-Electronic Arts, Capcom, THQ, Gameloft, Glu, and Namco Networks will be the first developers to release a limited number of games on the system.
- The target market for the device will be Russia, Brazil, India and China, the so-called "Next Billion" markets. Or as they're better known dirty poor countries.
