Now that Street Fighter IV has been released on the iPhone, it seems Namco is now throwing its hat into the iPhone ring by announcing they will be bringing Tekken to the iPhone, by way of a source close to Namco. Not much else is known at this time, not even which iteration of Tekken is currently in the final stages of development. My hope is it’s a port of their latest Tekken 6, which I believe is the best installment to date, unless you actually consider the single player campaign as part of the package. I think we’d all like to forget that ever existed… m’kay

The LG’s family of Shine phones, currently available in slider , candybar , and flip incarnations, will be expanding with a touchscreen device bearing the model number KM555, or more colloquially, the Shine Touch. It’s due to land on Rogers ( NYSE: RCI ) according to internal docs, and TELUS ( NYSE: TU ) according to the LG Canada spec sheet , but still no official word from either carrier. The Shine Touch is a relatively low-end device – 3 megapixel camera, 3″ WQVGA display, FM radio, Wi-Fi, 3G with quad-band GSM support, S-class UI, and 5 hours of talk time. It’s not much to look at, and presuming you’ve had a chance to check out the S-Class user interface , navigation on the Shine Touch might be a hard pill to swallow.
