As gaming becomes a fastest-growing usage category of mobile, Neomobile bets on gaming apps powered by HTML5 and cloud technologies.
Martin (Marty) Smith's insight:
Great article on the state of mobile gaming. Love this section: As the gaming industry shifts its focus from computers and consoles to mobile devices, the demand for new games rises, as each smart device owner becomes a gamer: the number of gamers will reach 1,55 billion this year.[2] The availability of these new gaming devices, broad-band coverage, the screen size and new business models are influencing the gaming expansion. Mobile games are becoming an increasingly important component of the global industry and currently account for 33% of all app downloads and an impressive 66% of all app revenue[2]. They are also the most time consuming: 32% of our time on mobile we spend playing games, far ahead of browsing (20%) and Facebook (18 %)[3]. - See more at: http://www.neomobile-blog.com/html5-mobile-game-momentum-neomobile-invests-boostermedia/#sthash.W6Z2gajZ.dpuf
