alt="" //abr //div A storm's arrival typically isn't something to celebrate, but we're going to
make a notable exception here seeing how the a
href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/tag/storm"BlackBerry Storm/a is less of a destructive weather
pattern and more of an incredibly hot smartphone -- arguably a
href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/category/rim"RIM's/a hottest to date. Fit to its business-savvy
roots, the long-rumored handset comes equipped with the most comprehensive global roaming
capabilities of virtually any wireless device you'll find anywhere, featuring EV-DO Rev. A,
quadband EDGE, and 2100MHz HSPA for Europe. Beyond that, the Storm becomes RIM's very first
touchscreen phone, mounting a 3.26-inch 480 x 360 glass display on a unique clickable surface so
that the entire thing can be pressed downwards -- just like a real button -- for tactile feedback
when making selections. It includes a full HTML finger-navigable browser, Word, Excel, and
PowerPoint editing capabilities, Bluetooth 2.0, 1GB of on-board storage with an 8GB microSD card
bundled in the box, 3.5mm headphone jack, automatic orientation and ambient lighting sensors, and a
3.2-megapixel autofocus cam with dedicated flash, making it a legitimate jack-of-all-trades that
seems likely to be able to handle even the most chaotic personal and professional lives users can
throw its way. It'll allegedly do 15 days of standby or 5.5 hours of talk time on either GSM or
CDMA networks. No word on pricing yet -- we're told all will be revealed "in the coming weeks" --
but it'll launch on both Verizon and Vodafone in November.br /br /div

Throughout last year, Stan and Pete both reported the acquisition by Google of
an in-game ad provider called
AdScape. AdScape’s assimilation was described by Pete at the time as a sign of
Google’s changing mission statement from “organizing the worlds information” to
“cramming as many ads into the world as possible.”
Rumors have been floating ever since that the company would be put into action any minute now.
Word filters down to us today that the time is now. Google says
that AdSense for Games
is now available, and web-based games are now invited to integrate text, image and video
advertisements in “new ways” (more on that in a second)
They’ve been working, apparently, with some select game developers and publishers including
Konami, Playfish, Zynga, Demand Media and Mochi Media so far, hitting many the recognizable
social and casual game networks we cover fairly regularly here at Mashable.
The real question is, though, what does this do that plain old vanilla AdSense won’t do
already?
If you look at most online games, both casual and flash, most of the monetization is done through
on the side bars, away from where most people are focusing their attention. Couple that with the
fact that when you’re playing a game, the last thing you want to do is go check out that
limited time offer blinking at you, and it’s no wonder that the low ad conversion rates on
gaming sites rival only those from social network.
As you can see from the video above (be patient, the money shot is towards the end), with the new
AdSense units, they look more or less the same, but they show up in
game instead of off to the side.  Because the user is already
acclimated to bells, whistles, lasers and other noisy what-not, the video ads are allowed to auto
play.
This turns the gaming experience into something a little closer to television viewing. The ads
are likely going to have lower conversion rates than standard AdSense units on a content site
because of folks not wanting to leave the experience, but will probably function quite
effectively as a sort of brand impression unit, similar to how standard TV works (of course with
the added benefit of being clickable).
All in all, not a total bust, and given the scope of the beta partners and the reach of Google,
this could very quickly become a major profit center for Google, and a game changer for
monetizing online games.
