Looks like the path of the N-Gage is destined to be plagued with bad luck, or bad planning, whichever you prefer. The new N-81 device (pictured below), and N-Gage’s store, which were mean to be released in October have now slipped to November.

I only hope that the games don’t have similar slips, otherwise the same things that made the original N-Gages unsuccessful will eventually lead to this model’s demise. And considering that this cellphone is now more expensive that Apple’s iPhone, I really have to start questioning how successful it might become.
