Roughly ten days ago, we posted about the WAP multiplayer mobile game Space Wars, and now we have something even more interesting. No, it’s not another WAP game, but it’s somehow related — both games rely on the Internet connection and both of them support multiple players.
Anyway, I’m talking about Afterworld the “photo-realistic, post-apocalyptic animated series” game which has been screened exclusively on MySpace. And now — you’re guessing correctly — one of the financiers of the series Sony Pictures International is preparing to launch the mobile game somewhere next year.
The interesting thing is that this is the first time the Web 2.0 game is going mobile. Yeah, we saw Flash-based games going the same route, but Afterworld original is basically powered by nothing more than a bunch of JavaScript and CSS files. We’ll see how this ends up…

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
