Mobile game company [i]I-play[/i] announced today the successful acquisition of British based mobile video game specialist and developer, [i]Ditto Studios[/i]. With the two companies working together, [i]I-play[/i] promises to deliver its products to market faster, and reach more handsets available on the market.

?We are already reaching over 95% of the handsets on the market with our releases, making it appear to consumers that the mobile industry is a single platform. However, the increasingly fragmented mobile platform is one of the key challenges that the industry faces today and [i]Ditto?s[/i] technology and support will help us improve and accelerate this process,? said Brian Greasley, CEO of [i]I-play[/i].

We will get a taste of the two companies working together in July, releasing its first 3D inter-galactic third person shooter, [b]Major Carnage[/b].
