Cell Phone Users Increase Gaming
The Pew Research Center reports that while 42% Americans now own videogame consoles, 34% of cell phone users now play games on them. Sixty percent of younger gamers also play on their cellies. We expect those numbers will increase as more iPhone users become addicted to Doodle Jump (Qbert in disguise.)

PlayNow Arena Adds Movies
Sony Ericsson's PlayNow Arena, a European service that currently allows downloading of games and music, plans to add movies this month with W995 in Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and the UK. Users get to choose from about 15 movies a month, download them on their PC, transfer to phone, then watch for up to 90 days. We expect this will be a trend, as it seems once one company comes up with an edge, others tend to jump on the selected bandwagon.
