Buongiorno has announced that they are successful in a bid to provide the outsourcing of 3UK’s Java Games Platform (the same win for 3 Ireland too actually!). Buongiorno merged with iTouch last year, and this will be the first implementation by the Group in the UK and Ireland.
The platform (with a portal front-end) wil aggregate all the top content providers’ titles – with an aim to become the leading mobile games shop. Promos will be via a “Games Club”, and through plenty of attractive bundles for customers. Apparently Buongiorno won due to the strength of their offering, and also their extensive Java Games expertise.
Well personally I’m quite chuffed about this – I like both 3 and Buongiorno, having worked with them (and also iTouch previously) – and I think the sum of the offering will be even greater than it’s (already good) parts! Get ready for a great games portal, 3UK/Ireland customers!!

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.
