Nokia N95-3 vs. I took some pictures of the Gorillapod in action below, but there are more Gorillapod pictures at Joby. Tripods are necessary for low light pictures where it is important that the camera does not move when taking pictures. Another cool thing about it is the attachment that snaps your camera in.

These are all videos taken by my current and past Nokia Nseries phones and are now more accessible. I’ll try to see if I can bring those back. Have you bumped into any bugs yet?

adgames: downloads 1.6m from Opera free Mobile games Mini
One of the most interesting avenues for mobile games — and especially Flash Lite games — is the adgaming; today mainly meaning games that are distributed for free, and the revenue comes from showing the ads before and after the actual gameplay (just like in the internet). If there is no access to the network, the game is/might not be playable at all. Although the number of Flash Lite enabled devices is on the rise, lot of phones don’t have Flash Lite. If you have any thoughts on the subject, feel free to post comments. How that legislation reacts to free mobile games — is anybody’s guess. It may well be, that the old models of pay per download or subscribe to a monthly service will not be as lucrative for Flash Lite content as the viral advertising model: PRO’s As End users are easily able to distribute Flash Lite files to each other; for example via bluetooth - just send the file from your mobile device to another [that has Flash Lite player] and there it is immediately; no installation, just find the game from your inbox, click, and play. Piracy is not an issue; as developer/publisher want the game to be accessed by as many people as possible, as the revenue comes solely from viewing the adds = more games played, more revenue Direct to consumer distribution is easier (as consumers, end-users, distribute the games to their friends) CON’s Legislation: legislation concerning mobile marketing differs vastly from country to country, and there are no clear rules. (on November 23rd, 2007, Opera announced that the Opera Mini browser has been installed in more than 26 million devices - what is the churn rate [meaning how many of the old devices are still in use] is not known by us — Opera Mini officially launched worldwide on January 24, 2006). And how it works: “The Opera Mini homepage now includes a GameJump bookmark, allowing users to access Greystripe’s freemobile game portal with one easy click.” Now, when you think about the possibilities with Flash Lite games and other content, you should immediately realize that viral distribution (one of the reasons is the lack of built in DRM, Digital Rights Management), and installation, of Flash Lite files is far more easier than with J2ME — which generates an opportunity. In order to show ads and count the number of ads showed, the mobile device needs to connect to the network — which creates some data transfer costs. Currently it is not an issue, but might prove to be one in the future. Airtime: the catch with free games is that they show ads. When using term Advergaming, that usually refers to paid content, for example game comissioned by a client, to be used as a marketing tool for certain campaign or product. And the trend seems to be quite strong: according to this press release by Opera / Greystripe, during 60 days of launching a free downloadable mobile game service, over 1.6 million games and applications were downloaded.

Thoughts Casual on Games
Here are some thoughts on the subject: According to a report by CGA (Casual Games Association), on the web, casual game demographics are: buyers are mostly female (74 percent) and over 35 years (72 percent) BUT only slightly more than half of the players of casual games are female (51 percent) and they’re also a little younger (just 62 percent are over 35) 80 percent of those with children/grandchildren play casual games with them THINGS TO UNDERSTAND: If you want to access a mass market, instead of dominating a small niche, think beyond the hardcore game audience, no matter what your personal preferences are. Reasons for playing include: educational use of leisure time mental exercise confidence building stress relief entertainment pain relief THINGS TO UNDERSTAND: Entertainment is not the only, or even the most important reason, for playing a casual game. Sources: Gamasutra: Opinion: Reflexive’s Carroll On Understanding The Casual Gamer As Casual Games are the hottest topic/genre on mobile games, it’s worthwhile to every Flash Lite game developer to ponder a bit who is buing casual games online (as that market has been growing a lot for the past couple of years), and what reasons people have for playing the games.

Mini Mobile games free from adgames: 1.6m downloads Opera
How that legislation reacts to free mobile games — is anybody’s guess. One of the most interesting avenues for mobile games — and especially Flash Lite games — is the adgaming; today mainly meaning games that are distributed for free, and the revenue comes from showing the ads before and after the actual gameplay (just like in the internet). In order to show ads and count the number of ads showed, the mobile device needs to connect to the network — which creates some data transfer costs. When using term Advergaming, that usually refers to paid content, for example game comissioned by a client, to be used as a marketing tool for certain campaign or product. And the trend seems to be quite strong: according to this press release by Opera / Greystripe, during 60 days of launching a free downloadable mobile game service, over 1.6 million games and applications were downloaded. It may well be, that the old models of pay per download or subscribe to a monthly service will not be as lucrative for Flash Lite content as the viral advertising model: PRO’s As End users are easily able to distribute Flash Lite files to each other; for example via bluetooth - just send the file from your mobile device to another [that has Flash Lite player] and there it is immediately; no installation, just find the game from your inbox, click, and play. Piracy is not an issue; as developer/publisher want the game to be accessed by as many people as possible, as the revenue comes solely from viewing the adds = more games played, more revenue Direct to consumer distribution is easier (as consumers, end-users, distribute the games to their friends) CON’s Legislation: legislation concerning mobile marketing differs vastly from country to country, and there are no clear rules. If there is no access to the network, the game is/might not be playable at all. Although the number of Flash Lite enabled devices is on the rise, lot of phones don’t have Flash Lite. If you have any thoughts on the subject, feel free to post comments. (on November 23rd, 2007, Opera announced that the Opera Mini browser has been installed in more than 26 million devices - what is the churn rate [meaning how many of the old devices are still in use] is not known by us — Opera Mini officially launched worldwide on January 24, 2006). And how it works: “The Opera Mini homepage now includes a GameJump bookmark, allowing users to access Greystripe’s freemobile game portal with one easy click.” Now, when you think about the possibilities with Flash Lite games and other content, you should immediately realize that viral distribution (one of the reasons is the lack of built in DRM, Digital Rights Management), and installation, of Flash Lite files is far more easier than with J2ME — which generates an opportunity. Currently it is not an issue, but might prove to be one in the future. Airtime: the catch with free games is that they show ads.
