Straight from the Future Watch blog:

Ngage_1
During next month’s Game Developer’s Conference, we’ll be recording a podcast with some of the top people involved in delivering the next generation of the N-Gage experience.

Currently slated to appear in this broadcast are:

  • Jaakko Kaidesoja — the head of Nokia’s next generation mobile gaming efforts
  • Gregg Sauter — the head of N-Gage’s third party publishing program
  • Mark Ollila — director of Technology and Strategy and head of Nokia Games Publishing

As a special treat for our Future Watch readers, we’re giving you a
chance to submit questions that we can ask during the podcast.

So if you have a question, please leave it in the form of a comment
attached to this post. And while we can’t promise to answer every
question, we’ll do our best to consolidate and cover as many questions
as possible during the show.

Thanks for your questions and stay tuned to Future Watch for your next generation N-Gage news.

You heard the man, submit your questions on the Future Watch blog!

Here is what I want to know:

  • Will N-Gage work on non Nokia phones running S60?
  • Will N-Gage work on UIQ?
  • Are there any games planned that take advantage of the GPS functionality of future Nokia devices?
  • Will there be a "gamer tag" similar to the XBOX Live platform?
  • Will the games sold be tied to the phone you’re using or to an N-Gage account a user would create?
  • Can you buy N-Gage games on your mobile phone?
  • How are you going to stop (plan to stop) piracy?
  • If there are multiplayer games, will be there be a buddy list type system? Can I send messages to my buddies?
  • What current devices out on the market now support N-Gage?
  • Do you plan on selling anything other than games on the N-Gage platform?
  • Will there be free games that are ad supported?
  • Price range of games?
  • Can I get a review unit? (Just kidding)
