It has already happened to millions of people in Sweden, Finland, Switzerland, Luxembourg and the Netherlands, and in the next few years hundreds of millions more across the globe should have the same experience: their TV picture will quite suddenly - and very permanently - disappear. No amount of shouting, bashing the box, or fiddling with the aerial will get the picture back, because after half a century of service, analogue TV broadcasts are being switched off for good.
Most of us, of course, won't notice, having switched to digital TV services such as the UK's Freeview years ago. Analogue TV sets, and the transmitters that have kept them glowing, are giving way to new ones . | BILLBOARD'S MOBILE ENTERTAINMENT LIVE!

| Pleo is an autonomous robotic life form modeled on a one-week-old Camarasaurus dinosaur. Pleo is designed to mimic life which means Pleo thinks and acts independently, just like a real animal. Every Pleo is unique. Yes, each one begins life as a newly-hatched baby Camarasaurus, but that's where predictability ends and individuality begins. Pleo doesn't just do what he's told. He develops his own personality, moods, and habits—all shaped by the time he spends with you. In creating this Life Form, we merely set the wheels in motion.

Parents and politicians will be impressed at two new themes the game industry is embracing. The first is the rise of the exercise game.
Konami launched this revolution in Japan years ago with Dance Dance Revolution and had two new games on display at its bungalow outside of the Fairmont Hotel during this year's E3 Media Summit. Dance Dance Revolution Hottest Party includes both the dance mat for leg exercises and introduces new a Wii controller for arm movement that lets players get a full body workout. Dance Dance Revolution Supernova 2 for PlayStation 2 adds 70 new songs to the hit franchise.
Nintendo had its working prototype of Wii Fit running at its booth at the Loews Hotel. With a large number of female gamers already flocking to Wii, the aerobics and yoga exercises will likely be a big hit. Kids and gamers of all ages won't even know they're getting a workout playing the fun, full-body mini-games like ski jump and soccer heading. Ubisoft's Rayman Raving Rabids 2 features new four-player party mini-games, including one that requires virtual swimming at top speed. With the success of Wii and its "get off the sofa" gameplay, kids are going to shed some pounds while having fun. | The 20 hot trends in mobile gaming - 11:45, Jul 30th 2007 by Michael French
