Perhaps of interest to Nokia 9210 and 9210i owners, Steve Litchfield has been experimenting with converting DVD videos for use on the classic Communicator. You can read his tutorial here.
Pocket Kingdom may be a massive ultiplayer game, but it's about to get an audience. You. Through "My PK," each player will have thewir own personal web page where anyone can watch their progress. And there's going to be a 24 News Channel, hosted by Reset Jen. Who said the N-Gage was dead?
