The International Mobile Game Awards ant the GSM Association have

We’re also excited at the prospect of working on future projects and events that will help drive innovation in this very fast moving sector.”
The GSMA’s Global Mobile Awards will take place on Tuesday 12th February and the IMGA Awards will take place on Monday 11th February at the Mobile World Congress 2008 in Barcelona.
