It's a no-brainerMobile gaming/application development has a
robust future in India.

Handsets lag behind users’ desire for data capabilities; 94% of mobile handsets in India operate on either GSM or CDMA One standards, both
with minimal data capabilities.
With the roll out of new handsets and networks, the gaming market could expand 700% by 2010, to more than US$200m annually.

network, the overall sales for mobile games/ apps will increase.

What are the limitations of mobile game application development?
There are more resource constraints as compared to a desktop environment.
Games need to be simple to learn and 'interruptible', as gamers need to multi-task.
The developer must consider such contingencies as the user's personal safety and security, and the circumstances in which the game may be played (on foot, in a vehicle, etc.).
