According to The Inquirer, it’s quite possible that Apple Corps (that’s the Beatles’ record company, not the Steve Jobs Computer company) will be creating a video game based on the Beatles music catalogue. The Inquirer also believes that because of this, we could get Mobile versions too!
The FT is quoted as saying that the two most likely candidates are MTV Games and Activision. The theory goes that as Hands-On Mobile worked with Activision on the hugely-popular “Guitar Hero 3 Mobile edition”, then they could be in the frame here too. Of course this is largely conjecture, but with a good degree of logic behind it I think.
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.
