Hey,
I guess how precious is the development of Coreplayer for Android!
lol, do we have any date for a working version??
I am sure that we are so many to wait impatiently this new application that will revolutionize the multimedia side of our "ANDROID" I hope that it will be as soon as possible!
[email protected]!D [email protected]!ON~
There's no official date yet, no. They were reporting that it wasn't possible with the latest NDK some months ago but I believe some progress has been made recently.
Two links for you to check out: -
The official thread for Core Player's Android development: http://forum.corecodec.com/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=2885
Core Player's Twitter account: http://twitter.com/CoreCodec
"Coreplayer developpers are working hard!!"
no they are not...
nope, they are still sitting on their ass, still no coreplayer Android.
Which are the Top 3 Video Players for Android ?
any Freeware ?
I use those (Summer player,Vital player, and Rockplayer) and they are availabe for free (with Ads) on the Android Market.
My favorite one so far is Summer Player since it's the most battery efficient among those and can manage to play RMVB codec based video better too.

I second that! They announced and demoed some sh!t for iphone 2-3 years ago, then said releasing soon, then jailbreak markets, then io4,than sh!t...vaporware... nothing yet...
announced android for ces...vaporware... nothing yet...
All you hear from CorePlayer support is everything ready, for the past one year, yet nothing out there...
If you have a product that is ready, just release it, and fix the bugs along the way... If you dont have a properly working product, dont spread waporware news just to stay up in the news... it will will bite u in the back later!
This company is nothing but vaporware! They may have something in the oven, but have not cooked and served anything but vaporware for the last 2-3 years...
I bet they are just 1-2 young developers living off their families' pockets... Else company that is developing something this long would go bust without earning anything...

Be mindful little one... You are spitting out buco ignorance.. Bottomline is you have no idea what or who you are talking about.
OEM is the core of our business... We have tens of millions of products on Andoid and iOS using technologies like CorePlayer. Just because it does not have our 'name' on it does not mean you are not using our technologies in those resective marketplace stores.
While we would like to publish newer consumer versions if CorePlayer, we have opted to instead focus our efforts on otherwise ATM. This does not mean 'we' will not release it to the public rather then licensing it to Developers for integration into their products, it just means not at the moment.
With CoreAVC 3.0 and CoreMVC 3D coming out in the next Few weeks we will once again focus in on our consumer efforts.
Focusing in something else "at the moment" is realy funny.
Darn long moment in my eyes.
You've been practizing this policy for more then 5 years.
Even the WM6 version was announced to be right around the corner for over a year.
Compared to coreplayer duke nukem was right on time
At your TTM I don't think you you will ever be able catch up with current development.
Good luck with it though.
P.s.: luckyly you can't delete unwanted posts in this forum, betaboy
Sean.... Did you not read what i posted? You are more than likely already using our technologies if you are using any if the leading solutions on iOS or Android.
@beta_boy
Can you tell us which apps use your technology? I'd really like to know.
you are spitting out buco ignorance...

I am sorry beta-boy, but did i miss anything different in your tone than in your PR releases?
I guess not... Same old buco ignorance in your own terms...
If you are so proud of your products, why not name a few out of the so called MILLIONS OF PRODUCTS on ANDROID?
Let me guess, I smell bull-crap! You are afraid to name them either because you dont have any products out there commercially, or the old debate about licensing issues... I m betting your so-called millions of products on android are based on no-name OEMs based in china where copy-right laws are as thin as air...

Back to the beginning again... Same crap again Vaporware. Android, 1.0, 2.0, now 3.0? iphone3g,3gs, ios 4? ios5? You say your code business is OEM? If it is so, than Why would you make bold PR noise for releasing products to mass market when/where actually you will never release, and say they are around the corner for the last 5 years?
A company so proud of its products, cant name a single one of their products out of the millions... I dont know what you call this where you are situated, but where I am, it is called bull-crap vaporware.
I am saying it again, I am betting you can not name it due to licensing/copy-right issues, or you dont have any! Prove me wrong, you wise BIG ONE. I am betting again, if you release full-featured codec support for android will not live very long, because of again, licensing issues, and you will be sued to your pants. Do I smell something? My nose never lies, there is something fishy about the core of your business, and hence all this vaporware...
Coreplayer was nice on WM5. If it is still "the fastest h264 software decoder" I sure could use it on android. But Betaboy, if you know it will never be released just tell us, or if there are other media players on the market using your tech, tell us which! Too arrogant an attitude you seem to have to your increasingly disenfranchised [customer] base.
Google is planning to buy Motorola.
Do you think this is good or bad news for Samsung and the S2?
See:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-14530543
I think it's great news. By bying Motorola with all it's patents, Google is able to countersue Microsoft, which wants a licence for every sold HTC and latest Samsung phones with Android. Google can then demand a licence for every sold Microsoft phone, or demand that Microsoft removes the licenceagreement for HTC, and stops the case against Samsung. So Google is in a better position, to defend it's licencees now, which they have promised.
So... bad news for Nokia and Microsoft, but great news for Android in generel.

But do you think that Samsung and HTC will become third class citizens with only Motorola having access to the latest leading edge software?
After all Google/Motorola will become competitors to Samsung!
No, i don't. And my reason is that Google live of commercials delivered through their products. By reducing the rest of their licencees, they risk to push them to the competitors, which in this case first and foremost is Windows Phone 7 - if that happens, they have no income. So Google should be interested in pushing as much licences as possible, and by betting only on Motorola would be a serious risk.
By placing it all on one horse, Google WILL loose money, as they don't sell as much advertisingspaces.
Furthermore Android will face a serious competition, when Nokia starts selling Windows phones. Nokia IS the worlds biggest phonepusher, but not yet on smartphones. Again a reason not to reduce the licencees, as they produce very capable phones, which even is posing a threat against Apple.
I really think that Google saw a problem coming up, as they did'nt get the Nortel patents. And even if they did, they could'nt use the patents to protect the licencees, as Microsoft were in on the same deal. So they had to do something to keep the money rolling in, by protecting Android and the licencees, and this was the way to do it...
Seems like to me Google wants to compete with Apple on the Hardware front... Altho I am not sure what this may mean for all the other android phone manufacturers becuase now they are also competing with Google directly rather than having a direct partnership per se...

This has nothing to do with the Microsoft patents and nothing Motorola has will effect the main MS claims. Its about protecting Android from Oracle and Apple. Oracle want money, LOTS, but the real danger is Apple who want bans. Apple are scum who buy patents to cause trouble, not gain IP for their own use.

Nokia was and had been number one in smartphones for many years until just one quarter ago. Its still officially second.
I don't think Google will be that stupid to buy Motorola and then suddenly stop releasing Android phones for other manufacturers such as Samsung and HTC..
After all, Android has such a big market share because different manufacturers are able to release the phones using the Android operating system.
Like suggested above, Google may be thinking of going head to head with Apple on both software and hardware front..
Also, it could be a way for Google to make sure no Motorola phones are released with other operating systems - which in turn gives Google more concrete operating market share and profit by selling Motorola hardware.
I think it is going to workout pretty well in the end.
oh, also, I don't think Nokia+Windows mobile is such a big threat.... for some weird reason, Nokia's customer service went dismal couple of years back and by the time I gave up using N97 end of last year, Nokia's customer service and support was basically non-existent. Also Symbian's support for basic 21st century functions - i.e supporting multiple languages etc still lags behind other operating systems... And let's face it.. Windows Mobile isn't that great either.
Today I have read an article that all currently running WP7 Smartphones will NOT receive an Update to WP8.
Instead they will get an Update to WP 7.8.
I am sooooo happy that we have finally running HSPL for our devices, so our talented devs will hopefully be able to make coustom roms WITH WP8 !!
Lets hope the best
The article is in german, if you understand that language check it out
http://www.chip.de/news/Windows-Phone-8-Das-kann-das-neue-Microsoft-OS_56171609.html
I don't think DFT or others can do something about this :
The main reason WP8 isn't going to current devices is that most of the new kernel will be built for multi core processors ...
I don't think this is something you or me or DFT could change ...
Of course I want to be wrong xD
Btw I am pretty satisfied with the 7.8 solution.
A nice WP7.8 custom ROM would be enough for me if we'll still be able to be part of the system.
The important question is about what features will be included in the 7.8 update other than the GUI change.
Yeah, we're screwed. I'm selling my Titan while I still can, nobody would want one a few months from now.
I will probably buy a freakin' iPhone because it holds its price pretty well and stick with it until WP8 phones become available. That is if I won't become an Apple guy in the mean time...
The question still remains.... Is 7.8 going to be the last update, and how long will it take devs stop making things and switch to native code???
Why develop apps for a old system? I know wp7x apps will run on w8, but w8 will have all new open api.
i heard so many times that there would never be a way to get wp7 on my hd2....... perhaps history will repeat itself
I can deal with the 7.8 solution. I just think its a bit awkward that they would market the hell out of the Lumia 900 (and rightfully so) knowing that a few months later they are going to announce that it is not upgradeable to 8. However, Microsoft had to do what they had to do and seeing the big picture, I think it is going to be even more phenomenal. What concerns me is that I wonder if HTC is going to even bother upgrading the Titan (which I currently own) and Titan II seeing that they really have no enthusiasm for the platform. And what surprises me is that they are on board with the initial fleet of WP8 phones. I think I may switch over to Nokia next time around. You can tell how wonderfully they treat their customers and they continuously get new stuff. We shall see.

I think the 7.8 update (if that's what you mean) is coming directly from MS so all current 7.5 handsets will be able to get it.
I'm almost 100% sure my WP8 will be from Nokia. I may even get a Lumia now, just because they look so cool & the apps are top notch. (hopefully prices on ebay will plummet after this announcement) Right now I've got a Titan II.

Guys don't talk like those trolls are WPCentral. We are on XDA-DEVELOPERS.
As an developer I would want to target mass market. When WP8 launches, even if with excellent traction what will be one's target market? 4 million? 5 million? in first 6 months?
WP7.x has 10 million+ strong.
WP7.x apps WILL run on WP8.
So I will be making apps for 15million target audience i.e. make an app for WP7.x and serve and earn more.
Only certain games that need multi-cores might be native coded but then we don't have that hardware, so MSFT hasn't screwed us.

I agree with what you say and I'm sorry to act like a troll but I'm angry because:
- WP7 lacks some important functionality which I hoped to get with the WP8 upgrade (VOIP integration, location background tasks, universal search, HTML5/CSS3 compatible browser, etc.)
- I wanted to keep my Titan for at least 1 year and now I have to sell it (while it still holds some value)
- if I knew the Titan would not get the update I wouldn't have bought it (I was naive, so my fault here)

Since you are on XDA I am presuming you know that the dev community will probably port in custom ROMs with WP7.8 before even officials are rolled out! Yesterday's "dev summit" means nothing to the end user. No end user features are released officially. We've gotta wait for the customer focused annoucements. Surely WP7.8 won't be a start screen only update. It will plug in most of the non-hardware dependant gaps.
And - if MSFT doesnt, XDA will.

Yes, but to what extent? Supposing that current devices were used for WP8 testing, there is hope for test build leaks. If not, the kernel/driver related gaps will almost certainly never be filled. Very difficult challenge to overcome and few developers will be interested to do it - especially true for the Titan which is far from being a popular device...
The way I am looking at this scenario is that any device was to be supported for 2 years.
I got my Titan Nov 2011 (launch was Oct 2011?)
So ideally, MSFT should support my titan till April 2013. The so called WP7.8 will add features, may be not high tech, most advanced features, but surely those that will make my Nov 2011 Titan much better than what I purchased. This WP7.8 won't actually hit our phones till Nov-Dec 2012, if that's when WP8 phones are to be in the wild.
Surely that refresh can last my phone for next 6 months. MSFT has repeatedly said they will be giving 2 major updates. Only the Lumia 900 and HTC Titan2 owners will see just one WP7.8, but all of us have seen Mango and now WP7.8
And what says, that we won't have a Tango-like minor update after WP7.8?
The fact that 7.5 is being pushed to 7.8 and not 8.0 shows that its two iterations lower than 8.0 (one being kernel change, second being ?) and THREE iterations better than 7.5. Surely a new start screen isn't worth making it 7.8. It could easily have been 7.6 unless ofcourse MSFT devs like fooling us with numbers (I don't doubt it! )
Also, MSFT will support us with apps for that period too. Devs won't make apps for an OS with zero user base. They will want it to start off with 10 million of us first. At least till June-July 2013, I don't see lots of WP8 exclusive apps that are not hardware dependant. Ofcourse there will be a huge influx of apps come this Christmas that will be exclusive to WP8 to show off its hardware capapbilities.
All in all, it is an excellent thing if you want WP to succeed and want to benefit from the whole "ecosystem" experience unmatched by any other OS! I am loving my phone and won't buy a WP8 till next summer. I am in love with my Titan and the custom ROMs have just started... possibilites are endless. We might be looking at a new HTC HD2

Here found this:
http://conversations.nokia.com/2012/06/20/new-nokia-apps-zynga-games-to-make-your-lumia-even-better/
Part that is of our interest -
"Elsewhere, you may have read about the new Windows Phone 8. How does this affect your Lumia? Well, you are not being left out. All Lumia smartphones will be getting an update to give you some of the features of Windows Phone 8, including the new Start screen, as well as a pattern of ongoing updates going forward."
When the summit was summarised, it was told that we will get continuing support from OEMs. I am inclined to believe that OEMs will dish out a range of updates for another 12-15 months or so for WP7 to bring it as close as possible to WP8. When WP8.5 is released, WP7 will truely be dead, which is OK.

it's really clear to me with my ics xoom tablet that gingerbread has not been abandoned. there are still few apps in the google play store that only work on ics or honeycomb. i'm pretty sure the same will apply for wp7.5/8 - as has been said before. why limit yourself to the people with one system when most apps will work on both. the only time this will change is if wp8 is a massive runaway success, which i'd be equally happy about
As far as markets go, being able to use native code means an easy port of games and apps to and from Android and iOS. If you could serve 3 markets with your app or just 1, which would you choose? WP8 means the end of apps for WP7 devices.
Microsoft could have chosen to port the kernel to our devices. People are like "well, the kernel needs multicore". Bull****. Windows 8 will run on a Pentium 4. You telling me they can get their desktop OS to run on 6-8 year old hardware but mobile can't run on less than a year old? The kernel doesn't matter any goddamn way. They could choose to port native support to our device. Apple did it with 68k to PPC and PPC to Intel, and with considerably less money and human resources. Embedded NT already runs on WP7 chipsets.
Microsoft is telling too many partners too many different things. First they say they are changing the OS to run on lower spec hardware, now they are saying the higher-end hardware can't run the next OS.

I don't think it is about hardware at all and MSFT never suggested so either. What they've said is the whole WP8 which can be scaled up and down is a big task and effort. From update point of view, packaging this whole new kernel update via Zune to us also means, that the noob on the other hand (not you and me) needs to know what to do. To wipe devices, to get the new drivers on, the new ROM and radio - not a normal update. I think MSFT could have spent a few months trying and testing things so that current gen phones can get this new kernel with "super update". But frankly, only a few thousand of us out of the suspected 12 million are tech-savvy for such an update. The bricks, the admin to support bricks would be an endless affair.
Also, OEMs. Convincing them to make new drivers to update current hardware would mean they can't sell more phones. OEMs want to sell phones. They want money, they will never choose update v/s new hardware. OEMs would also have to have support channels open for such bricks etc - again not good enough reason to put that effort on negligible number of users of this platform.
Above all, what I think the real, REAL reason is: Hardware. Current hardware although not outdate by any means isn't good enough to "exploit" WP8 kernel that powers a PC. The choice was:
Should we have a PC software run by mediocre hardware or should we launch it with awesome hardware that will exploit the new kernel? From business point of view, new hardware, new software = more attention grabbing.
My 2p
Then by your logic, Microsoft should never release anything but bug fixes. In fact, the opposite is happening. Microsoft is planning on bypassing vendors and carriers starting with Windows 8. As far as hardware goes, no ATT rep is going to push Windows Phone now, and it is already well-known that has been a problem as it is.
In fact, it would behoove vendors if Microsoft supported current generation phones because they could work on streamlining current production instead of spending the money on new designs. Do you think the most valuable company in the world (Apple) doesn't understand this? The 3GS will run iOS 6! Other smartphone platforms are basically saying if you want your hardware supported the life if your contract, you need to buy an iPhone...
Also, just an FYI, windows phones are all the same. They all use 100% identical chipsets and have almost no custom hardware. The only difference they have is in the camera and those are high-level drivers. Microsoft was notoriously strict with their hardware spec. Hardware partners did not write any drivers, the same way PC vendors do not write any drivers. It is all a partnership between MS and chipset manufacturers.

According to the site where I got that info, all currently devices which run WP7 wont get the update, so we should wait and see...
Why is it more apps are being developed for iOS and not android?? I personally think this sucks considering phones with android are dominating the smartphone market e.g android currently runs on Samsung phones, HTC phones, LG phones, Motorola phones, ZTE phones, Huawei phones as well as tablets such as Acer, Nexus 7, Galaxy Tab, HP Touchpad etc. I just get the feeling android is being left out. IOS runs on the iPhone and iPad and that's it....doesn't make sense to me.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Agreed. Fortunately I have all the apps that I need
Its because if you make a app on iOS it only has to really work on 2 or 3 devices which makes testing and making bug free much easier.
With android there are so many devices it can be hard to debug across all device and screen sizes etc etc.
For 'simpler' apps its not a issue but with bigger more complexed apps it can be a bigger issue and thus far more work for the dev
Apparently over 40% of IOS Apps have never even been downloaded once so I think the word Shovelware certainly applies.
Its still the largest single device out there, one phone and one tablet. I imagine it makes dev work easier, sort of like building a complex website that only has to work in one browser. Plus the way the media talks about the iPhone all the time, many probably think it has a huge majority of the market share.

There are some Nexus 7 commercials on these days, and back before Verizon got the iPhone they ran quite a few commercials with the OG Droid and Droid X. The iPhone is in nearly every new movie when a cell phone is shown. Its ironic because for years Apple embraced being different than the mainstream majority of whatever product they were trying to sell. Now the iPad/iPhone is about as mainstream as you can get since its everywhere.
What about the android shop in California....that must be the only store dedicated to an OS lol

Once Google opens a nexus store in every big city in the world and has more commercials, sues the heck out of everybody and mocks Apple then they will be more popular. Oh yea there are ups and down on both platforms. Apple charges 99 bucks a year to develop apps and publish them while android only charges 25 bucks. But like said above there are too many androids from 3.5 inch 800 megahertz processors to giant 4.8 inch phones with a quad core cpu. The galaxy note is 5.3" GEEZUS

They all look and feel the same, layout has been the same since day 1, their not very attractive, specs are a joke (4s is EXACTLY the same as the 4 just added a dual core 800mhz CPU and a joke piece of software called siri, which doesn't work half the time) and they have a cheek to charge £599 for a beefed up version of the iPhone 4!!! You must be kidding right??

I just picked up a Galaxy S3 and it cost roughly the same as a new iphone. Apple appeals to a broad consumer base as any idiot can figure it out, and most people only use their phones to talk, text, facebook, angry birds, etc anyway. They're usually stable, and just work. Android, however, claims the cake because it doesn't lock you into any single hardware manufacturer, and has the open-source backing. It just so happens that since the tv is lovestruck by apple products, most people clamor to apple cause they saw it on tv, and since apple has the outspoken user base it does (aka fanboys), it popularly perceived that ios is the most popular platform. And with that, most entrepreneurs are going to go with the platform they feel their products will get the most exposure on, which leads to higher revenue. Econ 101

I think you pretty much nailed it. Android being based on linux, and an 'open' system, alot of linux users/hackers use it, and there for do not want to pay for software, as with their computer operating systems. Now dont get me wrong, some people do pay for software, but if you can find a free alternative, or even better just create your own, why would you pay for it ?
With Apple products, basicly morons are buying it because they are told to, they think it is cool, all thier dumb ass friends have them, and so any software that is needed for it, they will pay through the nose for, just like their devices they have to upgrade before they have finished paying off the last one.
Forgive my extreme dis-like for Apple products. I just really do not like them.
It was long before the iPhone that I stayed away from Apple products. Their computers were and still are way overpriced when compared to the same specs on a Windows PC. Or you can build your own and save even more money. iPods are overpriced and you are forced to use iTunes. I've used Creative and Sandisk players that don't require any software as they were USB mass storage devices. I can write a simple batch file to sync two directories, I don't need a big program like iTunes. I remember one of my friends showing off their cool new iPod shuffle years ago, the model without a screen. Meanwhile I had a Sandisk player (forget the model) that had a screen and more storage space plus it costs less. I also had (still have) my Dell Axim x50 which still is a better MP3/video player than any iPod today since it has CF and SD slots and can play nearly every format with TCPMP.
Android was the next move for me after Microsoft discontinued Windows Mobile. Its the only popular mobile OS for power users left. Its a lot more stable than WM ever was, not responding apps will force close where as on WM you would often have to restart the device.
Unless Apple does something innovative with the iPhone, I predict it is on a sinking ship. Its an outdated device/UI after 5 years with little changes. After ICS, anytime I see an iOS device it just looks so outdated. There have been hardware upgrades but today's iPhone doesn't look much different from the 2007 model. The mobile market moves fast and those who don't keep up die off, look at what happened to Windows Mobile which didn't change for years.
One Topmost reason why Apps are more developed for iOS than Android:
The high-rated, most popular and mostly downloaded apps in Android suffers PIRACY ISSUE which is not acceptable to the developers as it incurs the developers a huge loss. Although it also happens with iOS apps, but their piracy rate is not that high as Android.
Also we must be thankful to the developers that in spite of these issues, they still develop good apps for us and make Android a better OS.

Nah dude I feel ya. You get the same (for the most part) applications for less to nothing, and if it doesn't have the exact functionality you're looking for, you can change it yourself. Apple doesn't even give the option to sideload whereas Android allows it even for a stock unrooted user. But where we see these drawbacks, it does make iOS much more stable because it's extremely difficult for iphone users to screw it up. But you have to remember, different clientele. The one thing Apple has going for them is their brilliant (if you wanna call it that) marketing. That's the only reason they've done so well, is because they've managed to make a cult of it and exploit that fact that people are half the time so pathetic they need some product/brand to represent who they are, and Apple has provided that branding for millions of people. I do some home automation/networking projects as a hobby, and I hate my buddy's macbook cause that thing leaves crap all over my servers, even if the shares are on major lockdown. And getting them to play nicely with media, forget about it.

Actually you can use an ipod with rhythm box, an itunes-like media player for Linux . I don't have one, so I can't say anything on its functionality. I had a windows phone on, if I remember correctly, a motorola que or something. WORST PHONE EVER. I got from a friend, but I was rebooting a good 10 times a day cause it would lock up or something wacko. In terms of iOS's gui, all they'd have to do is keep adding gooey nonsense and if the play it off as an upgrade, the apple kids will eat it up for the next 30 years without any need for advancing the base functionality. Honestly, I'm sure karma will catch up with Apple (as it did for Microsoft) and they'll bury themselves in crap. Don't know what, I'm just being hopefull
Really because the iOS users are the dumbest and will buy pretty much any app that is developed.
I joke I joke.
But really the reason is because a lot of developers feel that all android users do is pirate apps so they can't make a profit.

There are so many factors why apple appstore has more apps,
Firstly it has a quality control, so when your apple appstore app is approved, then its a thing to be proud of next, the payment schemes offered my apple is easier than android, and also, you just need to test on 2 or maximum three devices unlike android where you gotta test on so many devices to with so many different API versions and screen sizes.
Next , visibility of new apps is much much more on apple store compared to Play store.
And lastly, the play store's global reach is less!

Bingo. They simplify everything for quality control that they feel provides a better user experience, and to some extent it does. While it is extremely restrictive, it still provides the masses with simplicity, of whom don't know a motherboard from a graphics card half the time. Android is more of a Wild West of sorts, allowing the users to have more control of their environment. Then again, Apple proponents are more likely to pay stupid amounts of money for close to anything so they can be one of the cool kids whereas Android folk either couldn't/didn't want to afford an iphone, or are Linux people who aren't gonna be keen on paying for software in the first place.

Hi All,
I've spent the last 2 years trying to get in touch with the right people about getting this game back. Red Lynx told me they couldn't help, but this didn't stop me.
I used twitter and all the connections I have in the mobile sphere and finally managed to start a conversation with Senior Manager, BD & Partnering of Nokia.
The latest is that they would be willing to release the IP for the game and the code.
Basically it's at the stage of making a monetary offer and plan for the future of this game.
Not being a developer, I know need to find out how much it would cost to convert the game and try and work out what this code might be worth, currently I have no idea so can't make an offer.
As for the future if it's not me by perhaps someone else who manages to get this up and running great.
I see this game running on PC, iOS, Android and WP in it's original multiplayer form.
If anyone knows any investors developers and advice on what this might be worth please let me know.
Thanks
Chris

I was part of the team that created the game so I can say for sure that porting the code should not be a big deal. It was made to be multiplatform and even worked on both big&little endian systems. The bigger problem are the controls as the game was designed with hardware controls in mind. As for what the game's assets & rights are worth I have no idea.
There should be a way to replace hardware buttons without ruin the gameplay. The game really deserves to be on this new phones. Connectivity I way better, not that choppy as on my old Nokia N958Gb were I started playing it.

Enjoyed this game very much plus the replayability made it very unboring and the multiplayer, that was the funnest part. I think this will go out at WP OS soon coz now that nokia was sold to Windows
This game was awesome!
I really hope someone will buy the IP and port it to Android.
it could be a great exclusive for windows phone. I would buy a new phone for this game. What about change.org or kickstarter?
Why Windows phone exclusive? That's quite silly. It should be a multi-platform as many games out there.

That's because the rights to that game are held by Nokia which is now a part of Microsoft.
I would buy a Lumia if this games made available on WP!

I want it so bad. Wrote Redlynx a year ago and they told me that Nokia has all rights. Quite silly to not port it, but hey,..it´s Nokia.
I think if you don´t make a stupid free to play of it, it would be a great successor again. Very special and innovative game!!
