As early as July, Apple will become a very serious competitor for Nokia in the field of gambling on mobile.

The Finnish company has relaunched its concept N-Gage after very serious setback for his first attempt, based on a new portal, a direct download of games and compatibility with almost all its smartphones.

But for the moment the new platform N-Gage is quite limited and does not raise the crowds. For two games have tried some time ago on an N95 8GB and after consultation with videos of other games, I am far from enthusiastic. It is with much more sophisticated games that java games with graphics summary and a depth of Thursday more than limited.

I logged onto the site N-Gage today and I could not noticed that the small number of securities and their limited interest as well as quality graphics. You can make your own judgement by watching the videos and catch some previously published on the blog.

And now we have Apple’s happening with the heavy artillery:
* A terminal capabilities extraordinary: demos of the games Super Monkey Ball or RPG in 3G presented during the keynote Apple are well above what is now proposing platform N-Gage without counting the smaller comfortable that of the screen.
* A 3G iPhone more accessible with a sale price revised downwards.
* A near-global availability, with 78 countries by the end of the year, the iPhone will be widely distribute to the four corners of the planet.
* AppStore will buy, download and install easily games thanks to the know-how Apple iTunes
* Integrated DRM to protect the dissemination of applications for publishers

There are still questions concerning:
* The price of games but the N-Gage games are not given
* The lack of mechanical joystick will not she be a hindrance for certain types of gambling
* Autonomy of the terminal will be t enough?

But in my view, the offer Apple is now far more credible than what we Nokia proposes that communicates on its new platform N-Gage for many months without really convince me at this time.
