Now German mobile gamers are to get the Zeemote JS1
Deal is with Nokia this time
Momentum is certainly picking up behind the Zeemote JS1 Bluetooth joystick.
Having launched in the Netherlands last week via a deal with Sony Ericsson, now maker Zeemote has teamed up with Nokia in Germany.
Nokia will be advertising the JS1 in its online and offline media channels, while also bundling it with selected mobile phones. Whether the former aspect means Germans will be able to buy the JS1 standalone is unclear.
However, there's an intriguing aspect to the deal. Zeemote says the JS1 will be on show next week at the Games Convention show in Leipzig on Nokia's N-Gage Bus, and also in mobile N-Gage Gaming Lounges.
Now, N-Gage isn't mentioned specifically in the deal announcement, but it'll be interesting to see whether Nokia plans to integrate the controller into its N-Gage platform.
