Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep wasn’t the only game Square Enix showed off at this year’s Jump Festa. They also brought along Final Fantasy Versus XIII. All the Final Fantasy XIII hoopla may have put it out of your mind, but it’s

Square Enix continues to jump into the iPhone bandwagon as the company announced a brand new real time strategy game for the iPhone and iPod Touch, Sliding Heroes , early last week. Now we have the first footage of the game, fresh from the ongoing Tokyo Game Show. According to the Square Enix’s Facebook page, Sliding Heroes is a real-time strategy game where you control units by tilting your iPhone or iPod touch and making them slide across the screen. Your units are of classic fantasy classes, like warriors, clerics, and mages. The dangers that they face aren’t only fearsome monsters (of which there are plenty!), but a great number of insidious traps …

The guys at KickingTires have put the Telenav turn-by-turn GPS Navigator for Android and the G1 through its paces and have emerged feeling that the software is impressive, but overpriced. Indeed, while they felt that the software scored well in major categories like ease of use, routing, map quality and accuracy, the value factor struck a major blow to the final verdict. After all, it’s hard to justify spending $10 a month, $99 a year or $249 for four years on a service for your phone when quality, dedicated GPS devices can be had for under $200. Still, if portability is a major issue for you, KickingTires is calling …

Sprint Nextel posted a $594 million loss in the first quarter — substantially higher than the $505 million loss the nation’s third-largest wireless carrier recorded in the final three months of 2008. The company also said revenue fell 12 percent to $8.2 billion. Still, Sprint Nextel CEO Dan Hesse told investors that he sees signs of progress in the first-quarter results. “We achieved the largest sequential improvement in overall gross adds and net adds in Sprint Nextel history, reduced churn versus the prior year, and we generated more than enough cash in this quarter alone to pay all of our 2009 debt maturities,” Hesse said. Targeting Customer Satisfaction Hess noted that challenging economic conditions…

It’s pretty much obligatory at this point: someone announces a new piece of hardware, gets a lot of attention, and iSuppli tears it apart and prices the components. Whether they’ve managed to get ahold of a Pre and actually tear it apart or they just dug up a list of components, we’re not sure - but iSuppli has pinned the final bill of materials for the Palm Pre at $137.38. Thats 46% of the $300 iSuppli expects Palm to charge Sprint for each handset, and 68% of 200 bucks they expect Sprint to charge the customer after subsidies. Not too bad - but of …
