Papo & Yo dev's next game is a love story set in the Amazon
Minority Media, the studio behind Papo & Yo and the upcoming Silent Enemy, have announced another upcoming game designed to tug at your heartstrings. According to the Canada Media Fund database, Cali tells the story of Massi, a young boy from the Amazon who becomes separated from his group and discovers a pixie-like creature named Cali. Game Informer reports that creative director for Minority Media Vander Caballero did not give many details during the game's announcement, only saying that the game would tell a story of "what it would be like to fall in love with an AI avatar." The CMF database also notes that, "while Cali is the secret to Massi's future success, there is a deadly reason why she cannot, or will not, help." Game Informer also reports that Caballero confirmed the game would be heading to "new-gen consoles," while the CMF database describes the game as in development for iOS, Android and "the Cloud."

Orbitel, Siemens roll out WiMax in Colombia
Hot on the heels of last week's WiBro rollout in South Korea, Colombian long-distance operator Orbitel has teamed up with hardware manufacturer Siemens to deploy Latin America's first WiMax network in the city of Cali. The long-range wireless network, which will be duplicated in fourteen other cities in the upcoming months, employs Siemens' WayMax@dvantage (that's not a typo) system of base stations, modems, and monitoring and control gear to ensure interoperability with future devices based on the IEEE's 802.16e-2005 standard. WiMax is a particularly attractive option in countries whose wired infrastructures are still rather limited, allowing service providers to essentially leapfrog right over current broadband solutions and offer high-speed connections with considerably less capital expenditure. Orbitel is currently selling several service packages ranging from $39 to $325 per month, which supposedly buys you download speeds in the range of 2Mbps.[Via GigaOm]
