Thanks to the success of the iPhone and its App Store, game developers have a new kind of platform to target, and they’re just now starting to get the hang of what does–and does not–work on these multitouch, controller-less mobile devices. So we’ve found that action shooters aren’t necessarily ideal on such devices. But casual games–board games, card games, and the like–work well. And so do racing games.

Windows Phone 7 App of the Week: Need for Speed Undercover

And it’s not just iPhone owners that are reaping the benefits. Windows Phone has established itself very quickly as a premier game platform on par with the iPhone, thanks to its inclusion of the Xbox LIVE service and the simplicity with which developers can create games that run on this platform.

Windows Phone 7 App of the Week: Need for Speed Undercover

So it’s no surprise that the best-selling iPhone title Need for Speed Undercover has been quickly and faithfully ported to Windows Phone. NFSU is the best of the two Need for Speed games on the iPhone (the other, Need for Speed Shift, is actually pretty lousy), and is in my opinion the best-yet racing game on any smart phone. And yep, you guessed it, the Windows Phone version is the best yet because it adds real Xbox Live achievements and leaderboards to the mix.

Windows Phone 7 App of the Week: Need for Speed Undercover

There’s a plot to NFSU, not that it matters, involving your infiltration into a car gang of sorts. This is completely superfluous to the game, however, and the video cuts scenes are, thankfully, easily skipped. The real heart of NFSU is the ability to buy and totally customize cars, which you use in races in which you earn money for succeeding. And then the races themselves, which are action packed and well-done.

Those races vary nicely from straightforward time trials to some pretty difficult missions in which you need to do such things as takedown a certain number of vehicles in a certain time period. It’s a nice mix, and you can go back and repeat even successful races in order to bolster your earnings and upgrade to the cars and add-ons you’ll need to win future, more difficult races.

NFSU unfolds over three different areas, and features some great 3D scenery, excellent sound effects, and fast action. It’s a fantastic game, and good enough that I’ll absolutely finish it again, this time on Windows Phone. If you’re looking for a fast-paced action title that you can jump in and out of in short bursts–as on a commute–NFSU will satisfy that need. But it’s also a great game to spend a few hours at a time with, and even if you’re not a racing game fan per se, it’s one you’re going to want to at least try.

Microsoft Security Essentials, Microsoft Corp.’s new no-cost, core anti-malware service that helps protect consumers against viruses, spyware and other malicious software, will be available tomorrow, Tuesday, Sept. 29. Microsoft Security Essentials, independently certified by West Coast Labs, is backed by the company’s global security response team and is built on the same award-winning core security technology found in the company’s security solutions for businesses. It requires no registration, trials or renewals and will be available for download directly from Microsoft at https://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials.

“Consumers have told us that they want the protection of real-time security software but we know that too many are either unwilling or unable to pay for it, and so end up unprotected,” said Amy Barzdukas, general manager for consumer security at Microsoft. “With Microsoft Security Essentials, consumers can get high-quality protection that is easy to get and easy to use — and it won’t get in their way.”

Making Microsoft Security Essentials broadly available as a free consumer download for genuine Windows-based PCs is part of Microsoft’s ongoing commitment to provide a more trustworthy computing experience for all customers. By making Microsoft Security Essentials easy to get and easy to use, Microsoft hopes to encourage broader adoption of anti-virus protection across the consumer audience, which in turn will help increase security across the entire Windows ecosystem. For business customers, Microsoft continues to offer Forefront Client Security, providing centralized, comprehensive management and reporting capabilities.

Maximum Security, Minimum Resource Requirements

Microsoft Security Essentials is designed to run quietly in the background alerting users only when there is an action for them to take. It also limits CPU and memory usage, resulting in less impact on the tasks consumers perform every day such as opening documents or browser windows or loading search results, even on older or less powerful PCs. Microsoft Security Essentials uses real-time protection to help prevent PCs from becoming infected, and it is the first Microsoft security product to make use of the company’s new Dynamic Signature Service, a technology that helps ensure users stay protected by the most current virus definitions available without having to wait for the next scheduled download.

“Microsoft is focused on the challenges that prevent consumers from running up-to-date anti-virus software today, particularly in emerging markets where there is a growing prevalence of malware,” said Jon Crotty, security analyst at IDC. “With Microsoft Security Essentials, Microsoft is helping to reduce some of the barriers that constrain consumers from running AV.”

Microsoft Security Essentials will be available for Windows XP SP2 or SP3, Windows Vista and Windows 7 including Windows XP mode on both x32 and x64 PCs.

Microsoft Security Essentials will be available in eight languages and 19 countries including Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Singapore, Spain, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States. More information about Microsoft Security Essentials and the product download is available at https://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials.

Dell  is rolling out a new version of its business-focused Latitude line of notebooks designed for executives who need high functionality as well as security and style for their jobs.

The Dell Latitude Z Series notebook is designed for executives who are looking for portability and design paired with function. This latest offering from Dell is a 16-inch notebook built with enough power and security features to protect the data of an executive while simultaneously making a statement with its design and features.

A feature new to the Dell Latitude Z is its ‘Always On’ function, which provides executives nearly instant access to the applications that are most frequently used and may not require a full boot of the notebook. Specifically, Always On gives its users the ability to access Microsoft Outlook, provide access to a Web browser and sync quickly with contacts.

The Latitude Z accomplishes this by housing a system-within-a-system inside the notebook. In addition to a traditional motherboard equipped with a Windows environment, the Latitude Z is built with a second motherboard that is approximately the size of a business card, complete with a WiFi radio, ARM processor and 512 MB of memory.

That second motherboard allows users to access the Always On function with a single press of a button, quickly providing access to Outlook or a Web browser without having to go through the whole rigmarole of booting a notebook.

The thought behind the Latitude Z is that when an executive deplanes and is en route to a business meeting, he or she can have full access to an e-mail account, rather than try to read an attachment or e-mail on a BlackBerry.

Dell specifically designed this Latitude to make a statement, and while the Z may be a different branch of the family targeted at executives, there are still some features that entrench it in the Latitude family. The notebook is different from the Dell Adamo, for example, because Latitude is designed for the enterprise — that means IT managers can still set security features, protect data and easily swap or replace parts that may become damaged.

The Latitude Z is built with an Intel  Core 2 Duo ultra-low-voltage processor and comes with up to 4 GB of DDR3 memory. The screen on the notebook is a 16-inch 1,600-x-900 high-definition display that is large enough for users to comfortably work in multiple windows.

Storage can be customized by users depending on their requirements. Users can equip the Latitude Z with a single or dual SSD drives, with each drive boasting up to 256 GB of memory.

Charging the Latitude Z can be done one of two ways. A standard cable can be plugged into the back of the notebook and then into the wall to restore the charge on either the 4- or 8-cell Li-ion battery. In addition, a coil is built into the bottom of the notebook that matches to a charging stand. When the system is placed on the stand, the notebook charges as if it were plugged into a wall outlet.

The Dell Latitude Z notebook’s starting weight is about 4.5 pounds. The Latitude Z is currently available from Dell and starts at $1999.

Fei “Phil” Lam, a 17-year-old high school senior from Flushing, Queens, is worried that his idol, Steve Jobs, hates him.

He has a pretty good reason to believe so, too. On Tuesday, the New York Observer ran a story about Lam’s self-run e-commerce site, WhiteiPhone4Now.com, which sells $279 conversion kits that can turn your passé black iPhone 4 into one of those phantom white ones. The kit comes in four parts: a white back glass panel, a white front panel, a white home button, and a set of opening tools, protective case and screen protector. Lam has posted third-party YouTube tutorials on souping up your phone.

When he started the business in July, Lam didn’t expect all the orders that flooded in — he doesn’t even own a mobile phone, let alone an iPhone — but he has pocketed nearly $40,000 since August.

The legality of the business is murky. This week, a self-dubbed private investigator who claimed to represent Apple warned Lam to desist his operations. Lam, whose parents are unaware of the situation, quickly hired a lawyer.

“The private investigator is off my back now,” Lam said in an interview chat, although Apple has taken up the “trademark” issue with his lawyer. Meanwhile, his conversion kit business continues to flourish.

Lam’s business idea literally derived from a piece of spam. In July, Lam replied to his umpteenth spam advertising repair parts for the white iPhone 4, and hit a stroke of marketing genius.

“People have been selling these parts months before me. I just thought to advertise it as a conversion kit,” Lam said. Despite reports claiming Lam’s contact works at Foxconn, Lam says that this is simply not the case.

If his start-up shuts down, Lam is already cooking up a new start-up launching early next year. He describes it as “a super simplistic way to connect with a potential friend online…like a Chatroulette but less random and with more clothes on because there won’t be video.”

And given that Steve Jobs got his start by selling illegal blue boxes which allowed people to place free calls, it is probably no surprise that Lam’s idol is Steve Jobs. “Too bad he probably hates me now :(,” Lam wrote.

Cisco has hired the man responsible for Apple’s famed “Antennagate” issues—Mark Papermaster, 49, has joined the company as vice president of Cisco’s Silicon Switching Technology Group, which oversees the various chips that the company develops for its hardware switches. It’s a profitable business for Cisco, as switches make up a significant portion of the company’s overall revenue stream.

That said, Papermaster is likely looking to keep his name out of the press for any hardware upsets this time around. The former senior vice president of devices hardware engineering for Apple left the company in August of this year, a year and change after his arrival at Apple in April of 2009 (following a protracted legal battle with former employer IBM.)

It’s unclear whether Papermaster’s departure was the result of a cultural incompatibility within Apple or due to the simple fact that the iPhone 4 suffered a gentle reaming in the public eye from the alleged antenna issues users reported when trying to hold the device and make calls. So much so, that Apple itself decided to offer all purchasers of the iPhone 4 a free wraparound bumper shortly after the device’s release in an effort to staunch users’ signal loss issues.

Papermaster himself reportedly lost the confidence of Steve Jobs after the Apple CEO returned to the company following his recovery from a liver transplant in early 2009. Part of that has been attributed to Apple’s corporate culture, according to undisclosed sources speaking to the Wall Street Journal.

At Apple, senior executives don’t have as much room for delegation as other companies, for it’s expected that those on the top will process even the tiniest details within their realms of control. The same sources indicated that perhaps this wasn’t Papermaster’s strong suit—as well, they claim he lacked the kind of creative thinking Apple propagates.

Regardless, Cisco needs its best captains to face the stormy sea of sales challenges that lie before it. The company recently took a huge hit to its stock price as a result of its most recent earnings announcement. Although Cisco announced greater earnings as compared to the previous quarter, investors punished Cisco for a 48 percent drop in its state government contracts quarter-to-quarter and a 35 percent drop in orders from cable operators, to name a few of Cisco’s admitted challenges. The company’s expected second-quarter revenue was approximately $1 billion under Wall Street projections.

As a result, investors sent the stock plummeting 16 percent –the biggest loss the company’s seen since July of 1994. That’s not the best financial omen for a company that’s widely touted as a bellwether stock of the technology industry.
