With the launch of mobile gaming devices like N-Gage, what is the industry status?

The MGAIN Consortium, funded by the European Commission has released a new report on mobile entertainment in Europe. The free download, 170-page report “Mobile Entertainment Business” provides understanding and fresh analysis of the European mobile entertainment industry and market.

Interesting to note:

By the end of 2003, some 10 million European mobile subscribers will own a Mobile Entertainment enabled device. This equals a penetration level of 2-3%.

Despite the existence of a large number of GPRS enabled phones and networks, the penetration of mobile data services is approximately only 1% in average in Western Europe.

The MGAIN website also list other reports in the mobile industry.
