Sony Ericsson Developer World is joining the debate on the future of mobile gaming at the Next Generation and Mobile Games Forum in Los Angeles, USA on May 11, 2006. 

This event is designed to look at the mobile gaming market, how it is being managed and shaped and how it will look in the future. It will be an examination of how changes in technology are changing end-user preferences and what developers need to be producing to keep up.

10:45-11:30: Mobile's Got Game
Peter Ahnegard, Partner Manager Games and Graphics from Sony Ericsson, is participating in this panel discussion.

Mobile games are big business. M:Metrics reports that U.S. carriers now carry an average of 59 titles apiece, and between 5 million and 6 million subscribers are downloading at least one mobile game per month. As carriers roll out 3G phones equipped with 3D graphics, what's next?
