Y’know, I never quite had the patience to chew all the way through Myst’s sequel, Riven, but it was one calming and surreal game. If you never played the original, it’s coming to the iPhone shortly, and developer Cyan has provided a sneak peek. Nevermind that the graphics look like something out of Second Life, the story was solid and it’s a great format for mobile. Easy save points, meandering tempo, and regular breaks all make the Myst games solid choices for mobile. I’d be interested to see if the more graphically-ambitious sequels make it to mobile…
Simon Sage’s education largely surrounded writing, technology and online community, leading him to begin his blogging career at www.BlackBerryCool.com and to quickly discover a vibrant and active community surrounding BlackBerry and mobile technology. In exploring RIM’s platform, he has learned what enterprises are looking for in mobility as well as what makes the innocuous BlackBerry so appealing to them. Recently Simon’s been covering RIM’s gradual move into an already-crowded consumer market, and the impact of burgeoning challengers, such as the iPhone, as well as long-time leaders, like Nokia, on BlackBerry’s advancement.
With plenty of content under his belt, Simon will be branching off a bit to see what other smartphone manufacturers are working on while still using BlackBerry as a barometer. At IntoMobile, you can count on his posts being even-handed, well-informed and thought-out.
