Questions over Apple's canning of C64 app
Techradar - All the latest technology news — Nostalgia geeks with iPhones will be disappointed to hear that Apple has rejected a new Commodore 64 iPhone emulator app this month. Manomio's C64 emulator – which was officially licensed by Commodore - was refused by Apple because "an Application may not itself install or launch other executable code by any means." Emulators not allowed? However, Touch Arcade notes that "a number of apps in the App Store" already violate Apple's rule on emulation and ROMs, such as "CHIP-8 emulators, programmable calculators and, of course, Frotz, a Z-machine interpreter." "In fact, Sega's Golden Axe and Sonic iPhone games are nothing more than emulators packaged with the original game ROMs," ...

Distinctive merlot However, those of you Stateside feverishly awaiting the launch of the new ...

There was an earlier promotional video of the Hero leaked onto the internet, which clearly shows that the phone will be running Android, with the first skinned interface showing a slightly different outlook. Lancaster bombing in The rumours that the HTC Lancaster will also be shown at the event are also growing in pace, which ...

"With over 50,000 applications available from Apple's revolutionary App Store, iPhone momentum is stronger than ever."
