Mobile gaming to overtake ringtones in revenue terms
"Individuals are carrying around mobile devices for more than just productivity and convenience - some consumers also play games on these devices. Wireless gaming is on track to become the single largest wireless data application category from a revenue perspective, overtaking ringtones in 2005 and rising to nearly US$1.5 billion annually by 2008, according to a new report from IDC. Moreover, casual, community-oriented subscription game revenue will grow from a distinct minority of total revenues to market dominance by the end of 2008."
