A little over a week ago, we posted the first part of our audio project “Virtual Round Table”.

And today we offer a text version of this issue.

Hot news: The company Rovio used the Twitter service to announce that their new game has collected in some three days the number of downloads that most mobile app developers dream of.

A representative of the Finnish company Rovio last Friday said that the company is not going to publish Angry Birds Space on Windows Phone 7.

PlayPhone has introduced a new cross-platform API that allows iOS and Android users to play realtime projects with each other.

We invite you again to our virtual round table, where experts of the mobile application market discuss topical issues.
