Thanks to Frank for sending this one in since I had not heard about it from Bplay. Turns out that Bplay’s new game, The Bourne Conspiracy, is now up for sale on their site. Looks like a cool action game. Sadly there is no trial but the recent action/adventure games from Bplay have been quite [...]

Stefano just let me know that Vodafone just released a version of Desktop Manager 4.6. I tried installing it and it worked in English so it should work for you.
