So many downloads is a big deal, yeh? In games industry, gold and platinum should mean something else beside production phases. Glamour comes with milestones in sales 100,000 and 500,000 or 1,000,000. These are the things to report and overglow across the web. Mobliss is doing the right thing by coming out and putting this message of one million sold “Deal or No Deal” mobile game in front of our eyes.

Fascinating rumors are circulating around net. No, forget the rumors, this is news that we are dealing with here. Official N-Gage blog tells us that more and more publishers are lining up to the ranks of companies, which support coming generation of N-Gage gadgets. This comes quite soon after the announcement of platform discontinuation.

It is also peculiar that Nokia firmly denies that they are preparing new N-Gage platform. Maybe this time the faceless marketing staff at Nokia is able to mull enough street level support and credibility for the platform that it won’t crash land on its face after take-off. Anyway, we are also writing about N-Gage even it is dead, so looks like they are doing a good work on rallying the market enthusiasm, but in this, Apple they are not.

Women gamers have been the stone of Midas in game industry for as long as games have existed. Interestingly enough only the other sex seems to be interested in games and the other does something else to fill their schedules.

Over the years, many game companies have been established to tap this unused market demographic - women gamers. Equally many have failed, exited the market all together or steered towards men again.

Now we have another contender that is going after the women money. Actually this is no new kid on the block, instead GOSUB 60 was founded year 2003 and they boast with a team that has over 50% of women workers.

Here at brand mobile phones, we think that it is a smart move to go after women gamers via mobile phones. Women love their shiny mobile phones and everybody has one. This is not the case with women and computers. GOSUB 60 combines the benefits of platform and market niche. If they execute their plans well, we just might have a winner.

Greystripe, the company that I just recently noticed in my radar just signed a partnership with Asian mobile community myGamma. This move makes lot of sense, because myGamma can extract more revenue from their 1,5 million mobile users and Greystripe is a one more step closer to gaining critical mass for their ad serving mobile game network. We might be witnessing the birth of a new mobile game business model.
