Six months after launching its wireless controller for mobile devices, Zeemote Inc. has signed on its first two handset partners, Nokia Corp. and Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications AB, for exclusive distribution deals in Germany and the Netherlands, respectively.
The agreements give Zeemote a beachhead with two of the world’s largest handset makers, but there is more to come, according to officials. Over the next 60 days, the company will be announcing additional partnerships in a rush to get the JS1 mobile gaming controller into as many outlets as possible before the Christmas rush, according to vice president of sales and business development Jim Adams.
In the Sony Ericsson deal, the Zeemote will be paired with the company’s new 3G handset, the W760i. The Nokia deal has the controller available through Nokia’s online and in-store outlets in Germany as part of “gaming bundles” and phones running its S60 platform.
