Product Code: R760-249Description During 2005 and 2006 mobile gaming was not popular with consumers, due to high download fees and restrictive service models. But since then the application processing power of mobile phones has increased, display resolution has increased, and broadband networks have become mature allowing for improved download and gameplay environments. Also, console and PC game publishers and media corporations like EA, Namco, Disney, and Time Warner have entered the mobile gaming market, all of which has brought renewed interest to mobile gaming. In 2006, the value of the global mobile gaming market was only US$2.13 billion, 1.8% of global mobile data service revenues, so there is obviously much room for growth. This report analyzes the development of the global mobile gaming market, emerging mobile gaming application fields, and changes in mobile gaming service models in order to understand future mobile gaming trends.Table of Contents - Global Mobile Gaming Development Trends
