Hands-on Mobile delivers full-service Mobile games platform

Hands-On Mobile (known for Mobile games like Guitar Hero and World Poker Tour) has announced the release of a development and distribution platform that it says will allow developers to run games on all networks, O/S variants, and devices…

Java was the original big solution to all of these problems, but it didn’t solve much in the end – some games have tens or even hundreds of variants, just to run a single title across most device types.

Hands-On Mobile believes it offers game and mobile application developers a better solution with its new Hands-On Mobile Developer Network, or HDN, by providing them with the same platform it used to build its popular mobile games. On the client, HDN delivers a small piece of run-time code that will run HDN-developed games and apps on a wide variety of devices. Also required is HDN-specific server-side XML code that lets the network talk to the device and exchange data…

I have to say I have seen solutions like this before – and none has worked yet. Now that doesn’t mean that Hands-On won’t crack it – in fact I’d love to see them do it – but what it will depend on is buy-ing from developers, device vendors, and Operators – and from practical experience I can tell you that is no mean feat!
