Two interesting gaming announcements from this past week

Here were a couple of interesting gaming announcements made this week at GDC:

• Zeebo game console announced: A startup backed by Qualcomm announced the launch of a $199 game console for developing markets. The Zeebo will download games over 3G networks. This could be an opportunity for mobile operators to get into the hardware game and make money on services.
• OnLive launched: The OnLive Game Service and OnLive MicroConsole™ were announced at the Game Developers Conference. It is addressing high-performance games without the console, so it’s more of a virtual gaming experience. I wonder if it might be a white-labeled solution for service providers.
