MWC: Gameloft gets very touchy about mobile

Gameloft has mined its Nintendo DS skills to make touchscreen mobile games.
The company says it is developing stylus-based games for mobile to ‘transform gameplay into a more intuitive experience and remove the limitation of small keyboards.’
Gameloft already has more than 15 touch screen games in its catalogue including Block Breaker Deluxe, Deal or No Deal and CSI Miami – for the LG Viewty, HTC touch and the Samsung SGH-F700.
Gameloft's touch screen games were initially developed in Java, though some will also be developed on the
Windows Mobile platform.
The creation of touch screen games is part of Gameloft's overall effort to make all of its games accessible to every commercially-available phone model on the market, which today stands at 1,200 different models for 180 carriers throughout 80 countries.
