Gadget For You

Mobile gaming has its promise, but it is limited to the phone model the player is using. Each game has a set of compatible models, and each version will not work on another. This is why is was understandable at first why games in the iPhone remain at the iPhone and games for Android are just for Android phones. Not anymore.
A few developers have threaded what we thought was impossible: iPhone and Android users playing at each other in live multiplayer mode. An example of this is Skies of Glory (pictured) by Social Gaming Network, an aerial battle game ported to the Android 2.0+ while keeping the ability to communicate with an iOS device–like the iPhone–using WiFi, 3G, or Bluetooth. Looks like this would be a stress reliever for fanboys of both sides as they gang up on one another, just kidding.
Other game titles that enable players from either side battle each other are Raging Thunder 2 from Polarbit, a high-speed driving race, and baseball title Homerun Battle 3D by Touch Arcade.

As expected, smartphone manufacturers are beginning to air their side after Steve Jobs said that every other phone has a problem in its signal reception when held in a certain way.

First to react was Nokia, saying–in a way–that they have toiled blood, sweat, and tears to perfect their antenna design over the years, even saying they would prioritize it over the phone’s physical design if need be (clearly a swipe on the Steve). They do admit, however, that giving Nokia phones a “tight grip” could mess the performance, although they have researched with great lengths to achieve optimum antenna performance, like trying to hold them with either hand or having the antenna at the top or bottom part of the phone.
Meanwhile, the makers of BlackBerry did a much angrier approach as co-CEOs Mike Lazaridis and Jim Balsillie stated that they do not accept how “Apple’s self-made debacle” is being covered at the expense of RIM. They add that Apple’s claims are “deliberate attempts to distort the public understanding” of the issue. Their end their statement with a jibe that BlackBerry smartphones do not need special cases to avoid dropped calls.
And just now, Samsung has issued their own reaction about the Apple’s perspective of the Antennagate. Using much polite words, the smartphone manufacturer from South Korea says the antenna of their Omnia 2 phone (pictured) keeps distance from the user’s hand. Samsung also add that reception problems have never happened–so far–and hopes such problems will not happen in the future.
No matter how it is delivered, the message is clear: Deal with your own problems, Apple. Don’t drag us into your demise.
