The BBC interviews a bunch of people who think gaming may be a 3G driver. But you can have a mobile phone with a big colour screen without it being 3G and 2.5G – anything that gives you “always on” – is enough to allow multiplayer gaming. You don’t need a lot of bandwidth…
Anyway, it appears that progress on providing multi-player phone games is slower than it should be.
No wonder, it is not a big seller. It would be nice to play some puzzle, word or card games on a phone when waiting around and at odd times, but no more. I really much prefer a full screen, loud audio and seated position for playing games. A phone is not where the real action in gaming will be. I dont want to pay for play either.
