Clever thinking – Skobbler turns its hand to gaming with GeoBrain
The idea is to build on Skobbler’s map-based app experience but to enter into new and potentially profitable genres: knowledge-based games certainly do well on the Nintendo DS franchise, for example. And it’s common knowledge that the sat-nav market is both saturated and becoming a commodity. In fact, Skobbler’s own free offering for iPhone based on the do-it-yourself ‘OpenStreetMap’ (OSM) model is a perfect example of this. Never mind Google Maps or Nokia’s own free Ovi Maps voice-guided navigation.
GeoBrain can be downloaded at an introductory promotion price of 0.59p.
