We would like to thank all those who have registered with the panel. We are very pleased with the quality and enthusiasm of the panel members. As at January 30th 2009 the panel was made up as follows:

• Over 125 Executives from 120 organisations, in 36 countries including some of the industry's big hitters
• More than 78% are CEOs, Presidents, MDs, CTOs, COOs, Directors, VPs, EVPs and General Managers
• Senior personnel from Aspiro, Arvato Mobile, CipSoft, EA Mobile, Fishlabs, Glu, Handy-Games, Jamba, Nokia, Pulse Interactive,Real Networks, Selatra, THQ Wireless, The Mighty Troglodytes etc amongst many others

We went live with the panel in January and have had a very good response, but nevertheless continue to recruit senior executives to the panel. Statistically speaking, the bigger the panel, the more reliable the results. We will naturally provide you with another update shortly.

Which companies/organisations have already joined the Experts Panel?

What important issues have the Panel Members raised?

Because we wanted to show that our panel represents the industry's big hitters we have asked every member to give us permission to mention their company name and country in publicity (BUT not names of individuals)

If you would like to see those companies who signed up to the panel and have given us permission to show their names please go to http://www.multimedia-research.com/Experts_panel.html

As you know we have invited all members to suggest issues for possible consideration in panel surveys.

• We have been delighted with the response as over two thirds of members have done so, with the majority suggesting 2-3 issues.

• So far over 220 questions / subjects have been submitted, reflecting the diverse range of issues currently impacting the global mobile games space.

We have summarised this early feedback from Panel Members in an article which can be found at: http://www.multimedia-research.com/Experts_panel._issues.html

How is the first Online Survey progressing?

We are currently in the process of carrying out the first survey and the closing date will be February 20th. We already have some preliminary results which are both fascinating and useful. The final results will be supplied to members towards the end of February/beginning of March.
