It's already ad-free, it's tax-funded. IIRC the mandate they're operating under prohibits them from including ads (although they've found a loophole, so some of sports broadcasts are preceeded by "this programme is presented by "). All in all by doing this, they're providing a better service for me, the tax-payer.

Agreed that the gaming-experience are much more fun and enjoyable on consoles or computers. Consoles are after all designed with a good gaming-experience in mind (at least to some extent). The regular cell-phone isn't designed to be a gaming-platform, it's mostly a phone. The exception may be nokias N-gage, tho I don't have any personal experience with it.

I am however guilty of playing some of my cell-phone-games, when I have nothing better to do, and nothing at all available to fiddle with. While i.e. forgetting to bring something to read while taking a dump or sitting on a bus.

I don't think mobile-phone-games will be a good "replacement" for console-gaming or pc-gaming anytime soon, but they serve their purposes.
