12:53PM Nick Broughall | If you were going to go to the trouble of modding your Nintendo DS, what would you do to it? Emboss your favourite frame from Watchmen on it?

12:32AM Sean Fallon | Call it what you will: immoral, unethical, unholy—it appears that a Norwegian developer by the name of Erik Kristiansen has actually managed to pull off Windows Mobile running on an iPhone.

We shall find out soon enough—Kristainsen claims that the hack is currently in beta with a January release in the works. [myPhone2008] More »
