Mobile games are already big in Japan, but there is still room to grow on the multiplayer side. Multiplayer gaming has long been a mobile promise yet to be fulfilled. This year, the conditions have seriously improved. Data traffic prices are dropping, developers started projects, game platforms have matured and operators start pushing new business opportunities. But most importantly, consumers are waiting. Come and get an update on the latest developments in this from the industry leaders.

This company's technology formed the basis of NTT DoCoMo's “3DX3D” audio/video enhancements for the new FOMA 901i-series handsets. It is incredible how real the sound from very small speakers can sound.
