"The N-Gage was a smart  smartphone combining features of a mobile phone and a  handheld game system. N-Gage attempted to lure gamers away from the Game Boy Advance by including telephone functionality. This was unsuccessful, partly because the buttons, designed for a telephone, were not well-suited for gaming. The original N-Gage was described as resembling a taco, which led to its mocking nickname "Taco phone" - Wiki

Coke II was discontinued in July 2002. It remains influential as a cautionary tale against tampering with a well-established and successful brand

Dubbed the “Virus Vanguard”, they were a group of five “superheroes” who were supposed to galvanise the country in its fight against the Covid-19 pandemic. But the campaign was launched on Monday (April 20) to mixed reactions, going viral but not necessarily in a positive way.

By 11pm, the article introducing the superheroes on the Government website gov.sg had gone offline. In a Facebook post at around 11.30pm, the government communications portal stated that the Virus Vanguard is “undergoing a review”.

“We have received quite a lot of feedback on the characters and we will be reviewing them. We are sorry if we offended anyone,” the post stated. “As this is the first time we are exploring this content format, we appreciate your patience.”
