Nokia turns cellphones into webservers

Nokia has ported the Apache webserver to Symbian, in order to enable mobile phones to serve content on the World Wide Web. Many mobile phones today have more processing power than early Internet servers, suggesting that "there really is no reason anymore why webservers could not reside on mobile phones," according to the company. The technique could also be used on Linux mobile phones.

Mega Man back for more action in PSP format

Few game characters have seen as much action as Mega Man. He's destroyed tons of evil robots, stolen their signature weapons and used them to save the world ... again, and again, and again.

And then, in the incarnation of Mega Man X, he did it some more -- but with more angst and cooler armor.

But now game maker Capcom takes the character back to his roots, in two PlayStation Portable updates of the first games in the two main Mega Man series.

New PSP firmware introduces LocationFree TV

Sony has introduced new firmware for the PlayStation Portable, adding the facility to download demos straight to Memory Stick, and a TV service button to the system menu - tying in with today's UK launch of LocationFree TV.

LFTV enables you to pipe video content from your home, over the internet, to portable devices like laptops and the PSP. You'll need a LocationFree Basestation to do this (the one on Sony's site today retails for GBP 350), and around 300Kbps upstream on your broadband connection.

Using Sony's So-net download service, you'll be able to access a mixture of free and paid-for video content. The firmware also corrects a problem with video output from LFTV.

Sony has also today launched a second downloadable demo for the PSP in Japan, following on from the success of the Loco Roco demo last month; users can log into the firm's Japanese site for Kazuo and download a trial version of that - although bear in mind it's just the Japanese version of Sumo Digital's Go! Sudoku title.

Nintendo DS Lite winning out PSP, Xbox 360 sales (yeah, but all it does is play games!)

The Nintendo DS Lite pounded rival hardware offerings in Japan last week on the strength of New Super Mario Bros.
