Sina Science and technology news Beijing time September 14 afternoon, according to the mobile Industry information website Phonenews.com reported that social game developers Zynga has quietly acquired the mobile start-up company Hiplogic part of the assets and team. Hiplogic was originally a mobile UI platform for mobile phone manufacturers to make the phone's home screen more interactive. Later, Hiplogic unveiled its flagship product, *spark, a master-screen replacement for Symbian and the Android system. *spark can be used as a substitute for the Android home screen, with rivals including HTC Sense and Samsung TouchWiz, which provide pre-installed content and the latest weather, news and sporting content. Analysts say the acquisition of Hiplogic means Zynga wants to move further away from its reliance on Facebook. Owning an Android development team will allow Zynga to develop a clearer development strategy beyond Facebook, making it easier for apps and games to transition from iOS to Android. As Android apps are harder to develop than iOS apps, many people in the mobile development community have criticized Android. The Android system is based on Java technology and has the potential to turn social gaming from a mobile platform to a desktop platform. Google is reportedly trying to embed the game and apps into Google + to provide users with a gaming experience that is superior to Facebook. *spark has been removed from apps such as Android Harsh, Amazon's App Store and Ovi store.

The phonenews.com website confirms that Hiplogic as a company has not been bought by Zynga as a whole, and that the company's liabilities could exceed its assets. But it is reported that Hiplogic's core development team and managers are now important members of the Zynga mobile team. Zynga now has about 5 Android games and more than 5 iOS games. Until now, Zynga has not officially confirmed any form of takeover of Hiplogic. (oak) to share:
