|---|---|
| Mobile games are a prime example of a successful mobile application and demonstrate the increasing range of relevant platforms for the media and entertainment industries. Against this convergent background, the chapter introduces the basic features of the mobile gaming market and its industrial ecosystem together with its main players and activities. The focus of the chapter lies in the challenges ahead for the evolution of mobile into a potentially dominant game platform; the role of the diff erent software platforms; and the opportunities for game developers in a new scenario dominated by smartphones, new portable devices, broadband ubiquity, increasingly mobile social networks and emerging context awareness. | |
