Digital Chocolate Signs Pre-Load Deal With LG

Digital Chocolate has scored a deal to pre-load its games onto mobile phones made by LG Electronics. Games from Digital Chocolate will be preloaded onto multiple LG phones to launch this month, and more pre-loads will follow, along with co-marketing efforts. The two companies say more details will come later, so it’s unclear whether this is a few games in the games menu or a branded portal, or whether it will include the DChoc Cafe Series. LG has about a 6.2 percent of the global handset market, and shipped 15.8 million handsets in the first quarter of this year, which made it the fifth largest handset manufacturer. (release)
