ZXDS v0.5.1 (Beta 1) (ZX Spectrum emu for NDS)

ZXDS is an upcoming emulator of Sinclair ZX Spectrum for Nintendo DS, written by Patrik Rak. It is still in a very early stage of development, but it already has some noteworthy features, like emulation of Spectrum 128k (including sound) or TAP/TZX/PZX support.

There are two versions, ZXDS.nds for Slot-1 (DS slot) based cards, and ZXDS.ds.gba for Slot-2 (GBA slot) based cards. Just choose the one which suits your card best.

iPhoneeBooks v0.3 (iPhone Application)

iPhone Books.app is a simple eBook reader for the iPhone. It reads HTML and text files stored in your Media/EBooks folder, and is smart enough to enter subdirectories, if, for instance, you’ve broken a book down by chapters.

Eventually, this project will include a simple method of syncing eBooks to your iPhone. At the moment, that’s handled by iPHUC and a shell script called copybookdir.sh. As of v. 0.2, this script is included in the .tar.gz download.

Books.app is recommended for use with Project Gutenberg texts, in conjunction with GutenMark, a fantastic PG markup tool by Ronald Burkey, which makes pretty HTML out of Gutenberg .txt files, and splits them by chapter using a second tool.
