er, like how long? 12 months? I certainly feel EU is catching up to
japan, and you can't buy a new phone in japan that doesnt have an Hi
software 3D engine (or Brew). Soon, many phones will have hardware 3D
accelerators. At namco we have had a LOT of success with RidgeRacer and
other 3D games posting record download numbers.
Overseas, look at the Arm/Omap roadmap, the signs are there.
