This is a video of Portal being played on an iPhone, and it looks pretty good. But it's probably not an actual port of Portal.

The video says the demo was made using the Unity Engine, which means they took some Portal assets and made a small demo with them. They didn't take the full game and squish it onto the iPhone; what you see is probably the entire thing. There's no way the Source Engine is running on the 3G. Maybe the 3GS, but not the 3G.

In any case, I imagine trying to play Portal using touch controls would ruin the entire experience anyways. Just stick to playing it on at PC/console. [Touch Arcade via Kotaku]

<![CDATA[The Portal Gun Build Process, Documented in 113 Photos]]> You've already seen the famous fan-made Portal Gun. Now see the entire build process documented in 113 photos (OK, only about 40 of them actually showing the gun in its raw clay form).

There aren't any clear instructions detailing just how to build your own gun, but you're way too lazy to ever actually build a recreation. Luckily, if you're sitting on a small mountain of cash, you can go to the creator's site for any business inquiries. Apparently, Portal's developer Valve has ordered a model. And if you're willing to stand in line long enough, maybe you could score one, too.

See all of the build photos here: [GameDaily]

<![CDATA[GLaDOS GPS Voice Might Make You Think the Directions are a Lie]]> Sure, a Knight Rider GPS system is cool if you're in your 40s and remember watching the show when it was first on, but what about people looking for a GPS navigator with a more contemporary cultural reference? How about GLaDOS from Portal, one of the best games of the last few years?

Sure, you might be worried that GLaDOS will trick you into thinking you're heading towards Six Flags or the bakery, all while directing you to drive into the gaping maw of an active volcano. But you've just got to keep telling yourself that it's just a voice on an otherwise-reliable Garmin Nuvi. It's actually not an official voicepack; it's a pet project of Ryan VanMiddlesworth. But if you own a Garmin Nuvi, you can go ahead and download it now. [Project Page via Engadget]

<![CDATA[HP Employee Slices Birthday Cake, Fanboy Hearts With MacBook Air]]> After viewing this pic of Rahul Sood, the CTO of HP's gaming division this afternoon, we're left to wonder here at the Weekend Gizmodo news desk whether the MacBook Air was misnamed. Perhaps MacBook Shank is more apt; or the MacBook Shiv; or even something cross-promotional, like the Ginsu Mac. Regardless, we've seen this thing cut bread, and we know its cousin the MacBook can cut skin. No optical drive? Who needs it! This thing can help you lay down a podcast and win a bar fight at the same time. Bonus points to anyone who can name that cake. [Rahul Sood via TechCrunch]

<![CDATA[PC Stands For Portal Case]]> Much more tech-y than some case mods we could mention is this Weighted Companion deal from Magnus Persson, based on those handy crate-like things all you Portal players are fond of throwing around. Magnus designed and completed the 7.9-inch-wide case in the space of a week. Still, he managed to successfully squeeze a VIA Epia EX1500G motherboard in there along with a PicoPSU, 2GB of memory, a 250GB HDD and WLAN, which makes it pretty capable for its tiny dimensions. Shame about the cutsey hearts, but we've got to blame the game designers for that. [Bit-tech]
