Colonel Mustard commits murder cellular style

WIRELESS GAMES publisher, iFone, has signed up Brighton's finest - Babel Media - to convert its portfolio of games into a mobile phone format.

iFone has access to classics such as Monopoly and Cluedo which it needs localised into formats for non-English speaking countries such as France, Germany, Italy, Spain and China.

Babel has recently secured deals with Vodafone so that it can act as a testing house for games loaded up onto the Vodafone Live! service.

More sneakily, Babel has recently opened offices in New Delhi, India to take advantage of the sub-continent's emerging status as a major software outsourcing centre.

Babel reckons it has already tested over 200 games for Vodafone to ensure they run properly on its mobile handsets.

Thanks to the iFone deal you'll now be able to discover if Professor Brown really did commit the audacious murder in the kitchen with the candlestick.

If you've never played Cluedo, this'll mean nothing to you, of course. µ

Do you think the move was justified?
