Activision Games Coming to Mobile Phones

"Wireless video game company Jamdat Mobile has entered into a publishing arrangement with industry heavyweight Activision. The deal covers 'extreme sport' titles from Activision's action sports brand. Among the games included under the license are 'Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4,' 'Kelly Slater's Pro Surfer,' and 'Shawn Murray's Pro Wakeboarding.' Jamdat, whose chief is a former Activision exec, is backed by Qualcomm, Sun Microsystems and Intel. It publishes games for phones running both Qualcomm's Binary Runtime Environment for Wireless and Sun's Java 2 Mobile Edition. Earlier this year, the company signed deals with Electronic Arts and THQ." [PDABuzz.com]
