Nintendo And Sony Gear Up To Fight It
Out Over Handheld Gaming 05/06/2004 12:55 PM
It must be fun to speculate when there's nothing much to go on. Wired News is talking about the upcoming battle between Nintendo and Sony for their next generation handheld gaming systems. The problem is that the details of both systems aren't expected until next week at E3. So, for the time being, we're left with speculation based on the little bits of info they've released and their expected target markets. Many people are already declaring Sony the winner, despite the fact that Nintendo has a lot more experience in this market (98% marketshare right now). The real question is whether or not that's defining the market too narrowly. If you define it as a segment of the overall video gaming market, then obviously Sony has a pretty good track record as well. Also, as the article points out, Sony's plan to go after the young adult market may be a lot more lucrative. Of course, there's a reason that we actually wait until the market speaks before declaring a winner, so idle predictions based on speculation might not be worth much.

Nintendo Copies Sony Who Copied Apple
With Retail Store Plans

Nintendo Copies Sony Who Copied Apple
With Retail Store Plans 04/06/2005 02:16 PM
A year ago, Sony decided to mimic Apple's widespread success with their retail stores by settin g up more retail stores of their own (the company already had a few). Now, it appears that Nintendo seems to think this is a good idea as well, and will be creating a Nintendo store in NY. Of course, it's still questionable how well these stores work for anyone other than Apple. Remember, computer maker Gateway tried the same thing and ended up losin g a ton of money before closing the stores down. It works for Apple for a few reasons: mainly, that the company prefers to sell direct and has been de-emphasizing channel resellers for some time. This isn't true of Sony or Nintendo -- and the stores either upset their resellers greatly, or have to be priced way over the regular going retail price. At the same time, Apple's stores work because of the culture (maybe we should drop that trailing "ure") surrounding Apple products. The stores are designed to play up that culture and the whole concept of the Apple experience. It's not clear many other consumer electronics makers can pull off the same sort of success without the same level of devoted followers.

Sony PSP Video from Tokyo Game Show

Sony PSP Video from Tokyo Game Show 09/27/2004 10:49 AM

So something happened to me while I was watching this video of the Sony PSP from the Tokyo Game Show. I think it was in the middle of the Darkstalkers game that I realized that all my worries about battery life, size, and durability were sort of moot, because I want to play portable games that look like that right now. I'm not ready to call it the next portable platform winner, but if they can eke more than the rumored 2-3 hours of play time out of that battery they've got a very good shot at stealing the majority market from Nintendo.

First Trojan for handhelds now in the
wild

First Trojan for handhelds now in the
wild 08/06/2004 07:56 AM
A malicious Trojan horse program has emerged for Pocket PCs, antivirus companies announced but they characterised the threat as relatively low.

The program, known alternately as Backdoor.Bardor.A and WinCE.Brador.a, lets an attacker gain full control of the handheld and is the first such "backdoor Trojan" program to emerge for Pocket PCs. However, such backdoor programs are not capable of propagating on their own and instead must be sent as email attachments or through similar means, making them less dangerous.

Symantec rated the bug a "one," the lowest on its five-point scale. In a statement, the company offered the standard warning not to open or execute files from unknown sources.

"Backdoor server and Trojan horse programs often use enticing file names to trick users into executing them," said Oliver Friedrichs, senior manager, Symantec Security Response. The bug appears to be limited to devices that use an ARM processor and Microsoft's Pocket PC operating systems, Symantec said.

Last month, researchers identified the first Windows CE virus, which researchers said was mostly a "proof-of-concept" bug, or one designed to demonstrate its own feasibility.
