HandyGames™ presents his football prediction application, WAP LigaTipper, with a innovative community feature at Vodafone Live Germany

Giebelstadt (Germany), 28.08.2006 - HandyGames, one of the leading independent developers of mobile games and pioneer in the field of mobile internet comes up with a new WAP game concept. The WAP LigaTipper, a tool to predict the results of the German premier league Bundesliga, is now available at Vodafone Live and has an innovative community feature.

The WAP application which is initially used to predict the results of the German Bundesliga offers customers the possibility to compete with other German football "experts". Furthermore, each user may found and manage a group with up to 11 members. After each match the rankings are published on the mobile internet site of Vodafone Live.

Unlike other applications where the user only predicts the results, it is possible to enter a group and communicate with other members. "We are convinced that with this feature predicting sports results becomes some sort of social gaming. Our concept makes use of all advantages of the mobile internet," comments Markus Kassulke, CEO of HandyGames.

HandyGames is already in talks with other international operators. Plans are to use this concept for other international football leagues or other sport leagues like Basketball, American Football or Baseball.

German football fans can now register at the Vodafone Live portal for the LigaTipper.
