Yay, a small sliver of good news in what is largely financial losses and job losses at the moment… EA Mobile have managed to increase revenue by 23% in it’s Q3 which ended Dec 31 2008, resulting in a figure of $48m. Apparently Mobile accounted for 7% of revenues across all platforms.
Whilst this area of EA, and the group in general, had good revenues, the business as a whole is apparently readying for job cuts after a $641m loss in the same quarter. I guess what we don’t see it the write-downs and other costs that are occurring in the background 
Well I am hoping EA (being one of the brightest lights in gaming on all-platforms) is going to be able to push through, and carrying on delivering some of the excellent stuff I’ve been playing over the last year. Count Mobile games in that too!

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.
