BUZZCITY SAYS MORE ARE DOWNLOADING MOBILE GAMERS VIA BLACKBERRY
KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 13 (Bernama) -- Global mobile media company BuzzCity says
there has been a growth in the download of mobile games via BlackBerry devices.
Its latest Djuzz Mobile Gaming Metrics report attributed the blossoming use
to more affordable data and pre-paid packages from local telecommunication
companies as well as the launch by Research In Motion (RIM), which is the
producer of BlackBerry, of its own AppWorld and support for HTML5 (WebWorks)
last year.
In a statement today, BuzzCity said its Dec 2010 mobile game report
highlighted trends in mobile gaming over the past eleven months and analysed the
traffic and usage of its mobile gaming portal Djuzz.
It said the portal delivered nearly 50 million games in less than one year
of operations.
Djuzz delivered more than nine million games for December alone, which was
an 18 per cent increase.
However, in January there were 120,000 unique daily visitors (up by nine
per cent from November) with each one generating at least four downloads.
"Mobile gaming is going from strength to strength and we expect 2011 to be
an exciting time for the mobile gaming community, from developers through to
brands who use games to reach their audiences, while we anticipate further
growth from non-traditional gaming devices such as BlackBerry," said BuzzCity's
Chief Executive Officer KF Lai.
