Indiagames Hits One Million Download Mark with QUALCOMM’s BREW® Solution
— India’s Largest BREW Developer to Deliver Major International Titles on BREW —
MUMBAI, India — November 9, 2006 — Indiagames Ltd., a global leader in mobile entertainment content, today announced that one million of its BREW®-based applications have been downloaded so far this year. The company achieved this milestone in a shorter span of time than in 2005, highlighting the increased availability and adoption of its titles in India and around the world. Indiagames is the largest developer of BREW-based applications in India and has successfully created and deployed several international titles, such as The Mummy, Scorpion King, Predator and Spy Kids. The company plans to make available many more exciting BREW games and applications in the coming year.
A recent study conducted by Indiagames on “downloading factors” found that sports, superheroes and celebrities are the major influencing factors that users in India consider before downloading applications. Of these categories, cricket was one of the most popular, followed by superhero theme-based games. Movie and comic strip-based games such as Predator, Bruce Lee and Garfield also are very popular among users. The study also has indicated a steady rise in the popularity of mobile game shows and celebrity-based content since their introduction in 2004 by Indiagames.
“Indiagames began developing wireless applications using QUALCOMM’s BREW solution because it is an extremely versatile and flexible platform that has enabled us to introduce innovative and exciting games not just in India but across the globe,” said Vishal Gondal, CEO and founder of Indiagames Ltd. “The BREW solution has been instrumental to us once again achieving the one million download mark, and we are certain that our relationship with QUALCOMM will continue to grow and set new benchmarks in the world of mobile gaming.”
