It's been quite a year for mobile gaming, what with iPhone and the App Store, N-Gage's proper launch, the appearance of Android, and stacks of imaginative, innovative mobile games.
And a fair few dodgy ones too, of course. But it's the good stuff
PocketGamer.biz is interested in for its roundup of the 30 most innovative mobile games of 2008.
It's less about sales numbers or even pure gameplay quality, but instead about the games which had innovative features or technology that show the way forward for 2009.

Song Summoner would be at number 1 for me, a turn-based RPG tactics game I can play on an iPod nano, utilising the song titles in my music collection to create warriors to battle in the game!
In the words of Vince Noir... "Imagine that!"
