>> GW Series : SALE OVER

It has to happen - even to the best; the "sale" is over :)

The gw-series, after months of being marked down on sale are now 
reverted back to their original prices; the best value is the bundle 
at $4.99 - $0.83 per game (total savings - 60%)! 

>> Chain Rxn : FREE GAME

Mobile 1UP has been looking for a good version of "Chain Rxn" game; 
if you are familiar with facebook - it was a top 10 game recently in
the news. A number of variants have been written for the iPhone, 
however, none match the game exactly how we wanted it - so, we made 
a 1:1 copy and it is available for your consumption for free!

The object of the game is to remove as many balls from the screen as 
possible by 'exploding' them; in a chain reaction. It is very addictive
and you have no reason not to download and install this game!

>> Mobile 1UP : DONATION BOX

We have setup a "paypal" account to receive donations!

Mobile 1UP is hard at work developing both FREE and COMMERICIAL titles 
for the iPhone and iPod Touch - and we want to deliver the best quality 
software at the lowest price possible. 

If you want to contribute to the development effort or send through 
a quick donation there is now a button to do so on the home page - 
near the mailing list sign up box. Any proceeds will be of course 
appreciated and contributed to releasing more free games.

>> SOFTWARE PIRACY

Software piracy is a big topic; how many users are actually 
paying for games and how many are illegally downloading them.
Mobile 1UP's - as part of the high score submission process 
has added the ability to track if the game is legit or pirated.

Mobile 1UP does not condone piracy.

Software Piracy
- 38% (previous 37%) Legit Users
- 62% (previous 63%) Pirate Users

The numbers have gotten better - but, 2 in 3 users are using
the games illegally; which is surprising since it is a $0.99
application most of the time :)

It is important to keep in mind that without supporting the 
developers - applications will not exist for the platform! 
If you know someone using pirate software, remind them it takes 
effort and time to write software and they should pay for it.

>> FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS / TWITTER

What are we working on?

Bookmark our development blog and sign up for our twitter feed
- it is not possible to work on stuff every day; but, we do post
a number of items when we get a chance. 

>> MARKETING UPDATES

When you submit your high scores to Mobile 1UP - your not
only boasting to your friends (and the rest of the world) how 
good you are - but you are also contributing vital statistics
for us to report back on our users.

It has been shown 66% of our users are iPhone users - and 33% 
are using the iPhone Touch. As an iPod Touch user; is it difficult
to get online connectivity? The market place is viable for both
devices; especially for offline games.

>> CLOSING NOTES

A short, quick, newsletter - we love to hear suggestions on 
how to improve games; or even the "hey, you rock" emails if 
you are a huge fan of what we do.

Thank you for your support!
