Asia-Pacific is expected to remain the largest market for mobile games, with revenues predicted to reach $3.4 billion by 2011, up from $2.3 billion in 2008. The North American market is projected to grow to approximately $1.2 billion in 2011, up from $845 million in 2008.
The new worldwide projection for 2011 is 50% lower than what Gartner had announced in June 2007, and likely reflects ongoing economic concerns.
Gartner's new projection is similar to one made by Understanding & Solutions in December 2007. The company said mobile games would generate $6 billion in revenues in 2011, up from $3.6 billion in 2007.
Juniper Research made a much more aggressive projection in November 2007, putting 2012 mobile gaming revenues at $16 billion.

AMCG: Amico Games Corp,. an information and technology company, reportedly announced that Galaxy Software Limited has developed a proprietary game user interface, which will enable its mobile phone gamers to adapt to most models of Java mobile phones.
The software company, which develops mobile phone games for the Chinese market, entered into an agreement to acquire Galaxy Software Limited.
Currently, mobile phone game developers have to develop specialized versions of their games in order to support different models of mobile phones which is time consuming as there are several models of phones in the market. The proprietary game UI developed by Galaxy will be able to resolve this problem and will offer support for different models of Java mobile phones, Amico sources said.
When a game is downloaded users will be able to adjust the game screen, color style and game layout according to their mobile phones. This universal application of the new game UI enabled Galaxy to reduce its research and development expenditure and also the game sizes thereby increasing its efficiency.
“I am excited to see the completion of this new user interface. It will allow us to develop games more quickly and cost efficiently,” Peter Liu, CEO and president of AMCG, said. “We have applied the new UI to our Java games, and all our Java game players will be able to benefit from the new customization options. Meanwhile, we will be able to complete R&D of new mobile phone games much more quickly so that we can develop more games, thus increasing revenues and shareholder value.”
Amico Games Corp. specializes in developing and operating mobile phone multiplayer networked games. The company entered into an agreement to acquire Galaxy through a share exchange transaction.
Galaxy develops and operates Java MMRPOG or massive multiplayer role playing online games especially for mobile phones. It provides multiplayer games over the WAP platform of China Mobile (News - Alert) a mobile phone provider based upon subscribers.

China Mobile leads 3G user base growth — China Business News
China's three major mobile carriers saw big surges in 3G users last year, according to their December figures reported yesterday.
China Mobile, the world's largest mobile carrier by numbers of subscribers, had signed up 3.408 million 3G users by the end of December. The 3G growth rate outpaced that of its 2G business, which added only 4.238 million new subscribers in December - a three-year low.
China Unicom had accumulated a total of 2.742 million 3G users by the end of 2009. Although the company launched its 3G network only three months previously, its strong showing is putting pressure on China Mobile.
China Telecom, which has been in the 3G market longer than its rivals, did not give exact figures but a third party said it has 4.81 million 3G users.

AMCG News out today. Looks like this one is building some momentum this morning. Still at a great entry price we can see some great price apprecation. Here is the news...
SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - 04/01/10) - Amico Games Corp. (OTC.BB:AMCG - News), an information technology company specializing in developing and operating cell phone multiplayer networked games, today announces that Tencent, the largest online game platform in China, migrated its three cell phone games subscriber bases to Journey to the West Online. Amico Games has become the first cooperative partner of Tencent for the game user migration plan. Tencent's cell phone game user migration plan started in early 2010. In the plan, Tencent will gradually close down those cell phone games in poor performance and transfer their game subscribers to other cell phone games with excellent performance. Amico Games' K-Java cell phone game of Journey to the West Online was selected as the first migration target to receive these game users. For retaining those new game users, Amico Games set up a series of beneficial game activities to help Tencent rebuild the game users' confidence in the gaming platform. "We are happy to become the first migration target to accept Tencent's cell phone game users, which indicates that Tencent regards our cell phone game as the best in its cell phone game offerings," commented Mr. Peter Liu, CEO and President of AMCG. "It will take a couple of months to complete the migration process because those game users need time to adapt to our cell phone game. We have designed a well-prepared guideline and gifting package to these new game users from Tencent, so as to guide them to enjoy our games and familiarize them with our game environment. We will continue to cooperate and support Tencent to implement their game user migration plan, as well as increase our game users and brand influence in China
