That was a quick turnaround, wasn’t it? Palm wasted no time in retailing 3D games that are as visually engaging as the best the iPhone has to offer just as soon as it made the big announcement back at CES, and now it’s taking things to the next level by heading out to GDC in San Francisco this March. The Game Developers Conference is — as gaming goes, anyway — what you’d call a Big Deal, so the fact that Palm is leading a session there to educate interested parties in its Plug-in Development Kit is a promising sign that these guys are taking the concept of webOS as an entertainment platform very, very seriously. Of course, it would’ve been nice to see this kind of drive about a year ago — but better late than never.

Bank of America

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) — Losses at Bank of America widened to $5.2 billion in the fourth quarter, as its results were squeezed by the company’s decision to return bailout money owed to the government.

The nation’s biggest said Wednesday that repaying funds from TARP, or the Troubled Asset Relief Program, hurt profits by $4 billion in the quarter. Not incl bankuding the one-time charge, the company would have reported a loss of $194 million.
Still, Bank of America’s latest results were worse than Wall Street was anticipating. The company said it lost 60 cents a share while analysts were expecting a loss of 52 cents a share, according to Thomson Reuters.

Bank of America’s results were also worse when compared to a year ago. The Charlotte, N.C.-based lender lost $2.4 billion, or 48 cents a share, in the fourth quarter of 2008.

After packaging and re-marketing to us our childhood over Nintendo’s Wii Virtual Console and in a multitude of other forms, Sega is putting another platform to good use in its eternal quest to make us poor: the iPhone. Due for the App Store next month, the upcoming Sega Ultimate Genesis Collection will bring together some of Sega’s existing, disparate releases for the iPhone under one roof and add a bunch more, allowing users to buy Sega Genesis games directly from the app. The first one’s free, of course (Space Harrier II), but after that you’ll be paying a decent amount for your emulation fix: Sonic is $6, Golden Axe is $5, and Ecco the Dolphin and Shining Force go for $3. The variety will undoubtedly grow over time, but we would hope that at some point Sega will offer some sort of discounted megabundle, since you can currently get 49 notable Sega titles for around $20 in the form of Sonic’s Ultimate Genesis Collection for the Xbox 360 and PS3. Basically: we’re not sure if this is all supposed to make us worse or better about jailbreaking.

As breathtakingly bad as the picture is, what we’re looking at here could very well be the first shot of HTC’s upcoming Bravo in the wild — the industrial design lines up nicely with what we’ve seen in the company’s leaked roadmap, anyway, and that funky little optical pad in the center perfectly matches the component that you can clearly see on the Legend render. It’s said to be “near identical” to the Nexus One — which makes sense considering that we thought the Nexus One was the Bravo for a while — so the big draws here would have to be the removal of the trackball (we’re not complaining) and the Sense UI covering up Android 2.1’s default look. If 3 Sweden knew what it was talking about, this thing could be on shelves this quarter… so watch your back, MOTOROI.
