My principal interest in mobile applications is to push the boundaries of innovation to create uniquely mobile experiences. I hope my blogs excite and challenge developers to think 'outside the box'.

New mobile games book

coultonp | 30 January, 2008 12:33

I thought I would announce the new book I contributed to with my colleague Fadi Chehimi called ‘Games on the Symbian OS’ by my fellow champion Jo Stichbury.

The book itself "shows the potential for creating mobile games for Symbian Smartphone’s such as S60 3rd Edition, UIQ 3 or FOMA devices. It covers various aspects of mobile games on Symbian OS, with contributions from a number of experts in the mobile games industry, including Nokia’s N-Gage team, Ideaworks3D, and ZingMagic, as well as academics leading the field of innovative mobile experiences."

 Fadi and I had the pleasure of producing the chapter on using the phone hardware (camera, accelerometers, amongst other fun stuff) and the book will be launched at GDC next month.  I have long espoused the need for a book of this sort so was delighted when Jo asked me to contribute.  I am speaking at Mobile GDC on “Mobile Games 2.0: the rise of the mobile widget?” so if anyone is going to be there feel free to say high.

Oh yes we will be producing something special for the Boom widget so even if you cant make it dowload it an see what happens
