Nokia's N-Gage QD is a cell phone and Web browser in addition to a gaming device, one of a new breed of all-in-one players.
Video games and gaming machines are big business and better than ever. According to Port Washington, N.Y.-based marketing consulting firm NPD Group, for 2004 annual retail sales of video games, which includes portable and console hardware, software and accessories, were $9.9 billion. Even though this reflected a 1 percent decline from 2003, it was the first year that portable-software sales exceeded the $1 billion mark, and total software sales hit $6.2 billion, an increase of 8 percent.

That color is from the light: the QD is actually a carbon-fiber-like grey.
