Whatever you've been up to with your Eee PC, we're pretty sure it wasn't just limited to typing and surfing the web. If you're a power user, you might have tested the full potential of the Eee PC in games and similarly demanding software. But sometimes you wished you could do more than just up clocks and mess with configurations, and we hear you. Apparently, ASUS heard you, too, and they've just released official SDK for the Eee PC.

Snake takes on his toughest (and tiniest) mission ever as Konami and Verizon Wireless deliver the mobile phone game version of one of the most popular video game franchises with Metal Gear Solid Mobile. You can take a look at the details of this interesting game title in our full version.

Google has now completely debunked all rumors of a Googlephone, or Gphone, in their official blog, where they formally introduced their new open-source mobile OS platform: Android. It will be a joint effort by the members of the group known as Open Handset Alliance, comprised of companies, such as Motorola, Qualcomm, HTC, and T-Mobile.

With the Alliance, Google plans to develop a mobile OS "without the proprietary obstacles that have hindered mobile innovation".

We've gotten a few interesting bits of information on the new Sony mylo from sources close to the company. These are all unconfirmed, though, so until we hear anything official, we're tagging this report as a rumor.

Anyway, the biggest feature that we hear is coming to the second-generation Sony mylo is the possible integration of PSP software. So, will it be able to run PSP games or will it be limited to PSP firmware and applications? Whatever the extent of integration, it seems the PlayStation brand is spreading onto other Sony devices.

Another interesting tidbit is that Sony seems to be angling to get Sprint as a carrier for the new mylo. Of course, if Sony does get Sprint as a carrier, the mylo's price point could also go up as the original used WiFi networks to reduce connectivity costs. Here are more updates about the new mylo that we got from our sources:

• New E727 Half-mini card negotiation with Novatel (in-progress)
• Widget development activities (in-progress)
• SDK development (in-progress)
• Developer Program and Developer Community Website.
• RF technical support (in-progress)

Please keep in mind that these are all just rumors for now. We'll be sure to give you guys more updates as soon as we get them so keep checking back here.

Those who've been wanting to know the latest on the new N-Gage should pay attention to the Develop Conference and Expo 2007 in Brighton as Nokia is scheduled to dish out more details and information about the phone.

The mobile phone giant will be giving a total of three talks that should cover each and every facet of the phone. Probably the most important among these is the discussion on the software front-end and community features of the new N-Gage service.

The technical aspects of the new platform from a game developer's point of view will also be tackled as well as Nokia's overall drive to improve the entire framework of mobile gaming. The schedule and location of Nokia's part of the conference are as follows:

• "The Next Generation of Mobile Gaming?" by Martin O'driscoll, Business Manager (Games), on Tuesday, July 24
• "The N-Gage User Experience" by Scott Howard, N-Gage Arena Game Product Manager, on Wednesday, July 25
• "Developing for the N-Gage Platform" by Miikka Skaffari, Online SDK Product Manager, on Thursday, July 26

Microsoft, the biggest software manufacturer in the world have filed a lawsuit against the hacker that created FairUse4WM, the application which originally appeared in August. The application reportedly has the ability to bypass Windows Digital Rights Management (DRM) technology which is supposed to restrict the use of online purchased media to ensure copyright is not infringed. The FairUse4WM program strips DRM from Microsoft's WMA (Windows Media Audio) format of all copyright restrictions, allowing users to do what they want with the audio files.

Over the past month Microsoft has issued numerous patches in order to try and thwart the FairUse4WM threat, however the hacker, known only as 'Viodentia', has been keeping one step behind Microsoft, releasing new versions of the program when Microsoft update their DRM software.  Due to the promptness of Viodenta's releases, Microsoft claims that he has access to Microsoft source code and have therefore filed a lawsuit against him.

In a post on the Internet on Wednesday, Viodentia denied using any copyrighted Microsoft source code code, and as if in an effort to provoke Microsoft even more, released an updated version of his DRM-cracking tool. "FairUse4WM has been my own creation, and has never involved Microsoft source code," said Viodentia. "I link with Microsoft's static libraries provided with the compiler and various platform SDK (software development kit) files."

Is Viodentia an innocent person wanting the free distribution of data or a strategic hacker with a personal vendetta against Microsoft - Sound off in the comments!
