B'ngo The Name Of New Wireless Game Player
Watch out Nokia. You've already got some competition to your N-Gage, game-playing phone. A company called TTPCom has come out with the B'ngo device, which actually looks pretty cool. There will be some games preloaded, but most you will just download. It includes the ability to play multi-player games over both Bluetooth and GPRS. The article doesn't say anything about the "phone" part, but I guess that's not as important. It does say that it includes a digital camera. Either way, it seems clear that there are plenty of wirelessly connected devices in our future (and many of them won't see the "phone" as its main functionality). Update: The Register is running their own article about the B'ngo device, where they have some fun with it's name. I just wonder if the wireless company Boingo will sue them...
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
