All the stuff mentioned in previous trailers have been reiterated along with some others you mustn’t have heard about yet. Mentioned in an IGN article were the following objectives:

Major Personal computer companies threatened by ultra low-cost notebooksPosted by admin in Mobile News
The low prices and apparent popularity of the new breed of ULPC computers, such as the Asus Eee Personal computer, appears to threaten the market of Computer makers who have built machines on the premise that the more powerful and high-priced a machine is, the more attractive it is to the consumer. “When I speak to PC vendors, the No. 1 question I get is, how do I compete with these netbooks when what we really want to do is sell Computers that cost a lot more money?” said J.P. Gownder of Forrester Research. Some major companies decided to cope with the new trend, churning out their own low-cost laptops as well, such as Hewlett-Packard, the manufacturer behind the recently-released HP Mini-note. “Our competitors proved there’s a pretty good market,” stated HP’s notebook product manager Robert Baker. Not everyone are too impressed about the market’s new love for small, low-cost machines. Fujitsu, in particular, is wary about the relatively small profit margin the ULPCs offer. “It s a product that essentially has no margin,” said senior director of mobile product management Paul Moore. Mobile computer enthusiasts will certainly face an interesting trend in motion. Will the introduction of ULPCs cause a major change in the market? Only time can tell. Related articles:

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment (WBIE) has announced at least two downloadable games based on Watchmen. Deadline Games will be developing the two titles, with the first episode scheduled for release around the same time as the motion picture and the second episode slated closer to the DVD release. Notes Samantha Ryan, WBIE VP of Product and Development, “We don t want a low-quality console game that will get lost at retail. A downloadable game grants us to deliver the experience that fans expect.” Warner Bros. looks to be banking on the idea that episodic gaming will increase the quality of the individual game and make it a hit with moviegoing gamers and reviewers alike. We’ll find out soon enough if their call does justice to the Watchmen. In the meantime, feel free to sound off in the comments on whether or not episodic gaming will make for a good videogame adaptation of this comic-turned-film. Related Articles: source pc.qj.net
EA further indicates that only 11,741,339 of T2’s outstanding shares were tendered by the previous deadline, which accounts for roughly 15 percent of the latter company’s shares by last July 18. In line with this announcement, T2 chairman Strauss Zelnick states that the company’s board was committed to maintaining its stockholder value, and that they continued to suggest that their stockholders not give in to EA’s offer. “We are fully engaged in a formal process to evaluate strategic alternatives that have the potential to deliver greater value than EA’s inadequate offer,” Zelnick stated. Take-Two CEO Ben Feder also added his own two cents regarding this matter: In February, Take-Two s board rejected EA s offer as inadequate. Since then, the record-shattering release of Grand Theft Auto IV, the exciting announcement of a BioShock motion picture, and our capability to deliver financial results exceeding expectations have further demonstrated that our value-creation potential is greater than EA s offer. According to GamesIndustry, EA’s current offer is expected to expire by this August 18. In the mean time, Take-Two also has a site that explains the details regarding their ongoing row with Electronic Arts.
