    To satiate my curiosity I probed Flashman’s site and found another project they have a hand in, Maxim Pinball. Zen Studios who brought Pinball FX to the Xbox 360 and Flipper Critters to the DS is developing the eight table pinball game. Like Flashman's other products this lacks a publisher, but Maxim Pinball is ready to roll on the PSP, Nintendo DS and/or the Xbox 360. While I think the concept of Maxim magazine meets pinball is self explanatory, the blurb Flashman wrote is amusing.

    MAXIM PINBALL for the Sony PSP™ is a pick-up-and-play pinball title featuring the kind of content expected from any product bearing the Maxim name: babes, sports, gadgets, fantasies…whatever fits the lifestyle interests of today's young adult male.
    MAXIM PINBALL will have 8 tables, each with its own unique theme designed to appeal to the target demographic, and an assortment of attention-grabbing mini-games integrated into the table designs.
    With its addictive, fast-paced gameplay, the ubiquitous Maxim brand, and a plethora of Maxim babes, Maxim Pinball provides a compelling experience that is sure to appeal to the PSP's™ core demographic: males age 18-34.
    Flashman client Zen Studios is the developer of choice for this game.
    Available to game publishers now for all platforms, including Sony PSP™. Nintendo DS, and Xbox 360.

    Staff at the UK's biggest mobile phone retailer, Carphone Warehouse, have been caught misleading customers about Apple's popular iPhone handset.

    Undercover researchers from BBC One's Watchdog found staff made false claims about what would happen if a phone was stolen and had not been insured.

    This was in the hope customers would take out the store's own insurance.

    The firm said there could be "some element of confusion among an isolated number of sales consultants".

    But Carphone Warehouse added it did not believe that the "small number of complaints" were "a fair reflection of the experience of thousands of iPhone customers who have received insurance advice in our stores".

    The findings come just a year after Carphone Warehouse was fined £245,000 by the Financial Services Authority for breaking the rules on selling insurance.

    Remember AM3 and its attempt at bringing downloadable anime to the Game Boy Advance? They're back with their latest product, and this time it's for the world-beating DS.

    The company unveiled today DSvision, a download service that promises to bring comics, books, magazines, anime, movies, and television programs to the Japanese DS. The service downloads content to special microSD flash cards, which are then plugged into the DS via a special adapter cartridge.

    Fully licensed by Nintendo, the service will begin in full force over in Japan in March 2008. In coopration with its majority share-holder Dai Nippon Printing, a major Japanese printing company, am3 will open up an online shop for downloading content. The firms will also be working with NTT for the distribution of movies and other high memory content.

    Specific titles were not announced today, but am3 does have high hopes for the service. The firm expects to capture 10% of the DS's current 20 million userbase. When the service starts, it expects to have 300 titles available for download, expanding to 10,000 by 2010. am3 hopes to reach 20,000,000 downloads per year by 2010, with total sales of one billion yen over the next three years.

    Pricing for content was also not announced today, but the firm expects the priciest content to go for 1,000 yen, or close to $10 US.

    In January, am3 will hold a test of the service. Interested parties will be able to purchase a 3,980 yen set consisting of the microSD adapter cartridge, a 512 megabyte special microSD card designed for exclusive use with the DS Vision service, and a USB reader. In the future, the firm is considering offering the adapter for free in order to minimize barriers to the service.

    This service is only for Japan at the moment. However, with Nintendo's full backing, if the service takes off, we wouldn't be surprised to see it expand to other territories.

    With the success of the flash carts such as R4DS, M3 Simply, CycloDS Evolution, G6 Flash, EZ-Flash and many others, Nintendo decided to take a stab at it..kinda, by licensing a similar/look-a-like product. But its main intended purpose is for it to be a download service that promises to bring comics, books, magazines, anime, movies, and television programs to the Japanese DS.
