Forecast: Mobile gaming to exceed $20B by 2010

The worldwide mobile gaming market will cross the $20 billion threshold by 2010, representing a compound annual growth rate of 58 percent over the decade, says market research firm Global Industry Analysts in a new report.
GIA credits the growth of disposable income in developing nations as a significant catalyst behind the spike in mobile game interest. According to GIA, downloadable games are more popular than subscription-based models, and represents the fastest-growing segment, with an anticipated $10.7 billion in revenue by 2009.
