A friend visit from Dubai!

Our friend, Gregory, has been visiting us in SF to tell us what's happening in Middle East and Africa regions. We were planning to hit beach together today but gave up due to his cold. Well, let's at least take a pic with our board!

Swell is coming!

Though it is windy, SNAP Mobile Surf Team, decided to hit beach since a huge swell is coming! Hitting a road on highway 280!

Almost there. It's rather windy...

See the rough waves behind him! Well, he is determined and going in. Nice smile before hard paddling...

Flying after work!

OK. After working 12 hours from 6am to 6pm, we need to relax a little bit. Usually we go surfing but recent oil spilt in SF bay closed all the beaches. Well, head of SNAP Mobile came up with this crazy idea "Let's fly tonight!". My first reaction was "What do you mean, fly tonight?". Well, this is how you fly!

Global Field Testing Team

I have met bunch of pros organizing field tests around the globe in Salo, Finland. They were gathering for their semi-annual meeting from Europe, APAC, South America and Middle East. SNAP Mobile will work closely with this team from now on in order to provide the best service to our customers! Well, they have to visit us in SF so that we can go surfing and wine-tasiting together!

SNAP Mobile in Tokyo Game Show!

Hi all! SNAP Mobile blogs has been quiet... Well, it is not because we have been quiet in activities. Actually, SNAP Mobile has been very active in events keeping us too busy to update blogs! Great exposure for SNAP Mobile and N-Gage in the biggest game show in Asia, Tokyo Game Show!

SNAP Mobile Surf Team 3

SNAP Mobile Surf Girls (and one boy) made another surf trip to beach on last Friday evening. The shape of wave was great and all of us had a great time! In SF, October is the best season for the size of waves. We got to come in office much earlier and head out for beach more often!

Friends on the globe 1

SNAP Mobile has many friends around the globe. They help us here and there and we appreciate. Without their support, we cannot provide good quality of service to end-users around the globe. We would like to start introducing our friends.

Yes. First in first, I will introduce our buddy from Mumbai, India. Though his work is not directly related to SNAP Mobile, he has been helping us connecting key people around the globe. Super sharp and kind person with technical knowledge and passion in mobile gaming. Next time he visits San Francisco office, we got to hit beach or Napa!

Pic from Tokyo Game show.

Our friend from Helsinki (to the left) knows games and strategy. He is passionate about design and was cheking out buildings around Tokyo area. By the way, after this picture, on the way back to Tokyo downtown, he and I were drunk and took a wrong train ended up finding us in wrong prefecture in the middle of night...

Another friend from Vancouver (center), she is marketing person traveling last two months around the globe missing her dogs back in Canada ;-). She did fantastic work to get us exposure in Tokyo Game Show. Thanks to her preparation, both series (Symbian and Java) went really well!

Another friend from Vancouver(to the right), he is from publishing. He was having lots of successful negotiations with many key publishers during Tokyo Game Show. He likes Ultraman, Super Man kind of figure/series in Japan and was checking out figures in Akihabara. Next time he visits SF, we're going to hit SNAP Mobile Team's secret drinking spot.

Anyway, thanks for their support!

SNAP Mobile Tea Time!

SNAP Mobile team holds Tea Time Gathering whenever we get good sweet and tea. This time we had good jasmin tea, genmai-cha, cha-dango, moon cake anc chocolates. Though all of us were busy supporting pushes, people got together @ 3pm for 30 minutes to share fun time!


Product Manager and SDK Manager are in a same "Love Chair". This is how we make sure product requirements are met by SDK development team. Close communication, yah?

Everyone is relaxing while Quality Assurance is making Macha tea. Looks good...

SNAP Mobile Surf Team 2

SNAP Mobile surf girls (and one boy) are active. They plan surf trips here and there. They decided to hit Ocean Beach for lunch break session. Weather is nice and we are ready to jump into water!


One of our brave surf girls went against a gigantic set of waves. She took off but was caught in the closed-out wave. Sadly one of our team board was shattered but we honor her braveness. Go Heidi!
