This database could be an essential resource to a wide range of groups: * Mobile (and non mobile) Games Developers, Publishers, Aggregators, Distributors and Portals plus Mobile games Porting and Localisation (programming) localisation - (l10n) Adapting a product to meet the language, cultural and other requirements of a specific target market "locale".

It should be noted that where enterprises have subsidiaries operating in more than one country we have counted them separately (although they obviously all share the same parent). This database contains 373 records. The database includes all enterprises which develop, publish, aggregate, distribute or promote mobile games for the following devices: * J2ME (Java 2 Platform, Micro Edition) A version of Java 2 for cellphones, PDAs and consumer appliances. J2ME uses the K Virtual Machine (KVM), a specialized Java interpreter for devices with limited memory. (Java) enabled Cell Phones * BREW enabled Cell Phones * Doja / iMode compatible Cell Phones * Smartphones [Windows Mobile The Windows platform from Microsoft for handheld devices, including PDAs, cellphones and Portable Media Centers. See Pocket PC, Pocket PC Phone Edition, Smartphone and Portable Media Center. ] * Symbian/Series 60 Cell Phones * Mophun-enabled Cell Phones * ExEn/EGE enabled Cell Pones * N-Gage compatible Series 60 Cell Phones * Blackberry However, we have excluded specialists in the creation of online gambling Online gambling is a general term for gambling using the Internet.

Types The database focuses on the following enterprise types (DAPPs - Developers, Aggregators-Distributors, Publishers, Portals): (a) Mobile Games Developers These are creators of games for mobile handsets. Such games can either be downloaded onto mobile handsets or embedded Inserted into. See embedded system. into hardware at the point of manufacture. Developers often specialise in terms of the platforms that they support, with the majority creating mobile games using the J2ME and BREW platforms. (b) Mobile Games Content Aggregators-Distributors Mobile Games Aggregators assemble/gather mobile content (games, as well as ringtones, wallpapers, graphics, music tracks etc) from a variety of developmental sources. They provide access to consumers, Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) and even handset manufacturers. They also assist in promoting games from their portals. The Aggregator's role is increasingly overlapping with that of the Publisher. It should be noted that Mobile Games Distributors (akin to wholesalers) have also been included in this category. (c) Mobile Games Publishers Mobile Games Publishers distribute, promote and publish mobile games on behalf of the smaller players in the development community, helping them to gain access to channels (Mobile Network Operators, Content Aggregators An organization that combines information such as news, sports scores, weather forecasts and reference materials from various sources and makes it available to its customers. See customer aggregator. and even handset manufacturers for embedded solutions) otherwise denied to them. (d) Mobile Games Portals Most of the major Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) such as Vodafone, T-Mobile, Verizon Wireless Cellco Partnership, doing business as Verizon Wireless, owns and operates the second largest wireless telecommunications network in the United States, based on total wireless customers. , NTT DoCoMo (NTT Mobile Communications Network, Inc., Japan) Founded in 1991, NTT DoCoMo is a spinoff of Japan's NTT (Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation) which provides wireless services, including cellular, paging, satellite and maritime and in-flight telephone services. and Orange have created web portals (Vodafone live!, t-zones, Get It Now!, i-Mode, Orange World), which provide access to a wide repertoire of mobile content. Such sites often list hundreds of mobile games, available for download. Increasingly these portals have been opened up, providing links to independent, third party portals which provide access to an even wider repertoire of software. A number of MVNOs (Mobile Virtual Network Operators A Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) is a company that provides mobile (sometimes called wireless or cellular) telephone service but does not have its own allocation of the radio frequency spectrum nor all of the infrastructure required to provide mobile telephone service. ) also offer games for download from their portals. What form does the Mobile Games DAPPs Database come in? The database is being made available in CSV (1) (Comma Separated Value) Same as comma delimited. (2) (Computer System Validation) See software validation. CSV - comma separated values (Comma Separated Values (file format) comma separated values - (CSV) A file format used as a portable representation of a database. Each line is one entry or record and the fields in a record are separated by commas. Commas may be followed by arbitrary space and/or tab characters which are ignored. ) format. The latter enables it to be ported into Excel, Access and a host of other industry standard databases. The comma-separated values The comma-separated values (or CSV; also known as a comma-separated list or comma-separated variables) file format is a file type that stores tabular data. The format dates back to the early days of business computing. (or CSV) file format is a file type that stores tabular data (like in an Excel sheet). The format is long established and as a consequence CSV files are common on all computer platforms. Note that this CSV file use double quotation marks quotation marks Noun, pl the punctuation marks used to begin and end a quotation, either `` and '' or ` and ' quotation marks npl → comillas fpl (") as a text qualifier, allowing commas to be used in long addresses.

Database Coverage As at March 12th 2007 the coverage in the database was as follows: Degree to which Fields are Populated with Data Assigned Codes indicating whether Mobile Games enterprises are Developers (D), Aggregator-Distributors (A), Publishers (Pu) or Portals (Po) 100% The Enterprise Name 100% The Enterprise Website 100% The Country in which the Enterprise is based 100% The Name of a Senior Executive 96% The Job Title the Senior Executive 96% HQ Email Address 99% HQ Telephone Number 93% HQ Fax Number(a) 64%(a) The Postal Address 98% (a) Not all enterprises have Fax Numbers, relying instead on emails Company Email Addresses These often represent the first point of online contact into individual Mobile Games enterprises. Sites vary enormously in how they control communications In telecommunication, control communications is the branch of technology devoted to the design, development, and application of communications facilities used specifically for control purposes, such as for controlling (a) industrial processes, (b) movement of resources, (c) from the outside. Some offer up the names of nominated individuals and provide direct email access. Many, however, use a raft of generic contact email addresses. At the same time an increasing number of sites substitute pre-set forms to be filled in and submitted online to the company. Such an approach prevents spammers from harvesting conventional contact addresses. Wherever possible we have collected not only the generic email address, but also the name, job title and address of the most senior person in the enterprise - e.g. CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. , MD, Chairman, Founder, Owner etc. These have been obtained not only from the Website, but also from a wide range of other sources including direct enquiry. Caveat [Latin, Let him beware.] A warning; admonition. A formal notice or warning given by an interested party to a court, judge, or ministerial officer in opposition to certain acts within his or her power and jurisdiction. We acknowledge that any large database cannot be 100% accurate, particularly in fast moving markets where there are new start-ups, mergers, acquisitions and failures on a weekly basis. What we believe to be a fact, however, is that the coverage and accuracy offered by this database is, almost certainly, unequalled by any other single source in the world. We have assumed throughout that enterprise websites offer a fair and accurate reflection of their trading status. Occasionally, however, this may not be the case, with Webmasters sometimes failing to record key events or changes in a company's status until some time after the event. To counter this we constantly monitor industry developments across a wide range of industry sources to validate, wherever possible, an enterprise's trading status. What can be found on the database? For each Mobile Games enterprise we have attempted to collect the following details.
