Nokia provides SNAP Mobile multiplayer games

[Mod]

Nokia will provide SNAP Mobile multiplayer games for download and purchase through its Nokia Content Discoverer on-device portal solution, embedded in millions of Nokia devices based on S60 and Series 40.

The arrangement provides mobile gaming publishers and developers a global distribution channel, enabling them to reach users of all Nokia Content Discoverer enabled Nokia handsets. Nokia Content Discoverer, representing the evolution of Nokia's end-to-end Preminet content discovery and delivery ecosystem for mobile operators, offers a collection of shopping mall "stores" or "catalogs" that afford mobile subscribers easy access to downloadable content from branded content providers, leading content aggregators and their mobile service provider.

Beginning in the second half of 2006, connected multiplayer titles developed on Nokia's SNAP Mobile platform will be available in selected markets through a dedicated catalog location to any user with a Nokia handset that features the Nokia Content Discoverer client. Already embedded as an on-device portal in nine Nokia handset models comprising millions of devices currently in the marketplace, Nokia Content Discoverer is slated to ship on an additional six Nokia handset models to global markets by the end of 2006.

Using Nokia Content Discoverer, mobile subscribers are able to easily discover, download and purchase localized content, applications and services, including Symbian C++ applications for S60, Java games and productivity applications, logos and background images, ring tones and True Tones, video clips and files, full-track music and Flash content. Mobile users will experience a greatly enhanced content shopping experience through Nokia Content Discoverer's advanced on-device caching of content catalog metadata and integrated preview/prelisten and installation capabilities, speeding time to discovery and download, and facilitating easy purchase of mobile content.

Nokia's SNAP Mobile is available for connected mobile game development and publishing, as well as mobile game community development. It delivers a quality connected game playing experience to users by harnessing the versatility of Java-based mobile content on a wide variety of Java MIDP2.0 compliant phones.
