While the mobile gaming industry is still in its infancy, companies are working round the clock to develop technologies, which could change and improve the industry. Toshiba is one of the companies that wants to chip-in with its technologies, and just recently, the Japanese giant announced a new dedicated 3D graphics Large-Scale Integration (LSI) chip that will add the new level of realism to mobile games.
According to Toshiba, the new LSI, “TC35711XBG”, will achieve rendering speeds of 100 mega-polygons a second, thus surpassing by a factor of 38 the performance of existing similar products. Furthermore, the chip will also incorporate Toshiba’s “Media Embedded Processor” (MeP) to handle sound, a host processor, and a WVGA LCD controller for wide-screen displays.
Suddenly mobile gaming sounds even MORE promising. Still, we have to wait for October this year, to see the first samples of the new graphics LSI, and probably the end of next year to see it embedded in pilot devices. Can’t wait!

In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
