At the end of the game, an additional four-second advertisement is also shown, but in between, the user is playing a free, full-featured version of the game. After 24 hours, the user is given the opportunity to purchase the game, or download a new game for an additional 24 hours. The model allows users to try before they buy with minimal investment, and lets publishers generate revenue on game sales.<\/p>\n According to recent research by leading industry analysts Mind Commerce and Gartner Group, the mobile advertising market is anticipated to grow anywhere from $14.6 billion in 2011, to $19 billion in 2012. DIDMO currently counts advertisers such as 7-Eleven, Activision, Unilever, and other well-known Scandinavian brands as clients due to its ability to deliver a 5-10% click-through rate on the ads it serves, as compared to 1-2% for WAP banners.<\/p>\n Since DIDMO’s June 2006 launch in Sweden, the company has established strategic partnerships with Scandinavia’s top mobile carriers including Telia, Halebop, and Tele2, and online portals such as Nokia MOSH, and GetJar.com, which offer direct downloads of DIDMO mobile games. As of January 2008, the DIDMO application has achieved an impressive two million downloads with an average of 220,000 game downloads per month in Scandinavia alone and growing rapidly. By entering the US, Germany, Spain and UK markets, 3.5 million users are expected to be using DIDMO on a regular basis by August 2008.
