Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Design, Microsoft, Portable Audio / Video, Video Games,
Remember when Halo 3 was on the horizon, and Microsoft hit us with a Halo 3 Zune? Well, they’re doing it again, but this time with the Gear of War franchise. Gears of War 2 is set for release early next month, and to capitalize on the hype, Microsoft is bringing you a special edition Gears of War 2 branded Zune. This Zune 120 is laser-etched with a “Crimson Omen” on the back, and comes pre-loaded with 244 pieces of GoW2 content - we are talking soundtrack, concept art, behind-the-scenes videos…the works. If you’re a Gears fan, and you are in the market for a Zune, you may just want to wait for this one to land. So, when will it be available? On Gears of War 2 launch day, of course. You can pick it up, alongside the game, on November 7 for $280.

Apple drops the iPhone NDA
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Smartphones, Corporate News, Software,
This morning, Apple finally answered the call of iPhone developers the world over when they finally put an end to the iPhone NDA nonsense. For those not in the know, the problem here was that developers couldn’t talk about the development process of their apps, even after they were released and publicly available in the App Store. This put an unnecessary burden on developers, many of whom thought that it was hindering the development of great apps, as developers couldn’t even talk to each other about the apps that they had released, techniques used, and lessons learned, without breaking the NDA. As of today, the NDA no longer stands on applications that have been released. The NDA still remains on software that is still unreleased, but still, this is a big win in the iPhone dev world.
You can check out the release from Apple after the break.
