Macrospace Ltd. was a British developer of mobile content headquartered in London, which mainly focused on Java ME-content. In June 2005, Macrospace merged with Sorrent Inc., to form Glu Mobile.[1] Macrospace provided mobile games and mobile gaming products for network operators, service providers, handset manufacturers, media companies and intellectual property owners.[2]

Overview

The company developed a technology for Java web emulation. It was intended to emulate the full Java capabilities of many of the most popular mobile handsets, including rendering fonts and on-screen instructions.[3]

Macrospace also offered online high score and in-game event billing services. Using the company's services, Cannons Tournament became the first commercially available multiplayer mobile game in Europe, allowing mobile gamers to play peer-to-peer games regardless of network or location.^[citation needed]
