New Mobile Games Platforms: Challenges and opportunities

by Nanuy ~ December 8th, 2009

New Mobile Games Platforms: Challenges and opportunities   In this Industry Report By 2008 the global mobile games market had stagnated. Growth in the operator distributed mobile games market, which peaked at over 50 per cent in 2004 and 2005, had fallen to 10 per cent, and is expected to drop to just 7 per cent in 2009. Device fragmentation, and the top publishers’ dominance over operators’ portals, had created an ecosystem in which it was difficult for all but the biggest players to generate significant income. In July 2008 Apple launched its App Store, for which games quickly proved popular. With over 1bn applications downloaded in the first 10 months and 70 per cent of revenues going to publishers/ developers, the iPhone platform and the App Store business model and retail channel have proved that there is a significant market for mobile games outside of operators’ portals. ( http://www.bharatbook.com/Market-Research-Reports/New-Mobile-Games-Platforms-Challenges-and-opportunities.html )  As this business model challenges the relationship between operators and publishers, and smartphones, that can provide advanced gaming capabilities, grow in popularity, more players will try to emulate Apple’s success. Two platforms that have the potential to boost the mobile games market outside operators’ portals are Nokia’s N-Gage, and Google’s Android. Though neither of these has yet got the necessary combination of ingredients to be a true rival to the iPhone/App Store combination in the mobile games market. Despite the growth of new platforms, it is the Java games market that will continue to provide the biggest revenues. As more small publishers, that have been unable to achieve significant revenues with network operators, leave this space, the top publishers will be presented with the chance to increase their dominance of this market.  This report includes :  * Historical analysis of the operator distributed mobile games market  * Assessment of the iPhone’s and App Store’s strengths and weaknesses  * Analysis of the potential challengers to the iPhone: N-Gage and Android  * Discussion of operators’, platform providers’ and device manufacturers’ plans to respond to the App Store’s success  * Analysis of the impact of new platforms on the top three publishers and how they respond  * Country profiles of the major Western markets.   Key Findings :  * Apple’s App Store is already having a significant impact on the mobile games market. Games for the iPhone generated globally over $100m revenues in H2 2008 and it took 10% of the North American mobile games market.  * As device manufacturers, operators and platform providers launch their own stores, seeking to emulate the success of the App Store, Screen Digest expects more mobile games publishers to abandon or reduce development of Java games for operators’ portals.  * Despite growth in revenues in 2008, the impact of new platforms meant that the top three mobile games publishers failed to increase their market share.  * While many players will try to mimic the success of Apple’s App Store, as yet, none has the necessary ingredients to match Apple. Platform specific and on-device application stores have the greatest chance of success in the mobile games market.  * Although the application store business model and high-end platforms are attractive to publishers (better share of revenues, more receptive audience, control over pricing and ability to innovate), the operator distributed Java games market will, in the short-to-medium term, remain the largest market.  * Of the top three publishers, Gameloft has best positioned itself to take advantage of the boost new platforms have given the market, though EA Mobile, with its catalogue of popular licensed and parent company games, has the necessary titles to match this success.Bharat Book Bureau Tel: +91 22 27578668 Fax: +91 22 27579131 Email: info@bharatbook.com  Website: www.bharatbook.com  Blog: http://bharatbookresearch.blogspot.com

The Mac As a Java Development and Execution Platform

by Nanuy ~ December 8th, 2009

Nobody can deny that Apple manufactures very handsome machines but there are endless debates about whether they perform better than equivalent machines running Linux or Windows.

Mac used to be very behind and took more than a year to come up with a JDK. I was hearing my friends complain that Eclipse and IDEA were running very poorly.

Java applications on Mac OS X can be supplemented with a number of exclusive runtime properties to enhance their user experience. These properties can be specified via command-line, or, in the case of a packaged ‘.app’ Java application, they are typically specified in one of two files: MRJApp.properties, and Info. List.

Mac and Linux have real shells (a pleasure to use), Windows is a bit behind there, but the DOS console has become good enough with XP that I didn’t mind it too much.

Mac has finally become a credible Java platform, but it took its sweet time (and I can’t help but laugh when I remember Steve Jobs saying he wanted Mac OS to become the best Java platform five years ago…).

Apple offers the Mac OS Runtime for Java (MRJ) 2.2, which is compatible with the 1.1.8 release of Sun’s JDK. A PowerPC Mac with Mac OS 8.1 or later and at least 40 MB of RAM is required to use this version of MRJ. A Just-In-Time compiler from Symantec is part of the distribution as well.

The goal of this article is to show that, considering equivalent metrics and similar system configurations, different systems can perform better than others due to a variety of factors. Garbage collection, a common cause of tuning headaches, was not optimized for these tests and might yield different results for the Java boxed objects sort. Windows XP wasn’t optimized for thread performance. These tests were aimed at processor and memory performance, discarding other factors. Choosing a given configuration is an exercise in testing and choosing the appropriate metrics, not one of choosing the best brand, fastest processor, or the coolest machine.

Mac OS X provides the standard JDK command line tools for developers. Therefore, when launching an unpackaged Java application from the command line, the two required properties listed above in Table 1 should not be used, in favor of the standard command-line specification of the class path and main class.
