Former Vodafone and EA Mobile exec Tim Harrison kicked off the Mobile Games Forum conference in London this morning, saying that 2010 represents a "new dawn" for the mobile gaming industry.
"A couple of years ago this conference was close to being dead in the water, maybe because the industry was in such a poor state itself," he said.
He talked about the raft of "new blood and new energy" coming into the mobile games industry as a result of iPhone and its App Store.
However, he warned that there may still be tough times ahead, as games developers figure out how to best make money from the many app stores that are emerging.
ME will be reporting from MGF throughout today and tomorrow, so stay tuned for our updates.
