Mika

Interesting that you mentioned Riot. I represent Riot in Asia. As you
rightly mentioned, Intelligame and Riot have merged together and is now
known as Riot Entertainment. http://www.riot-e.com.
We are looking at setting up an asian operation very soon and expand in key
markets. Currently, very interested in  the Japanese market. We are looking
at content partners in that market as well as ways to work with the telcos
in distributing our content.
Our current partners include Nokia, Softbank Europe and Newscorp.

Appreciate any insights or information on the Japanese market.

	There are also allready a couple mobile game companies
	established in Finland. The first one was SpringToys Inc
	which was established by the keypersons of Housemarque
	(a company which makes PC Games). I know they also have
	some great Java talents inhouse so I would be thrilled
	to see something come out from them for future Java
	enabled keitai (if they're into Japanese market or not,
	I don't know).

		http://www.springtoys.com/

	Then there are also a bit less known companies as Intelligame
	and Riotgames (which I think are now working as one company).
	According to my knowledge the latter two are mostly working on
	wap games at the moment.

		http://www.riotgames.com/

	I am personally really looking forward to see the first wireless
	games developed for the Java i-mode phones. I see so much more
	possibilities on those phones than the ratherr dull wap handsets.

	Are 503i's still scheduled to come out during this year?
