When Nokia launches its new mobile gaming platform next year, it won’t just be available on a couple of handsets, and you might not even need to change phone to get it.This is according to Jaakko Kaidesoja from Nokia’s Play New Experience division, who’s in charge of the next-gen N-Gage, and who’s due to speak tomorrow at the Nokia World conference in Amsterdam. I grabbed him today for a quick primer.
"We are planning to support something like 5-7 devices when we launch," he says. "Some of them are already being sold today, in fact. So if you have one of those devices, you’ll just have to go to our website, download the application to your phone. It’s like any Series 60 application, and it works."
Nokia isn’t announcing which mobiles will run the new N-Gage app yet, as they’re still being tested. However, seeing as Kaidesoja was demoing it to me on an N93, it’s safe to assume it’s one of them.

Non standard platform and user input = crash and burn. I’m sorry to say it, but that’s how I feel.
