Mobile Phone Software mWare

Ben42 · 11-01-2006, 03:45 PM

With all this hype around .mobi will there be more jobs to code for mWare?

What platforms do mobile phones use? They seem like they may vary from phone to phone. If you could create a really great game or software people might download it.

Then how do you get them to pay for it? Do mobile phone companies have complete control?

Any input appreciated.

Well most games are done in Java and i guess you'd have to find out what commands in java the phone can interpret. Then you'd have something like a sms mailer to email them the download link after purchase, either that or you would get like a sms message that charges them for receiving it, they would then click the link and access it via WAP.

iMode in the UK is another interesting concept that i will be looking into.
