OMA and the Game Services Working Group
Update 20060926: The Register hints that this might be about standardizing the Nokia N-Gage platform. Why would OMA touch that? Java ME already rules, so if anything that should be promoted by OMA.
Mobile gaming initiative gains OMA backing | The Register
Just when I had questioned the future value of OMA it goes along and does something really useful for the industry.
The agenda for this group: "establish a common definition for minimum device capabilities and measurable performance characteristics that game publishers and developers can rely upon."
Whether this means there will be only one preferred gaming platform (read: Java ME), or also BREW and other platforms will be supported, is unknown at this time.
I will follow this up as soon as I know more.
