Electronic Arts revealed today that its mobile game sales revenues have eclipsed its other platform businesses for the first time -- net mobile revenues for Q3 hit $59 million. While EA didn't break this figure out by platform, it is pretty clear that games for the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad have become a huge business, a business that's driving a rapid evolution in terms of quality and game play.
Tear yourself away from the newly-released Dead Space game (above), and think about the impact of these things on the games industry. 57 million people across the main European countries are playing mobile games (from all platforms) - nearly a quarter of mobile users.

Exclusive: iPad 2 screen, fresh from China
With the help of the iFixYouri iPhone 4 repair shop, we have been able to acquire what we believe is an iPad 2 LCD, fresh out of China. At this point, we cannot tell if the resolution is higher (or “Retina”) but it is definitely higher quality in terms of its build. The iPad 2′s display is also lighter, and over a mm thinner than the current iPad’s display with a smaller surrounding frame. This is a dream for a product designer like Jony Ive who now has some more tapering options for what looks to be a significantly lighter iPad 2. More pictures here

CES 2011 Samsung Sliding PC 7 Series
At the CES 2011 Microsoft Keynote Microsoft brought out some new computers. One of the most amazing computers was a Samsung Sliding PC7 Series. The most special part of this device is its functionality. It is both a tablet and a laptop. The device starts out as a tablet and you can slide the device just as a slide out keyboard in a phone and out a keyboard appears. Then you can flip it upright and it transforms into a laptop.
The laptop that was shown was probably the most awesome part of the keynote. When that device came out from behind the stage the whole crowd loved it. I think this device will be able to cover the tablet and laptop market because it contained both of them in one. This device has a Intel ATOM running at 1.66GHz. Windows 7 Home Premium. 2GB of DDR2 memory. Comes in both a 32GB or 64GB model. had a 10.1 inch 1366 x 768 HD Touchscreen. Two integrated speakers. One USB 2.0 port. 4-in-1 memory card reader.
