Damn, there is alot of central texas people here... we should have a central texas get together

We can have it in Austin, I'm too damn lazy to drive anywhere.

the only way i would go to it in san antonio is if it were at the hard rock cafe

Please keep an eye out for what might be the next killer app at the E3 --> cellphone games.

"Top cell phone makers such as Motorola also intend to boost the number of color display screens on the market by the end of the year, hoping to lure consumers already used to the richness of Nintendo's Game Boy hand-held platform.

Gamer Ed McGlothlin, who spent 45 minutes playing "Snake" on his cell phone last month during his lengthy graduation ceremony at Florida State University, said he can't wait for a decent wireless game.

At E3, game developer THQ, which opened a cell phone software division earlier this year, will demonstrate a version of "Tetris" designed for the latest generation of Motorola phones. The two companies are currently negotiating a contract that will let Motorola customers play THQ games on their phones."

It may be that the cellphone is the vector for palmtop computing devices and not vice versa.

For those interested, you can read the Seattle PI article about these games here.

Startide,
I'd have to agree with you. Unfortunately, the idea scares me a little bit. I get the feeling it may get too crazy (I play games all the time on the palm instead of paying attention in school), and I hope cell phones w/o headsets get outlawed for use in vehicles.

<Sigh> Just another sign of unproductivity for our nation's youth to toy with...........

I'm gonna go play Dope Wars on the IIIxe now....

: P

So, are they really strict about this being a trade only event? and does anyone know of how to get cheaper *coughFREEcough* passes?

thanks,

Most of the game development companies get free passes for their employees but you must provide proof of working in the industry.

I just so happen to do so and got an extra pass, but my question is how hard is it going to be to get my friend into the conference?
