Clinton Does The MWg Zinc II

Since MWg took over O2 Asia, we have not seen a bevy of new devices. In fact, as Clinton himself noted, MWg were rebranding O2 devices. Seems though, that MWg have stepped up to the plate and are tossing out some nice looking, original devices.

The Zinc two(II) looks to be one such device, and as Clinton notes it may take some getting used to, but it does look like a sweeter Tilt.

The biggest challenge with the Zinc II’s keyboard is getting use to the key layout.  Many items like numbers and punctuation are accessed with the Fn key which can take a bit of getting use too.  I fully admit that the first few days with it were very frustrating but after a week or so I was texting and typing with no more errors than with my AT&T Tilt.  The bottom line is give the keyboard a few days to grow on you.

It sort of  reminds me of a Razr keyboard/touch pad. Maybe cause the back light is blue?

Nice to see MWg forwarding the device designs and not sitting on the old O2 form factor!

Review: Insaniquarium Deluxe: Here fishy, fishy, fishy…

Editor’s note: Astraware recently released Insaniquarium Deluxe. It’s a revamped version of an old classic, and it’s the only aquarium game I can think of where your fish-raising efforts take a backseat to fending off alien attacks. When Astraware approached us about doing a review, I had an idea. Since we have more writers and readers using a greater variety of devices than ever at JAMM, we could cover more than one version of the game.

But instead of writing separate reviews for the same game on Palm and Windows Mobile, why not set up a conversation between a user from each? Besides, hardly any two people play a game the same way, and I thought it would be fun to compare notes. Heather and her Palm Centro got on board with me and my Axim x51v, and we let loose. Heather’s comments are in black below, and mine are in blue.

Let us know how you like this kind of review. We sure had fun writing it!

Lauren: Why would killer creatures from outer space invade an aquarium? I mean, don’t they have anything better to do? What do the aliens have against the cute guppies, anyway?

Heather: I’m not sure why aliens need to kill little fish. They are innocent! Must be pretty boring in space.

Lauren: The aliens have got to be pretty tiny to fit into the tank. Hee!

Heather: I didn’t think about the alien size, that is true.

Lauren: That’s it! A size inferiority complex.

Heather: Must be. Plus, I also think they are mad that they don’t have any legs.

Lauren: Killer aquatic alien midget paraplegics.

Heather: I think Spielberg is working on that movie right now.

Lauren: So, what’d you think?

Heather: I’ve had a lot of fun….fish everywhere…collecting money and feeding them…and figuring out what kills them!

JAMM ReLaunch Contest II

Well, I decided to take a break from picking winners today and instead shift gears a bit.  It looks like most of you have commented on the new theme, and we got a lot of great feedback.  But really, there is a lot more we want to know.  So, I figured we would change the rules a bit.  We’ll still pick three (or more) winners per day from this post, so keep checking back here.  What we want to know, though, is what would you like to see us review here at JAMM.  Take a look back through our review archives and tell us what programs, devices, or accessories you have a burning desire to know more about.  Again, each comment will count as one entry, and you may feel free to enter as often as you like.  Ready…set…COMMENT!
