“Palm and Epic Games demonstrated Unreal Engine 3 up and running on the Palm’s webOS. It looks really awesome and the game developers have already a free access to it. Let the unreal games begin now! During the Game Developer Conference (GDC) Palm and Epic Games definitely succeeded in making an impression with the getting the Unreal Engine 3 running under Palm’s webOS. As you can see from the video below, the graphics and special effects look fantastic and the sheer gaming potential looks awesome. Earlier this week Palm released their Plug-In Development Kit (PDK), which specifically targets the game developers. It is a plug-in for the webOS SDK that allows easy porting of standard and OpenGL (1.1 or 2.0) apps and mixing those with C/C++ code.The game developers are welcomed to download the Unreal Development Kit and build games with Unreal Engine 3 and now that the Palm’s PDK is available, we expect to see some fascinating products in the near future.By the way the Palm’s Plug-In Development System (PDK) is a powerful tool for porting iPhone games to the webOS too, so we might see some popular iPhone apps ported to webOS very soon.The distribution possibilities for such “mixed” apps is quite limited for now, but it will be possible with the next webOS update.” via gsmarena.com

“David Rivas, a VP at Nokia, gives a nice walkthrough of the upcoming Symbian Three OS. It’s a fairly detailed look at the platform and there is attention given to the user experience, such as the customisable homescreen option. It’s also nice to see how much more finger friendly this platform seems to be. Performance is also given a look with some figures being touted, and which all boil down to something in the region of x3 the performance, in terms of graphics, over Symbian 60 5th Edition. It’s also good to see the general user enhancements being worked on and the flow of the OS over previous versions. Also worth noting is that they talk about ‘true multi-tasking’ instead of ‘freezing’ apps, a bit of a potshot at Microsoft over how Windows Phone 7 Series ahndles multi-tasking.” via mobile-review.com

Watch a four-minute video featuring comedy actors Paul Henshall and Mark Benton, stars of BBC Three’s I’m with Stupid. Paul Henshall, who is a Blue Badge holder, said about the new service: “I’ve used the online service before and found it great in getting me to appointments without wasting time trying to find convenient parking. The mobile version is great and it means I can get local knowledge on the go. I hope this film allows more people to benefit from it. Directgov’s Blue Badge map can make life a lot easier especially when you are in an area you don’t know.”
