Motorola,announced at the 4th Annual China Digital Entertainment Expo & Conference (ChinaJoy 2006) today the official opening of MOTOGames, a virtual hypermart for China's mobile phone users to discover, download, share and enjoy games, read gaming information and make use of a range of community services.

"Several hundred Java and BREW games are released every month to China's 370+ million subscriber mobile population, but finding them and making your selection can be a daunting task for any mobile gamer," said Ian Chapman-Banks, Motorola vice president and general manager for marketing, North Asia, Mobile Devices. "MOTOGames, on a single, easy to use website, offers users fast access to a wide selection of top quality mobile games, an interactive gamer community, and updated and complete gaming information."

MOTOGames offers exclusive gaming content and trial versions of games for download via WAP or your PC. Accessible via the Internet, or WAP (wap.motogames.com.cn), MOTOGames features up-to-date gaming news and information, a full search function, games briefings, a strong BBS community, and instant access to a vast catalogue of games.

MOTOGames is supported by the Motorola E680g, announced at ChinaJoy 2006. The E680g bundles a complete set of game-focused features into one palmsize package, including 3D graphics and sound, portable and downloadable J2ME games, 8-way navigation and gaming keys, simultaneous key press, full landscape view, multi-channel audio supports for MIDI background music and vibration effects, bringing you the first truly immersive gaming experience on a handset.

Gamers will feel right at home with the E680g's key features: a brilliant 240 x 320 color screen, 3D stereo speakers, a large internal memory as well as room for removable SD memory cards. In addition, Motorola has included all the features that have made our handsets, such as an integrated MP3 player, and integrated VGA camera with 8X zoom, as well as MPEG4 video capture and playback.

Through close relationships with Shanda, and Monternet, Motorola offers truly seamless mobile gaming. Access to the latest gaming content has never been simpler. With one simple click of a pre-installed WAP bookmark on the E680g, you are transported directly to MIDC. Here, you can search for game introductions, read reviews, and of course download demos or purchase full versions of a huge number of popular mobile games, all via your E680g.

"As the only mobile handset manufacturer to attend ChinaJoy 2006, Motorola is in a unique position to reflect our understanding of the need for a complete mobile gaming ecosystem, and to set out clearly and simply how we have achieved precisely that goal," Chapman-Banks concluded. "We are confident that when a powerful gaming handset like the E680g is combined with MOTOGames, Motorola becomes not only the consumers’ choice of mobile handset, but also the provider of the best, and most comprehensive user experience."
