      ab: The article discusses the development of mobile gaming. Many cellphone and mobile devices are used to download and play video games, resulting in high revenues. Increases in mobile gaming are due to technological innovations that improve device quality, greater mobile device ownership and broadband transmission offered by wireless communication networks. The cellphone company Nokia has created gaming communities and devices that allow users to link to servers to compete in multiplayer games. Research suggests the market value of mobile gaming may grow larger than that of computer gaming and video game consoles due to lower costs. Mobile video games are being developed to appeal to women.
