o News Corp Acquires Web Video Game Network IGN for $650 Million

New York -- Adding to a recent string of online acquisitions, Aussie media tycoon Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation announced on Thursday that its Fox Interactive Media unit has acquired IGN Entertainment, a video game news and information network, for $650 million in cash. San Francisco-based IGN claims 28 million users for its network of video game and other entertainment-related sites, which includes IGN.com, Rotten Tomatoes, AskMen.com, GameSpy and FilePlanet. The newly formed Fox Interactive Media also recently acquired social networking site MySpace.com parent Intermix for $580 million, and online sports news provider Scout Media for an undisclosed sum; News Corp. has also been rumored to be in talks to acquire Internet video search index Blinkx. News Corp. said the IGN buy will increase its U.S. Web traffic to 70 million unique monthly users, making it the fifth most-trafficked presence on the Web, and fourth-largest in terms of monthly page impressions.

o Geico, Google Settle Over Use of Trademarks in Sponsored Ads

San Francisco -- Auto insurance firm Geico announced that it has settled a lawsuit it brought against Google, over the use of its trademarks on Google's search engine advertising network, Reuters reported. Terms of the settlement were not disclosed. A federal judge ruled in August that Google did not infringe Geico's trademarks by selling keywords like "Geico" to third-party advertisers on its search ad service, but added, however, that the actual sponsored ads that advertisers themselves created and placed on the service might have infringed Geico trademarks. Judge Leonie Brinkema of the U.S. District Court in Virginia encouraged the two parties to negotiate a settlement on the latter issue, which was reached yesterday. Geico settled a similar trademark suit it brought against Google search ad rival Overture Services -- now a part of Yahoo -- in December. While these settlements fail to resolve the legality of the issue in the U.S., Google has lost two similar trademark suits related to its sponsored ads in France.

o Sony Plans New Digital Walkman Players to Counter iPod

Tokyo -- On the same day rival Apple released a new iPod nano and an iTunes cell phone, Sony announced plans to expand its line of hard disk and flash memory-based digital music players later this year, Reuters reported. "Our previous models have been well accepted by customers in Japan and the United Kingdom. But we are not at all satisfied with where we are now," said Sony Connect co-president Koichiro Tsujino. "I understand a certain company made an announcement earlier today. We will accelerate our challenge with these new models." Sony will introduce 20GB (about $315 in Japan) and 6GB hard disk-based Walkman models, in addition to three new flash memory-based players. The new players will launch in Japan on Nov. 19, and are expected to ship to foreign markets including the U.S. by the end of the year.

o MTV, Jamster to Study Mobile Entertainment Market

London -- Viacom's MTV Networks International announced on Thursday that it is teaming with Jamster, its mobile entertainment distribution partner and a unit of VeriSign, to study the usage, mechanics and frequency of downloading and streaming entertainment content to mobile phones. The study will also examine consumers' increasing reliance on mobile devices, and their impact on content creation and communication. The companies said that more than $8 billion was spent in the mobile content services market last year. "This new study in collaboration with our mobile content partner, Jamster and Jamba, will enable us to understand how the role of mobile content is evolving around the world and how we can develop compelling, new entertainment that is even more relevant to consumers," said Graham Saxton, senior vice president of MTV Networks International.

o Texas Instruments Introduces Digital Video Chip for Consumer Devices

New York -- In a bid to repeat its success in the cell phone market, for which it provides 60% of all chips, Texas Instruments on Thursday introduced a new all-in-one chip for digital video, which it claims will allow manufacturers to more efficiently release more advanced camcorders and other video products. The "Da Vinci" technology will enable color correction directly on a camcorder, instead of on a computer, in addition to allowing a single set-top box to provide playback, recording, video conferencing and home surveillance video. TI said it expects to provide Da Vinci-based processor samples, software and development tools by the end of 2005.

o MTV Films Acquires Rights to Midway Games' "The Suffering"

New York -- MTV Films announced on Thursday that it has acquired the film rights to "The Suffering," an action-horror video game from Surreal Software, a unit of publisher Midway Games. Released in April 2004, "The Suffering" features a man on death row in an island prison that is invaded by monsters he must battle to escape; a sequel, "The Suffering: Ties That Bind," is scheduled for release this month. MTV Films is working in conjunction with Stan Winston Productions ("Alien," "Predator," "Terminator") and Circle of Confusion to produce the film. The agreement follows an announcement in June between Midway and MTV to jointly market three of Midway's upcoming titles, including "L.A. Rush."

o Report: iTunes Commands 80% of U.K. Digital Music Market

London -- Apple announced that its iTunes Music Store currently commands about 80% of the U.K. digital-music sales market. Citing recent figures from the Charts Company, Apple claimed that it was by far the largest digital music service in the U.K., boasting more than 1.7 million songs in its local catalogue. "We're thrilled that music fans in the U.K. have made the iTunes Music Store their number one choice for purchasing digital music," said Apple iTunes Vice President Eddy Cue. "We feature the largest catalogue in the U.K. … and strive to bring iTunes customers the hottest new and exclusive content in the world."

o Study: E-mail, Weather, Search Sites Preferred by Mobile Users

San Francisco -- E-mail, weather and search web sites are the most popular among consumers logging online through their mobile phones, according to a new study by San Francisco-based Telephia. The company said that 4.8% of the 191 million U.S. wireless users accessed web email sites in June. Weather0related sites (3.9%) and search sites (2.9) weren't far behind, followed by sites featuring sports and news and politics. The most popular sites among mobile users included The Weather Channel, Yahoo Mail, MSN Hotmail, Google Search and ESPN. "For people on the go, accessing the Internet through their mobile devices is an extension of their Internet use on their PC," said Kanishka Agarwal, Telephia's vice president of new products. "It is not surprising top mobile Internet categories mirror Internet content categories accessed via a computer."
