RealNetworks Mobile Gaming and Mobile Music Strategy

It is still early for the company, as CEO Rob Glaser said in the Q4 conference call yesterday (transcript from Internet Stock Blog)…the company has integrated its acquisition of mobile gaming firm Mr Goodliving, and will try and merge the online and mobile gaming sides, in the casual games market. “We are going two different ways in that. One is by taking some of the titles that Mr. Goodliving develops in Europe and bringing them over to mobile carriers in the US. And the second, by taking the casual games that we have been already been in the process of developing and publishing in the US and bringing them to Europe.”
On the mobile music side, Glaser said Apple phone was a dud. “Generally speaking through Flash and removable Flash and you have form factors in mobile phones that are good products, there is definitely cross over there. That Apple rokr thing was a total dud and certainly that’s not the state of art and what’s being promoted to market right now aren’t really state of the art products from some of the other carries. But we think there is a great opportunity to deliver something that is very concurrent to integrate the pieces together.”
