The main one interested? EA.
Major MMORPG developer NCSoft released an application today for the iPhone which will basically let you handle your auctions and things of that nature in their newest hit game Aion.

Ever wanted to build your own custom Android phone with all the options you want? Well there is a company that offers just such a service called Synapse where you can do just that, at least if you live in Germany.
