xda-developers.com not in Wikipedia! - About xda-developers.com

I noticed that xda-developers.com is not listed in Wikipedia, and I think it should be!
I would love to know more of the history of this site: the founding fathers, the timeframe, the thought and planning that went into it.
Who knows all this, who could write about it?

web archive shows the old site; saw one with the second pic that works
http://web.archive.org/web/20031229083505/http://xda-developers.com/
Quality pic. Enthusiasts, wires, hardware, redbull. What more do you need?

Chuckled when I saw this. Gee, wonder why they're such a great deal?
The Rhodium section of xda is not the best place to grab sales for the Fuze, but I bet there are tons of people who haven't heard of the TP2 who are going to be kicking themselves in a couple of weeks.
I'm not so sure the ads are clever enough to know that the Rhodium is more advanced than the Fuze and as such might not appeal.
Glad you found it amusing though!
funny, i deactivated all ads,
but the only thing i canĀ“t deactivate ist the
T-Mobile iphone 3 s flash-ad, so all i see the whole day is
iphone - iphone - iphone
Yaay for AddArt!

Falldown for Windows Mobile

A long time ago...
There was a game called "Falldown". It was mostly known from MirageOS on some popular Texas Instruments callculators. There's also a remake for the iPhone/iPod Touch.
Basically, it's a really simple -but fun- game.
Description:
Fall down through the holes and avoid getting squished at the top. Score points by staying alive as long as possible.

I came across this a while ago. It may be something like what you're looking for. I have not used it but would be interested to know how it works.
