Thanks! Good article, I've been behind on industry news in USA and Europe due to dialup connections here. Now if anyone cares to read below here it is my take on why i like this article. <<IFone plans to release six Java-compatible games this September, with a further half dozen planned for December 2001. >> Late. Asia has better faster. <<Carey predicts that users will pay around 50p to download a game, which they will then have to delete afterwards. "A phone running one of these games wouldn't have much room left to do much else, so you'd have to get rid of it after you have finished playing," he said>> Hassle. BREW enabled phones don't need to delete their apps per use. Now you incur air charges everytime you want to play a game. Yuck. <<Mobile phone users keen to experience childhood favourites like Pong and Centipede will have to invest in a phone that can run a form of Java called Java2 MicroEdition (J2ME). >> Java apps are bigger than BREW apps which will cause handset makers to have to put more expensive ram chips into their phone to run ATARI-like games. Games I have seen in Asia are much better quality than Atari level. Color gameboy and up are about the equivalent of those that I saw. <<ISoccer will be playable on handsets that run Symbian\'s\ Epoc\ 6 -- but Carey doesn't expect that many games based on Epoc 6 will be available until mid-2002. >> late again.
