Nokia has announced that the re-launch of the N-Gage gaming platform has been delayed until December.

Why won't nokia just let the nGage die? It was awful when it first came out, and I'll bet it's awful now...

Actually seems like a good idea if they make sure most of their new phones support it. Without the hardware overheads it should be pretty cheap to implement and I can see people buying the odd game or two if they have some decent titles. I know 3 already has a similar service but this should improve the quality of mobile games a fair bit.

It probably wouldn't have done so badly if you didn't have to plonk it on your head sideways to use the phone.

I'm pretty sure the original n-gage sold over a million handsets, I would call that somewhat successful.

You actually didn't have to do that with any of them. You can hear just fine even though it's 'the wrong way round'.
