SEGA Mobile has announced that their Sonic the Hedgehog Mobile game has passed over 8mn downloads in North America and Europe, since launch in early 2006. The Sonic franchise has apparently now spread to 40 games over 19 video game platforms – of which Mobile is racking up some sales for!
Remember back in the day, when Sonic appeared on the Megadrive for the first time? I bought the game, as did a lot of other people (!), and were amazed by the super-fast graphics and multitude of eye-mashing colours. How things have come on – the same game is now doing the rounds on a lot of Mobile devices!
SEGA Mobile plans to build on the success of the Sonic brand with the introduction of three new titles this year, including Sonic at the Olympic Games, Sonic Spinball and Sonic the Hedgehog 2.

Ben Robinson
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.
