“Our son Chris has a ton of experience working on cell phones, and is fairly negative. He doesn’t think there is a market and thinks we would be wasting our time.”
I think this has been the case since the dawn of cell phone games, but I am holding out hope. Perhaps platforms like the iPhone and Android will change things. Surely there are sites out there with sales figures and such for cell phone based games and entertainment? I remember my old way of doing market research was to visit handango.com to see which apps were selling best. 🙂
