And that's not all they have <A HREF="http://www.hovr.com" REL="nofollow">free mobile games</A> for virtually all the brands of mobile games. You need to first register and choose your mobile phone and then you can <A HREF="http://www.hovr.com" REL="nofollow">download cell phone games</A> via SMS, WAP or you can download them on to your pc.JumpHigherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18364513506214191165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9605787.post-1161242083510764392006-10-19T12:44:00.000+05:302006-10-19T12:44:00.000+05:30Don't know how jad and jar files landed on your ph...Don't know how jad and jar files landed on your phone.

All you need to download these games for free is google and a little knowledge. Amongst all my friends who are into computer games, none of them has, to my knowledge, ever bought a mobile game. As for me, all my games are donated by the, um, file fairy. I put a blank CD under my pillow.Nachihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11410988256099955116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9605787.post-1137388569426449642006-01-16T10:46:00.000+05:302006-01-16T10:46:00.000+05:30Hey,TOI, Bangalore flicked the idea off your blog....Hey,<BR/>TOI, Bangalore flicked the idea off your blog. :-)<BR/>I'd read what you'd posted a few days back, thought whether I should put in my two cents worth about mobile gaming, decided not to, and went home. Within a couple of days, what do I see? TOI, Bangalore edition has a similar article.. :-)NVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15464821782218231494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9605787.post-1137082663231899932006-01-12T21:47:00.000+05:302006-01-12T21:47:00.000+05:30Rashmi, I hope YOU don't make the same mistake tha...Rashmi, I hope YOU don't make the same mistake that the others are making:<BR/><BR/><I>"Which is why Mauj has just launched mobile games in Hindi and 7 <B>regional</B> languages including Marathi, Gujarati, Bengali, Tamil, Malayalam, Telugu and Urdu.

May be, they do this to prop up the sentiments of the general public or to increase their revenue, but it is the reader who is left confused at last! <BR/>Another example, ET said Jet might buy Air Sahara for close to 3000 crores while CNN-IBN said Jet might acquire for around $ 560m. But, alas, the news is yet to be verified. In the race for being the first, they hush up numbers and print it. Such number tinkering activities will definitely increase in the upcoming days!Venkat Ramananhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15279468362629553359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9605787.post-1137047984499617782006-01-12T12:09:00.000+05:302006-01-12T12:09:00.000+05:30A day will come when Indian subscribers will say '...A day will come when Indian subscribers will say 'Quit playing GAMES with my mobile'! :)<BR/>Nice read.

Analyst after analyst, journalist after journalist predicts numbers based on frivolous analysis and then the hype dies down.<BR/><BR/>Remember the figures that late Mr. Dewang Mehta used to throw at Indians. He & his association never used to climb below a figure of a few hundred billion dollars of e-commerce happening by the year 2005. Ofcourse reality (though quite good) is much more moderate. The same happened to the outsourcing markets - people lined to provide medical transcription services & later realised the hyped up figures. It is only now - that the market seems to be maturing. The same seems to be happening to education market. My next take would be figures that would be thrown about bio technology as business.<BR/><BR/>I remember an Indore Management Convention where former CEO of HLL - Mr, Dutta suggested that figures predicted about e-commerce cannot be met for the simple reason that both computer & internet reach in India is limited. So while there is enormous potential the road to greener pastures is a long & grueling one. Same is true of most industries.<BR/><BR/>Great piece Rashmi.Akash Sethiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11351068798810789870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9605787.post-1137024202148009942006-01-12T05:33:00.000+05:302006-01-12T05:33:00.000+05:30Interesting read.
