Has anyone seen the Nokia N-Gage gaming console on the Nokia website. it Looks like a GameBoy Advance.
SE really need to make themselves noticed.

As i said in another thread, maybe SE and Sony Entertainment is getting together. It would be cool, wonder who will win that race. |

Will the games be cartridge based or downloaded java ones?
Who knows maybe Panasonic might team up with Nintendo, they already did the DVD playing version of the gamecube after all. |

The games will go on memory cards. That was highlighted in the webcast yesterday. It is also possible to download some. |

And it sports Series 60, on which already quite good games are available.
It looks really good! and it has integrated radio (given the button) and most likely MP3 capability.
Though I'd like to see the dimensions vs e.g. gameboy advance.

pretty smart - eh ehm - for a nokia - it's just a colour version of the 5510 & that was a rip roaring success....not - I'm sure this will sell well - it has 'that vibe' about it

@ orangeman.
I would kind of agree that N-gage is the small brother of 5510. But the gap between both is simply tremendous! Its not "just" a color 5510 
And there is no full keyboard. 6800 is also the small brother of 5510.
Anyway, I do like a lot the design of N-gage (much nicer than the GBA for instance), and as it runs Series 60, it will be really sweet for gaming! |

Well has anyone seen this.
http://www.the-magicbox.com/gaming.htm
- Ericsson has resumed the plan on developing the 64-bit mobile game machine Red Jade. The plan was once put aside last year due to financial issues, but Ericsson has made a new announcement in Asia last week regarding to the plan on launching Red Jade in 2003. The Red Jade will have a 64-bit CPU, which can process 3D polygon graphics, with a quality between PSone and N64.

Well all they say is 2003. But it looks like they will use this to combat Nokia's N-Gage. Already it looks like it has beaten it specs wise. |

Bullsh*t... You would believe anything
Red Jade no longer exists!!! The company disappeared after Ericsson pulled out from it.
Ericsson initially invested in it, but now it's over. Dead.
Red Jade, based in Paalo Alto, CA had designed the game console completely, Ericsson was just supposed to build it, market it and distribute it... But this never happened, and it won't happen. No working prototype is even known to exist.
But you can still try and connect to Red Jade previous website...

Good luck
There's also a couple of week old article on this...
