Is this post just another excuse to post a Picard picture?  Nope!  (Yep!)

The next iteration of Nokia's N-Gage system was recently unveiled to quite an all-star lineup of developers.  Also at the unveiling was the devkit for the N-Gage system.  Whether or not the attendees are actually going to develop for the system is anyone's guess.  The list is fairly extensive considering this is the N-Gage we're talking about here…

Of the bigs guns attending, the most notable were: Square Enix, Vivendi, Capcom, SEGA and SOE.

Gaming bets:

N-Gage revolutionizes handheld gaming: 50 to 1
N-Gage looks ugly as nuts: 2 to 1
N-Gage commercials involve samurai at the laundromat: 1 to 1
