For all of you old-school gamers out there, Commodore has launched a C64 app for the iPhone that comes preloaded with Dragons Den, Le Mans, Jupiter Lander, Arctic Shipwreck, Jack Attack, and more on the way. Commodore was just a smidgen before my time as a gamer, but it’s easy to appreciate the original sound effects, stylized keyboard, and on-screen joystick. In full-screen landscape, the games allow you to use the joystick and button anywhere on their respective sides – pretty cool for games that have action all over the place. If Commodore was your bag, you can pick up C64 the iTunes App Store for $4.99. If you’re looking for something a little more robust, a full-blown emulator is available for S60.

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.
