HTC Leo is badass - 4.3 inch screen, 1Ghz CPU and more...
The first in-the-wild shots of the upcoming HTC Leo jesus-phone have emerged, and it’s shaping up to be a monster. The Leo packs a vast 4.3-inch touchscreen, Windows Mobile 6.5 and a 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon CPU. Onboard memory amounts to 320MB of RAM and 512MB of ROM, with a microSD slot.
That phone is 2X more powerful than the computers that they used to render the CGI in Starwars episode III.
It will also have a 5 Mega pixle camera with Flash! Yes flash, LED flash to be exact! We will have to wait a little longer to see this thing in the wild, but for now we can dream!

Minority's in Gaming
Kotaku, taking a breather from their usual "hard hitting" news, has written up an enticing piece about minority's in gaming. It's something everyone should give a read, but the comments are also insightful - giving you a glimpse into what minority gamers think of their racial counterparts parading on stage as stereotypes.
For me personally, as an Hispanic gamer, I've never cared to be honest with you. So what if Bill and Lance are white? Would it make it any different if they were Hispanic? No, but I also know that that's not the point. But speaking for myself I've never cared that I'm a minority. What can I say? I've never put much attention to it. Seeing El Fuerte in SFIV just gave me a laugh. I didn't relate with him, I don't play him, but I thought he was a great character, but not because he was the same race as I am.
The gaming industry is growing - it's barely 2 decades old in the way its operated today, the USA itself is only not even 250 years old yet, and for a good portion of that time it was filled with racism and partialism. To think we can see everyone in an equal light and not racial profile people is a fantasy way of thinking. But I think our job right now isn't so much to see an immediate change and bring equality to everyone and give every minority and majority their own starring role, but instead it's our job to start the change - to start making games that aren't held to racial stereotypes and have a Black, Hispanis, or Asian guy be the next Francis Drake or Solid Snake, not just gangsta's, driver's, and samurai's.
