Nokia (NOK) announced at the Game Developers Conference China that Sina.com (SINA) has launched five connected mobile games powered by Nokia's SNAP Mobile.

    Consumers in China can try out the new games, including 3D Pool Hall, Jellypop, Sudoku, and upgraded versions of Link Up and Stone Park via Sina's mobile portal. As part of the launch, consumers can download the games and play them twice offline for free. To continue playing and access multiplayer features, consumers can buy a subscription for RMB1 for 24 hours of unlimited play, either online or offline.

    "Working with Sina has really put the games powered by SNAP Mobile to the test. 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. We're looking forward to developing even more games for Sina customers to play."
