Each new generation of phones on the market brings significant capabilities in the realm of applications, and millions of subscribers worldwide have devices that allow for sophisticated user interaction and application integration, primarily via the Java 2 Micro Edition platform. Device owners have pent-up demand for quality games and applications that can be conveniently discovered and purchased. Developers and game publishers have begun to invest in building J2ME software and are searching for a way to get their products to the consumer. Wireless carriers have invested heavily in GPRS and CDMA 2000 technologies that they hope will drive higher data bandwidth usage for data applications to counteract the commoditization of voice services on their networks.

The U.S. mobile phone subscriber base currently includes more than 135 million customers and continues to grow at a healthy pace each year. As new handsets and devices come on the market, more and more consumers have access to handheld platforms such as Java 2 Micro Edition (J2ME) that allow for over-the-air provisioning of a rich variety of games and applications far superior to previous WAP-based technology and comprising an industry standard environment. From an enabled base of 15% in 2003, the J2ME market is slated to double each of the next two years, rising to 60% in 2005. Young adults - the same group that is most interested in mobile games and applications - will be driving the bulk of these handset sales.
