Nokia will today be licking its wounds and doing a fair amount of worrying, with the revelation that the N-Gage"s security has been cracked like an egg, with other manufacturers" handsets able to play the machine"s software.
Specifically, the Siemens SX1 is already capable of running N-Gage games, with Sonic N being the only game seen in public, though it"s expected that the others won"t be too far behind.
This is expected to be the start of a process that will see third-party hardware add-on sales of devices that will enable many phones to simply suck up the N-Gage content, then go on their merry way.
Nokia"s reaction to this new, seemingly unforeseen problem, will be interesting to observe, to say the least.
