Mobile Gaming with BREW

Posted by michael on from the don't-brew-and-drive dept.

KeelSpawn writes "For the most of us who are bored with playing that game called "Snake" -- chasing a black dot with a string of lines -- that likely came standard with your cell phone, here's some interesting news. Try a round of golf instead, or a combat game called "Gladiator." Soon, even the ever popular "Dungeons & Dragons". All those will be playable through cellphones, wirelessly."

  1. Money Making? by Peridriga · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I'm shocked to hear that no company has stepped up fill the wireless void in gambling...

    With so much money there I'm shocked no one has done it...

    With like 10 cents a bet over the phone you could rake in some money.

    btw... I just patented that idea :-)

    Some people say that these games appear on your cellphones so you will wear out the buttons and have to buy new phones.

  3. Lagging, because we were ahead by AndyChrist · · Score: 3, Insightful

    " America lags partly because only half of its adult population has cell phones, compared to 65 percent in Japan and 70 percent in Taiwan and Hong Kong. "

    Most likely because unlike many countries, the land-line phone system in the US does not suck. AT&T at it's worst was never the pain in the ass that NTT is/was.
