Panel discussion topic: Controlling the industry cost curve: the Future of QA and device support costs

Should we continuously try to support all handsets? Handsets are allowing more advanced applications but developers cannot take advantage of this because of operator restrictions. How do we balance application size restrictions with increased game quality and visuals? Making the industry standards more easy to navigate How can we achieve a more standardised market? Optimising the testing process so it becomes less painful and costly for developers and publishers. Where is the future of mobile gaming going? What are the prospects for Symbian, Java, Brew?

Peter Ahnegård, Partner Manager, Sony Ericsson Developer World
