Breakpoint Ltd. releases Michael Mepham's Sudoku for mobiles.
Mobile MM Sudoku is exclusively distributed by Tribune Media Services through off-deck mobile content service by AcrNum.
Warsaw, July 19,2006 - Breakpoint Ltd. announced today the launch of its mobile hit logic puzzle Sudoku under Michael Mepham's license. The game will be distributed by Tribune Media Services, Inc. (TMS) in the United States and abroad.
TMS Mobile is a project by U.S.-based TMS and Canadian based AcrNum, Inc. to develop off-deck mobile content services for consumers and businesses.
"We believe that our first off-deck product is the best mobile Sudoku available and an excellent indicator of the quality of mobile content we plan to feature as we expand," said Stephen Tippie, TMS vice president, marketing and licensing.
Currently Breakpoint is working on Michael Mepham's Kakuro, another popular logic puzzle based on numbers, which will join Sudoku later this summer. There are also other titles to be introduced shortly thereafter to TMS Mobile and AcrNum customers.
"Michael Mepham is a name that stands for the best in intellectual fun. We are happy to join forces and make it as mobile as never before." said Ludwik Zoltowski, head of sales and business development at Breakpoint. "Our high quality mobile content combined with the unique content distribution system developed by Tribune Media Services and AcrNum will quickly gain the appreciation of mobile phone users worldwide."
The direct-to-consumer service is one of the first to offer direct access to mobile content by using a numeric domain name, 783658.com, which dramatically shortens the process of keying in a mobile web address.
Consumers can download Sudoku Game Packs of 10 puzzles each for $4.99 directly from the Sudoku mobile website by entering 783658.com into their mobile phone's WAP service web browser and following the directions. These numbers correspond to the word "SUDOKU" on the mobile phone�s keypad.
