Peekaboo Pole Dancing might be taking Carmen Electra to the Xbox 360, not the Wii
When we broke the news about Peekaboo Pole Dancing launching a Wii game, we mentioned that Carmen Electra was already a fan of the portable dance poles, however it seems Carmen and her ‘Electra Poles’ might actually be launching on the Xbox 360 instead.
Speaking to MTV, Simon Kay from Peekaboo revealed “the biggest issue with the whole thing is Nintendo’s approval, we’re not going to get Nintendo to approve a Carmen Electra-based Wii game, not in near future at least.” Owing to the Wii’s ‘family-friendly’ reputation, they’re being forced to look at alternatives, such as the Xbox 360, which “could be edgier” according to Kay…

Google Android bloggers claim iPhone 3G is "deceitfully mediocre"

iPhone 3G mobiles already being sold on eBay for £500
The iPhone 3G was announced just 36 hours ago, but already eBay has several auctions for people who can’t be bothered waiting in line on July 11th. At the time of writing, there are eight auctions worldwide, with prices ranging from US$350 to £500 (around US$1,000) for the 16GB version.
Each seller promises the handset will be sent to the winning bidder after July 11th, and will come unlocked, which is still an illegal act. Stories have been spreading of Carphone Warehouse and O2 requiring you to sign a contract before you buy an iPhone, instead of signing up for one at home, which looks like it could decrease the amount of jailbroken phones. However, it’s believed iPhones bought on PAYG, or from the Apple stores, need not require a contract signed there and then…
