N-Gage: where to find info?

[bonfo]

Hi,

I've heard that today at the mobile GDC Nokia have talked about the NGage 3.0.
So I've strated searching technical information on the Ngage 2.0, but i was not able to find anything. Could someone give me a link??

Thanks

there isn't really an N-Gage 2, it's more of a platform built into newer nokia phones. i don't think they've released any real specs to the public yet.

Mmmmhh. This makes really sense, cause i'm not able to find any information. So what i've read here (http://kotaku.com/gaming/n+gage/nokia-unveils-ngage-30-241566.php) ... ??

By the way... some tech. info on the Ngage 1.0 ??

i'm not sure if they are 100% accurate, though. IIRC both of my ngages (taco and QD) have about 3MB of built in memory, but i guess some of that could be eaten up by the operating system.

Erm.. 12-bit CPU?

Has there ever been such a thing? Much less one made in year 2000+.. Typo perhaps. Surely it must be 32-bit.
Peace.

Erm.. 12-bit CPU?

The Mattel Intellivision had a 10 bit word size. :smile: But the ARM9 core in the N-Gage is most certainly a 32 bit CPU.

No version numbers, just N-Gage. And as said below, it's no new device, it's a gaming platform (software) that will bring high end native gaming to a wide range of Nokia's S60 devices. Check out the video in that other thread for a preview:

You asked for more info on the upcoming N-Gage platform. What would you like to know?
