popular answer, you need to choose the least popular as well as islands that cause you to lose all your coconuts with a wrong answer among others.

It's a cool premise for a game, and I like the idea of playing in a pool of 30 players online racing to the finish in a crazy popularity-based trivia contest. Unfortunately, there's no one to play with yet. I've only ever seen a few players online, and when I originally thought the game I was in was filling up with active players, I was incredibly disappointed to just see the player list filled with generic bot names.

The developers of Go Native! seem to have fallen in to a similar situation that quite a few games dependent on online players have found themselves in. In order for the game to be fun, there needs to be a large number of people playing online, but without a large number of players playing online, the game isn't captivating enough to play against bots waiting for other people to show up.

If Go Native! takes off and you can actually participate in 30 player games without issue, I could see it being a really great time. Unfortunately, with so few active players, all that Go Native! seems to have is a whole heap of unrealized potential.

I saw some of the people dropped the T-Mobile G2, because they think that the 800 MHz processor in it is just a one slow processor. As I said before that the processor in G2 is a next generation processor, and it's better than the 1 GHz processor in Nexus One, and now I have a proof for it. After the break, you will see T-Mobile G2 running Quadrant, and the benchmark result is proving that G2 is better than Nexus One. G2 benchmark score is 1499, which is higher than Nexus One which is running on Android 2.2. Have a look on the video:

So folks, what do you think? Are you getting the G2?

We've been following Gameloft's upcoming Modern Combat 2: Black Pegasus very closely, as the original Modern Combat: Sandstorm [$4.99 / Free / HD] was a game that we enjoyed in our review and served to further raise the bar for first person shooters on the platform. Gameloft released a launch trailer today, which shows quite a bit of gameplay including a glimpse at what appears to be ten player online multiplayer� Complete with an experience system.

Normally I'd groan at such blatant "inspiration" from Modern Warfare 2's online multiplayer system (right down to how it pops up in the middle of your screen) …But, I played Modern Warfare 2 online like a maniac, and I'm not sure what it will mean for my social life if Modern Combat 2: Black Pegasus allows you to prestige. I guess we'll see when the game is finally released early next month.

LG is not only considering on Androids, but they are also working on WP7 powered phones. Yesterday, we saw a LG WP7 phone head to head with the Apple iPhone 4. LG is also working on another WP7 device, which is known as LG E900 a.k.a LG Optimus 7 (image above). A site name Mobilnania got their hands on the LG E900, and they made a long 20 minutes video of it. Well, the guy is speaking in Czech, so you can only understand it if you know the language. But you can still watch the video, because you can see the E900 in action, and yea it's in all languages. So folks watch the video after the break, and check out the images of the phone by following this link.

We already know that Samsung is working on 2 Windows Phone 7 powered phones (may be their working on other WP7 phones too), and they are known as the Samsung Cetus SGH-i916 and Samsung GT-i8700. You people may have seen the GT-i8700 a few days ago, and you may also have heard about the Cetus which is coming to AT&T. Our friends our at Engadget got their hands on a shot in which you can see the Samsung Cetus is head to head with the Apple iPhone 4 in the image above. There's a little confusion, the device model number is SGH-i916, which is a little different from Cetus model number we saw, but the design of the both devices are the same. May be the SGH-i916 is bound for Canada, and SGH-i917 is for USA, this might be true. So if� the SGH-i916 is the Canadian version, may be you will see it on Rogers, Bell, or Telus in next few months. May be this is Canada's first WP7 device, so are you excited our Canadian fellows?

Though almost every camera has its own built-in flash yet when it comes to professional photography then every experienced photographer will understand that using the built-in flash of any camera is like killing the real life of the final image.

This is why professional photographers use custom flash which is often referred to as flashguns. Recently at Photokina we've been enjoying the launch of plenty of camera acessories but no brand have launched any new flashguns.
The three new flashguns launched by Photokina are 24 AF-1, 36 AF-5 and 44 AF-1. The 24 AF-1 flashgun will cost you around 70 Euros and must be used with mirror-less cameras. The 24 AF-1 Mecablitz flashgun has been fine tuned for Panasonic, Olympus, Nikon, Canon, Pentax and Sony cameras.

The more pricier 36 AF-5 will cost you around 1000 Euros and comes integrated with wide panel. One more useful feature of the compact flashes are that they come up with manually adjustable zoom reflector. Once you adjust the focal length of of reflector to different positions (like 28/50/85 mm) then the illumination angle of 36 AF-5 is optimal.

The 44 AF-1 is slightly more expensive than 36 AF-5 and offers high power intervention in light requirements while clicking photographs.

If you didn't fancy the overly bling gold plated Porsche 911, this much more subtle Ferrari may be of interest to you. Thanks to Carrozzeria Zanasi of Maranello Italy, this one off super rare carbon fiber kitted Ferrari Scuderia Spider 16M is now up for sale at Ferrari Beverley Hills for a cheap $650,000. Though the Ferrari supercar isn't brand new, you wouldn't be able to tell from just looking at it.

The exterior of the 2009 Scuderia Spider has been given a full carbon fibre kit. Other features of the car include titanium exhaust tips by Tubi, a fully redesigned Alcantara and leather interior, full screen sat nav, front and rear cameras and factory wheels surrounded in carbon fibre (see picture).

The one of a kind Spider 16M has only done 126 miles which shouldn't even be considered as used, definitely a Ferrari that a collector would love to own.

The dual-stick shooter is an overcrowded genre on the App Store, but every once in a while one of them stands out from the pack. Developer Facet Studios is working on a new dual-stick shooter called Etolis: Arena, and based on their preview video it looks like it may just have a chance of standing out. Etolis: Arena is a space-themed game that almost has a Halo-like look to it, with metallic ship chambers and bright neon highlights. Rather than just one big open map like most dual-stick shooters, the levels in Etolis: Arena have a lot more structure, and are made up of different corridors and rooms.

You'll play as a soldier of the United Front Alliance who has been captured during an invasion of the planet Etolis by an army known as the Kraven. The Queen of the Kraven, Natus, has requested that you fight for your life in what is known as the Arena for her amusement. Battles consist of 3 waves of attackers per round, with an endless amount of rounds across 5 different maps. As you defeat each wave, the Queen will give you honor points which can be used to upgrade your weapons to take on the increasingly difficult enemies. The developer details some of the features of Etolis: Arena:

- Battle for survival on 5 different maps
- Use 7 different weapons and 3 grenade types to destroy your enemies
- Battle against 11 different enemy types
- Use 1 of 4 temporary special abilities for those emergency moments (invisibility, invincibility, self explosion, and endless ammo)
- Unlock secret information about the invasion as you play in different locations
- Leader boards and Achievements
- Compelling Music

Etolis: Arena is still one to two months off from release, but is looking pretty nice in the teaser trailer. The structured arenas seem like a fun place to do battle, and the game has a cool style and impressive graphics to complement this aspect. There's also a fairly fleshed-out storyline to accompany all the action, which can be rare in games of this type. More information and screens can be found in the upcoming game thread in our forums, and we'll bring you more news on Etolis: Arena as it becomes available.

It was just about this time last year that Apple introduced the 3.1 firmware update to the iPhone that allowed developers to access the built-in camera for games and apps. What followed was an avalanche of "Augmented Reality" games, or in other words games that utilized real-time images from the iPhone camera and added digital graphical effects over those images to create gameplay out of the environments in front of you. Unfortunately, nothing too spectacular ever emerged from this technology, and most games consisted of shallow gameplay with Space Invaders-type graphics slapped over the camera's view. There have been some interesting uses of Augmented Reality on the iPhone just to be clear, but as far as gaming was concerned it never amounted to more than just a gimmick.

Now it seems that developer Int13 is trying something a bit different to bring a more authentic Augmented Reality experience to the iPhone (and camera-enabled iPod touches) with their upcoming game ARDefender. The way ARDefender works is that you'll print out an image from a PDF file available on their website, and this special image will be read by the camera and create a tower where the image is placed. The goal of the game is to defend that tower from waves of enemies by moving your device around the fixed position of the tower to take aim and blast away at them. It may sound a little simplistic gameplay-wise, but what I really like is how convincingly the tower and enemies seem to actually be on the table, which can be seen in the video below.

We�previewed a technology very similar to that used in ARDefender way back in March of last year at GDC, but at that time use of the iPhone camera APIs was off limits to developers. The technology has also been used in the Playstation 3 game Eye of Judgment, and even in this incredible Augmented Reality tattoo. Ideas like this are obviously possible on the iPhone as well, and it seems like ARDefender is a step in the right direction. All I've ever really wanted from an Augmented Reality game is for it to make me actually feel like something is being created in the real life space around me, and by the looks of things ARDefender does just that.

It shouldn't be too long before we can get our hands on the game either, as ARDefender has already been submitted to Apple. Interestingly, the game has been available for over a month on the Samsung Wave, and impressions from those gamers have been positive. They've even come up with some clever ideas on how to use the technology, like printing out a huge version of the PDF image to create a gigantic tower and playing the game from an elevated area like a balcony, or pulling up the PDF on their computer at work and pointing their phone at it to play the game directly on the screen. We'll be sure to take a closer look at ARDefender when it gets released in the near future.
