Electronic Arts developing games for Android

Google Android - Landscape

The games giant Electronic Arts(EA) has announced the games being developed for Google’s Android. The “unworn by time” game “Tetris” is the first game to be published for the open source operating system. Today, Monopoly too become available for purchase for Google G1, the first phone to be using Android.

EA vice president Adam Susmann commented that Android would be an exciting game platform with its touch-operated and motion sensing capabilities for users.

You can take a look at the games on www.eamobile.com. Also we might see a lot of games on this page in the near future.

This anticipated move of Electronic Arts is very logical, because like it was with iPhone, Android is not a operating system written for only one phone. Android can be customized by the phone manufacturers and as long as the core stays the same, the applications that are installed do not need to be rewritten for every phone that uses Android. Because of that, as phones that use Android OS become more popular in next years, the targeted audience for the written application will become larger. That will help easen the job of the manufacturers.
