Nokia Adds N-Gage Gaming to Series 60 Handsets
December 21st, 2005 | by amarfresh |Series 60, Nokia’s bread and butter operating system, is getting features once exclusive to the N-Gage handsets.
“N-Gage is still being sold but it was not a success in the sense of developing a new category. We learnt that people want to play games on all devices. As such we are integrating the gaming software into Series 60 phones,” Vasara stated.
No new N-Gage specific handsets are due for release, but Series 60 handsets have a huge penetration. A mature N-Gage gaming platform arriving to these wide-release handsets will only bode well for Nokia. Clearly the leader in mobile gaming technology, other handset manufacturers (and cellcos) will have a hard time matching the N-Gage products.
