EA Mobile acquires rights to

EA Mobile have just acquired the rights to the popular moneyed-quiz game “Deal or No Deal”. They snapped up the rights from Endemol, who we all know as the creator of Big Brother. Interestingly, Gameloft had previously owned the Mobile rights, where the game had become a top-seller. So this is a major coup for the EA execs involved!

I am not sure whether the entire reader-base will be familiar with the concept of Deal or No Deal, but it is somewhat entertaining on the Tellybox – if you’d like to know more about the show, you can go here.

By the way, “Deal or No Deal” (the mobile game) will be out in November.

About The Author

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.
