LG Electronics and Innostream are the first customers for WGE Games, the wireless gaming solution from TTPCom.

This technology brings a console-like gaming experience to the mobile phone and also allows over the air downloads of new games, enabling users to personalise their handsets with the latest and best games.

The Korean based manufacturers are licensing the platform for their latest handsets for Asia and Europe, which should be commercially available later this year.

Tony Milbourn, TTPCom's Managing Director, stated: "Korea has a very well developed games industry and both LG Electronics and Innostream were quick to recognise that the games offered by WGE Games are far more sophisticated than those available on most other handsets".

He added: "Mobile gaming is a growing area that has the potential to significantly increase operator's revenues and WGE Games offers our customers a strong differentiating feature in their handsets".

Gijong Lim, Innostream's CEO, commented: "The dynamic nature of WGE Games resembles those found on PC networks, bringing greater excitement to end users than ordinary mobile phone games in Korea.

With large colour LCD screens, 40 polyphonic tones and with WGE, our mobile terminals are sophisticated entertainment consoles".

WGE Games runs on TTPCom's Wireless Graphics Engine (WGE) and several of the world's leading games developers including ITE, Hailstorm and Tuna Technologies have signed up to develop content for WGE.
