First iPhone game summit takes shape

While there are more than 10,000 applications for the iPhone, many of the most popular ones are games. A quick glance at the top 25 paid applications reveals that 18 are games; games comprise 14 of the top 25 free iPhone apps as well. And those ratios are likely to hold for the foreseeable future.

That's most likely what led the organizer of the Virtual Goods summit to announce on Tuesday the first iPhone game conference, dubbed the iGames Summit, slated for March 19 in San Francisco.

Sneak peek at the Sony Netbook

A full day before CES 2009 opens its doors to the media and trade, Engadget has managed to take a few of shots of the first Netbook from Sony, the VAIO P series.

Other than pictures, there is no new information on the exact specifications and price of this Netbook. But from what we can see, this may be the smallest 8-inch subnotebook in the market since it saves space by foregoing the touchpad in favor of a trackstick. Moreover, it is likely the widescreen format allows this VAIO to maintain a decent-sized keyboard as well.

We'll know more once the Japanese company officially unleashes this baby in the market this week.

Linksys wireless home audio system

Cisco Systems, which builds the gear that powers the Internet, is making a big push this year at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas with new products that will help consumers move digital media around their homes.

After hinting at a "digital stereo" product in The New York Times last week, Cisco unveiled the details of its wireless home audio system today, which will be released under the networking giant's "Linksys by Cisco" consumer networking brand. At first glance, the system--which is actually a suite of six products that will be available separately or in a variety of pre-configured bundles--bears a remarkable resemblance to the Sonos multi-room music system. Like the Sonos, the Linksys product has a large-screen remote and offers networked base stations designed to live in several rooms of the house where they can play digital music from networked PCs or online audio sources (Internet radio via RadioTime, Rhapsody subscription service in the US., and the AudioLounge premium service in Europe). The Linksys can also use a "zone" system, so different rooms can access different audio sources, or be linked together for synchronized playback of a single audio stream in multiple rooms simultaneously.
