iPhone虽然充满着不确定性，但目前已经成为了移动互联网行业的兵家必争之地。

日本最大手机社交网络服务公司之一的GREE今日正式启动了Beta测试版的iPhone平台的手机社交网络服务。这是GREE最新的全平台化发展策略的最新进展，此前GREE的所有服务只能通过传统的日本手机系统使用。

GREE的竞争对手，日本另一家社交网络服务公司DeNA也于早些时候推出了自己的5款iPhone平台游戏，包括该公司最知名作品《侠盗》。

GREE的测试版iPhone服务包含了专为触摸屏手机优化后的GREE核心功能。

最终版的iPhone/Android平台GREE服务将在近期正式推出，功能将涵盖虚拟形象、社交游戏以及全新的用户注册系统，同时GREE还在开发一种专为触摸屏手机设计的应用程序。

一直以来，日本手机社交网络服务要求真实日本身份才能注册使用，这成为了国外用户的一大障碍，但DeNA面向北美推出的iPhone服务则允许国外用户通过OpenFeint平台注册使用，同时DeNA对OpenFeint进行了投资。

OpenFeint被业内称为iPhone平台的Xbox Live服务。

目前尚不知道GREE的iPhone/Android服务具体的运营方式以及对国外用户和游戏开发商的开放情况。

DeNA, which runs one of big three Japanese social networking Mobage-Town, today announced and immediately launched MiniNation and its games, their popular social games and its basement community in English on iPhone/iPad for oversea users.

The games and MiniNation are only available  “outside of Japan”. So it is not for their royal Japanese users but iPhone/iPad users who may have never heard DeNA or Mobage-Town. Apps are not accessible on Japanese iTunes Store.

MiniNation is a social community made of “mini-mail”, bulletin boards, sa-kuru(club), etc. Virtual point currency is planned to be introduced later. Aurora Feint Inc.(California, USA)’s OpenFeint ID is also usable.

“Kaitou Rowaiyaru” is kind of flagship game of Mobage-Town. There is a DeNA’s commercial film dedicated to this game on-aired on television since last winter. I could not find the CM uploaded on the web.

The other three games are an action puzzle, Sudoku and Solitaire. As same as its original Mobage-Town, you will not be charged to join and play. Some of users are supposed to purchase avatar accessories and items.(source:asiajin,05/11)
