SteamIron: The FallenSingapore-based Mikoishi is not exactly the single most known mobile games developer, but it seems they are preparing to add the new twist to the mobile gaming market. Touted as “the world’s first true online Real Time Strategy (RTS) game for mobile phones,” Mikoishi’s new title – SteamIron: The Fallen – has all the aspects of the moderng RTS title. There are tournaments, guilds, leagues, buddy lists, global rankings and multiplayer matching. In addition, Mikoishi relies on the classic space opera storyline, featuring interstellar spaceships, futuristic communication technologies, and an evil Ternion Empire beset by infighting between its Emperor, his elite Modan guards, and a religious Pax Imperium organisation. Sounds promising – can’t wait to see the first screenshots…

UPDATE: First screenshots are here – after the jump. As you will see, this is the real thing! :)

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.
