Mobile Content Bits: Dennis Publishing's Monkey; Gameloft; Telenor's Mobile Novel

— Monkey Goes Mobile: Dennis Publishing and mobile media firm Player X have launched a mobile TV channel based on its online lad's magazine Monkey. Mad.co.uk reports the free ad-funded service will take content from the digital magazine, as well as offer up content tailored for mobiles. The service has snagged a sponsorship deal with Twentieth Century Fox's comedy 'Meet The Spartans.' The film's trailer will run within the content on Monkey's mobile TV channel. To access the service, users will have to download the channel, which will work on all UK networks.

— Brain Challenge Goes From Mobile to Xbox 360: Pocketgamer.co.uk reports that the deal between games publisher Gameloft (EPA: GFT) and Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT) to bring their mobile game Brain Challenge to the Xbox 360 is the first time that a mobile game has moved off wireless devices and onto another platform. It's also the first time a "brain trainer game" has hit the Xbox, so it should do nicely for Gameloft, whether users have heard of the mobile version or not.

— Mobile Novel for Telenor: Norwegian mobile operator has launched Andreas Markusson's new crime novel "The First Time I Died" exclusively on Telenor's Norwegian audio book service, Telenor Lydbok. The novel was written especially for the mobile phone, and will be presented as a "litcast". Telenor now has approximately 300 titles in their mobile bookshop, all lasting 10-20 minutes long, and costing 20 Norwegian krowns ($4) (release).
