Gameloft brings the excitement of Driver to the iPhone, “including the exact same physics and driving engine present in the PC original.” The only things you won’t find is a replay editor. Video after the break.

Samsung’s been showing off two new handsets of late. The S5150 Olivia is a clamshell affair with a mirrored body, an external LED, and we know that it will boast a 3 megapixel camera and a 2.2-inch QVGA display. The other – the S7070 – is an iPhone-esque job, with a crazy diamond-shaped button at the bottom, and a quilted-style back cover, with a 3-inch WQVGA display with resistive touchscreen, Bluetooth, and microSD slot.
