The platform provides a basis to develop games that are usable by the vast majority of mobile devices in China", said Terry Tian, Network Business Dept Director, SINA. "We have already successfully deployed several innovative connected casual games for new users to try today. This is just the start."

With over 500 million daily page views on SINA’s site, the traffic is monumental," said Antoine Doumenc, head of SNAP Mobile. "It’s a very significant milestone to see that the most recognized Internet brand in China has successfully deployed a connected mobile games offering using SNAP Mobile.
