Working in the IT market I often here phases like Convergance and Mulitmedia tagged onto the latest bit of kit, be it a phone, PDA or mouse (?!)...
The latest gadget to get a makeover is the phone with MP3/Radio and soon Camera/Video built in.. But one thing is still in the early stages that looks like it could change the way people play games, and thats a good game on the mobile phone... Yes we all have the Snake and Breakout clones but what about the new games that you could start to see, most people would be surprised to know just how powerful there humble little phone really is!.. Some of the new models actually run Java based engines and have some very clever software giving the phone companies the ability (although not used as yet) to gain information on your rough whereabouts, black helicopters come to mind (lol).
Anyway to the point.. With people changing mobile phones every 5 minutes because the new Nokia 9292983627282with Wapping paper looks cool.. Would you be happy with one for a couple of years if it offered the ability to play games, like say a GBC?
So who out there would rush out and buy a Nokia with GBC emu onboard (colour screen of course).. Just think of the battery life too!!

In my opinion phones are already over specified ie mine has radio and WAP and I don't use either I bought it because it was in a sale.
And also adding games on them would just more expensive, but if you think about it the screen sizes are so small then you could'nt really see the game very well but if you make the phones bigger then no one wants to buy them.
