There's an upcoming strategy game for the new N-Gage phone gaming platform (which can be installed on selected Symbian S60 3rd Edition handsets) called Reset Generation. It's a rather strange game, which mixes parodies of various computer and video games with online multiplayer turn-based gameplay. As part of my work on All About N-Gage / All About Symbian I've done a brief video slideshow with the theme tune of the game playing on top of it:

And here's our in-depth article on the game by Ewan Spence:

ANYWAY, you're probably wondering what the heck this has to do with the Nokia tablets, as they run a totally different operating system.
Well, the unusual thing about Reset Generation is that as well as being sold as a commercial smartphone game, it will also be available completely free as an embeddable Flash game, playable through a PC browser. Anyone will be able to add it to their site or blog, and browser-based players will be in the same game world as phone-based players. Is it possible that it might be playable through the tablets' browser? The gameplay will be turn-based and the graphics simple 2D sprites, so presumably it shouldn't be too complex or fast-moving to be rendered on the tablets?
