THQ Wireless has announced that it has signed a worldwide agreement with Playboy Enterprises, Inc. to exclusively develop Playboy-branded mobile games. The multi-year Playboy agreement covers the development and publishing rights to multiple Playboy-branded, lifestyle themed, non-nude mobile games featuring “bikini-clad Playmates to be released worldwide.”
The first title, Playboy Games: Pool Party –scheduled to launch in summer 2008 — will include a set of mini-games and will find you competing in such “pool party sports” as water balloon fights, waterslide slaloms and aquatic mechanical bull riding at the famous Playboy Mansion.
Commenting on the announcement, one of the IntoMobile editors Dusan Belic said, “I’m glad to see THQ developing Playboy-branded games though I would like to see them releasing the first title tomorrow. Who can wait for the summer?” He also added, “The ‘non-nude’ idea is kinda strange choice. I’m not sure everyone will like it.”

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.
