These are not good times for Glu Soft. Recently the mobile gaming company has lost Hasbro account to EA Mobile, and now we have SEGA switching to Gameloft.
Under the deal, Gameloft will be entitled to develop, publish and distribute some SEGA mobile games. Glu has a multi-title deal with SEGA in place and at this stage, we’re not sure what will come out from that.
We do, however, know that the first game Gameloft will publish on behalf of SEGA is Sonic Unleashed, which will be released next month.
Commenting on scoring the SEGA account, Gameloft’s Michel Guillemot said: “We are confident this agreement will be the first step towards a long term partnership between Gameloft and SEGA. SEGA’s great brands coupled with Gameloft’s long standing history of excellence in mobile game development can only result in an extraordinary mobile experience for consumers.”

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
