For Business or Pleasure?
According to this article the idea of advanced phones being used for corporate data services was in practice dead wrong, and that the killer app is really gaming. At least the industry is preparing for that, with a wave of acquisitions.
Jamba (acquired by Verisign of all companies) is stated as a mobile game provider. Jamba's main business is ringtones, and I believe that was the reason Verisign acquired them (being Europe's biggest provider of such), not for games.
When will Gameloft be acquired (from Ubisoft)?
