@TareG But they want access to snoop and search on everyone, without a court order. Quite different than what the U.S. does.

@PlatinumSkeet Yeah, Blackberry's not bad, but they've just been too slow to react to the new era of smartphones. Maybe even slower than Microsoft, depending on who can get their next OS version out sooner.

At least I can count on Google to be quick to catch up or even (gasp) lead in some areas.

@Nanosman1994 They're going from 512MB internal flash to 4GB of internal flash. Seems like an upgrade to me.

@CeluGeek Nevermind that the Aria is only a low-end Android phone to begin with. AT&T wouldn't offer a higher-end Android phone like the Evo, Desire, or Droid X.

Well it wouldn't be *fair* to Apple if other AT&T phones had features that the iPhone lacked. Next they'll be sabotaging the antennae of their other phones too, for fairness's sake.

The first person view is meant to be a handicap of sorts, but I agree that it's not implemented well. Maybe a behind-the-ship view would work better, and maybe more regular Asteroids physics.

This reminds me of Pac-Man Vs., which was one of those Gamecube + GBA games. The guy controlling Pac-Man played on the screen with the traditional overhead view. The ghost players used their GBAs and played in a first-person view. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pac-Man_Vs.

@MyTwoCopperCoins
Agreed, the screen could be a lot bigger. Though that would probably increase the price.

It's hard to get a sense of how big this device is, but overall it looks pretty terrible. Remember when Japan had all those awesome cell phones that we never got until months later? Those days seem to be over.

They don't tend to buy non-Japanese games much. Whereas North American and European gamers are more worldly in their tastes.

Clippy should be the final boss. Sure he's been out of work for a few years now, but that's just made him meaner. I hear he's been abusing that Windows XP search dog (you know the one.)

But it's important to show that with enough time an effort, PS3 games can look just as good as Xbox 360 games. That's the power of Playstation!
