Jump Games recently announced an exclusive global deal to design, develop and distribute mobile games with arguably the most popular football club in the world, Manchester United Football Club, as well as the announcement of six Manchester United mobile games to be developed during 2008.
The first of the six Manchester United mobile games, called MANCHESTER UNITED Word It! will apparently be available on all top operators globally, priced between three and five Euros (around three squid in English money….
Jump have also acquired the content rights for Fido Dido (the wavy animated chap who is synonymous with 7UP), and released a game based on his adventures (screens below):

Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career
when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has
now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the
next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas!
He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently
became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years
when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to
'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make
your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device)
isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question
of why you continue to use it...
His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and
infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the
occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience
in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with
regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
