There is huge opportunity in games for cell phones but there are other parts to mobile entertainment. TheFeature takes a look at the new Mobile Game Development Special Interest Group (MGD-SIG) created within the International Game Developers Association. As the MGD-SIG is the first independent (i.e. not affiliated with a publisher, handset maker, research firm or carrier) information exchange with real backing, it will push innovation in mobile games by offering details on new technologies, genres unique to mobile, and techniques for bypassing the carriers' walled gardens."
