Mobile game reviews

Might do some work for a Mobile gaming company, not a company that actually makes mobile games, but a company that has a site that writes mobile game reviews and has mobile phone game news and things. Not much of a mobile gamer myself and might not end up doing the work. Came in via journo-Stu, he's the type who actually reviews mobile games.

From wikipedia:

A mobile game is a computer software game played on a mobile phone.

Mobile games may be played using the communications technologies present in the phone itself, such as by text message (SMS), multimedia message (MMS) or GPRS location identification. More common, however, are games that are downloaded to the mobile phone and played using a set of game technologies on the device.

Mobile games are usually downloaded via the mobile operator's radio network, but in some cases are also loaded into the mobile handsets when purchased, or via infrared connection, Bluetooth or memory card.

Mobile games are developed using technologies such as Macromedia's Flash Lite, DoCoMo's DoJa, Sun's J2ME (Java 2 Micro Edition, recently rebranded simply "Java ME"), Qualcomm's BREW (Binary Runtime for Wireless) or Infusio's ExEn (Execution Environment). Other platforms are also available, but not as common.
