Cloudbook modder, Azazel has done some extraordinary work to the Everex Cloudbook. His mod, called Dreambook, adds in a touchscreen display, internal 4-port USB hub, GPS unit and 4GB’s of flash memory. The webcam had to get the axe to fit all the new features under the hood, but we think it is a good trade off. Acorrding to Azazel, “There is a lot of room to work with,” and in that case, we demand the webcam back.

The images show the naked Dreambook mod, but it will definitely look a lot better once it gets back into its space wasting skin. All in all, it’s a great effort. |

According NokNok a meeting with Will Shen, N-Gage's head of production in North America, revealed that Nokia intends to use GPS and mobile camera as a useful feature in games. In fact, Shen noted that all the functionality of a phone may possess could be used to make a game more interactive. For example, the user can ask to take pictures that would be analysed by the relevant game using "smart techniques," then "feed" the images to a character in the game. Shen also noted that GPS functionality could be used for location-based games, but stressed that they want to make sure that it does not extend the line between innovation of tricks. Obviously, we will have to wait and see if we can remove any of this take-off, but at least Nokia fans should be very excited about the potential that the new N-Gage platform brings to the table. |
