Dogear Nation

This week we welcome back Andy Piper from our UK contingent of Dogear-Nation. This week we focus on Robots, Games, Phones, and Transitions. This week’s launch titles from E3 for the Wii Motion Fit reduces the potential of burning your face when beach fencing. Will Sony’s MAG suck all the phone out of MMO Gaming? Spore is bigger than all of creation! Are we all bored of the iPhone 3G news, yet? Andy actually bought his on the launch day. Are location based services the real reason behind the GPS in the iPhone? Why does the 3G phone need 802.11 connection for iTunes purchase?
