Ain't technology wonderful? Following our posts showing Moviestorm movies running on the PSP, and then under the defiantly mediocre YouTube client on the G1, long-time Moviestorm ForgeUK has sent us a photo of his iPod. Can you guess what's on the screen?


There are lots of ways to show off your Moviestorm movies, from the tiny to the tremendous. So come on - who can out-geek ForgeUK? Tell you what: I'll offer a prize right here and now of a few hundred Moviestorm Points to the person who sends me a photo of Moviestorm (or a Moviestorm movie) running on the most bizarre device. Send your photos to johnnie D-O-T ingram .at. moviestorm D-O-T co D-O-T uk, or just post a comment with a link to the image.

Following on from the earlier post about Chris running Moviestorm movies on his PSP, here's Johnnie's T-Mobile Android G1 running Moviestorm tutorials, as written by, erm, Johnnie. Now when he's at high-flying Hollywood parties and people ask him what he does for a living, he just whips out his phone and shows them. Never fails to impress, apparently.


Come on, who's gonna show us their iPhone with a Moviestorm movie on, then?

Moviestorm movies on PSP

Chris has recently become obsessed with putting Moviestorm movies on to his PSP, so he can watch them when he's out and about, and show them off to people. "It's easier than carting a laptop about and the screen shows them off beautifully!" he says.

If you fancy collecting your catalogue of movies (and your favourites of other peoples) it's quite a simple process. First grab PSP Video 9 - it's a free video converter that takes almost any format (MOV, AVI, FLV) and converts it in to the PSP standard MP4 format, making a nice thumbnail for your movie too! Then you simply drop the two files in to the PSP's video folder and you're done. Hit play and you're running, Moviestorm movies on the move!

Chris adds: "If anyone from Sony is reading this and wants to send me some free PSP films to compare the moviestorm ones against that would be great. Actually, come to think of it, I'm testing this on a first edition PSP, so a new 3000 edition would be handy to test playback on too, oh, and some new games, Loco Roco 2, Secret Agent Clank, God of War, that sort of thing..."

Let us know if you've got your Moviestorm movies running on any other cool devices.

You've got me on my knees

We'll shortly be saying farewell to the lovely Layla, artiste extraordinaire. She's moving to Denmark in a few weeks, where her boyfriend is about to start a new job.

We wish her well, and we'll miss her. More importantly, I'll have to steal someone else's lighter now.

If you build it...

So what's on the drawing board for 2009? First up are the new customisable buildings, which allow you to create almost unlimited street sets. These should be out in a couple of weeks, as soon as QA finish complaining about the bugs. You can have them sooner if we decide to lock Mr Pajak and Mr Thatcher in the cupboard under the stairs and not let them out until they give it the all clear. Hmmm, what do you think? Should we let them finish testing it?

The next content pack after that... well, let's not spoil the surprise, shall we? Meanwhile, the programming team are working away on version 1.1.4, which is mostly small changes and bug fixes. But there's Big Stuff in the works, oooh, yes, there is!
