Back in October we wrote about Hop-on’s plans to release a Google Android-powered handset. Now we have one more piece of information to add to the mix. Apparently, it’s not just the handset Hop-on will introduce at the upcoming CES in Las Vegas — they also want to spice things up with a gambling software. You read that correctly, the famous disposable phone maker will bundle Casino Wagering Software on its Android-powered handset and will introduce it in Europe and elsewhere where online gambling is legal.
The company’s President and CEO, Peter Michaels, said: “We will be bringing Mobile Gaming to Europe where Gaming is legal, secure and regulated. New 3G wireless technologies and phones will play a big role in the growth of mobile gaming by making it more convenient and secure. These new networks and phones will allow real-time, exciting and player-to-player betting to be possible.”
It’s kinda funny when you think about it. Nokia has “Comes With Music” initiative, while Hop-on goes for “Comes With Gambling.” 😉
