How high can you score before your doom with Running Ninja for BlackBerry smartphones

Sometimes the best games can quite often be the simplest. Running Ninja is maybe not the best game but for a cheap download of £1 it is a load of fun and gameplay is pretty sweet.

You control the Ninja who must run from left to right jumping across the rooftops and avoiding throwing stars. Hitting one of these or falling from a roof will end in tears. The further you run the higher your score will be.

Features of the game include:

Beautiful GraphicsSpecial EffectsEasy to playSupport OS 5 to OS 7.1

If you are any good at the game you may well want to share your results with your friends and this is made rather easy as sharing is built into the app. You have the option to share via email, SMS, PIN or BBM. It always impresses me when the developer has included these options, so I tip my my hat to him/her. With the game working from OS5 to BlackBerry 7.1 everyone can get in on the Ninja action.

Some Vodafone customers experiencing BlackBerry outage *Update* - looks like it is back up and running

Vodafone users may be experiencing a bit of an outage this morning in Europe. An anonymous tipster emailed in letting us know that BIS services are down following some planned maintenance last night. While it's unclear so far whether the problem is Vodafone's or RIM's, we're hoping it will be resolved shortly. In the meantime, let us know in the comments if you're on Vodafone and your BlackBerry services are down this morning. We'll provide updates as they become available.

*Update from RIM*
We are currently experiencing a BlackBerry service issue impacting some users in Europe, Middle East & Africa. All relevant support teams are working to resolve the issue. We apologize to any customers who may be affected.

*Update* - I have now been able to BBM my Vodafone friends so looks like things here in the UK are back to normal. Everyone else ok? (James)

This week's sidebar poll: Are you interested in a dedicated camera running Android?

Android is a Linux OS -- just like countless other Linux OSs you use without knowing it every day with "not-smart" consumer electronic devices. Because it's easily scalable and simple to modify, Android is a no-brainer way to make these not-so-smart devices a little smarter and add a network-aware user interface to them. This means televisions, Blu-ray players, stereos, and cameras.

Samsung is going about it in a big way with their Galaxy Camera, which looks to be a pretty impressive personal media player with a quality point and shoot camera attached. Nikon is also at the bat, but they look to have built a point and shoot camera first, then added the Android operating system to it rather than build the camera around the OS. There's good to be said about either method, and as always it means a choice for you and me. We love choices.

But are you interested? Is there going to be a market for this type of camera? That's where the poll comes into play. You'll find our polls in the sidebar now, where they won't get lost in the onslaught of Android news and end up buried before you get time to vote. We'll let them run about a week, then come back with the results when we post a new one.

Speaking of results, last week's poll was "Has the patent-infringement lawsuit changed your view of Samsung"? Here's your results --

I'm a bigger fan than before (51.05%; 1428 votes)Nope. It's still the same (41.51%; 1161 votes)I now think less of Samsung (3.79%; 106 votes)Didn't like Samsung before, don't like 'em now (3.65%; 102 votes)

Clearly, most people aren't too affected by the verdict. Be sure vote in this week's poll, which you can find after the break or in the sidebar to the right.
