Players who agreed to watch ads beamed to them over cell phone networks would get a discount on the initial purchase price.' This was 2005 and it already sounds very Google Androidish." Too bad that it actually used Windows CE. It sounds like the new one will offer it, too, along with Android. So I guess Windows CE in 2005 could do what Android can do now. I'm not sure that I'd trust the company, though. They make iBiz look like sweethearts.
