The petition or the making of it? I really can't see how a petition is going to convince Infogrames to give up rights on an IP that they spent a lot of money to acquire.

If you get something out of them, it will be for Civ I. Don't hope for more than this...

Let's hope Infogreed do something useful for a change 
Konquest: Even if it is Civ I, I'd still play it. Infact, Civ I on a palm would be the most feasible.

There's no clear public goal for this petition. The public who would want to play a commerical* (this game isn't free guys) strategy game on a mobile is relatively small. They've should have thought of this beforehand. And now they want to mobilize the Civ community? Why the hell should I petition a business decision?
You should also check this preview article about PDA games:
http://www.pdarcade.com/modules.php?...tid=39&page=13
A quick inspection of the article leads to another handheld game called Kingdom 2.0 which also sounds a lot like civ but with some extras and completely different graphics. Those in the Civ version graphics look suspiciously much like a combination of the MS-DOS and the Civ1 windows version. No wonder they want permission.
*For the record, FC can also be played on various handhelds which run WinCE or linux.

Seems decidedly pointless.
Since when does infogreed care what its customers want or think?

It's not that Infogrames doesn't care, it's that they payed lots of money for the trademark 'Civilization'. I don't see any company giving up something like that for free (or even cheap). It's really poor business.

Ivellios, that'll never happen. Civ is a PC game, and will stay a PC game forever, while Infogreed hold the copyrights.

We are all addicted to this game by playing it at home...
Now imagine playing it at work, school, on the bus, in the bathroom, etc. etc. It would be the end of labour productivity as we know it!!!
I'd think twice

hi ,
imagine you are sitting on a bus , a train or an airplane , and you can play CIV 
panag is very happy now that he knows it could run on symbian 
this really is a gap in the market and it would help people with the "one more turn syndrome"
have a nice day

Actually during the past 4 days I was participating in a Model United Nations simulation and was representing Chile in the Security Council.
http://www.apolyton.net/forums/showt...25#post1802425
Since the arab delegations in these sims actually dress like arabs and walk out to pray  , the least I could do to get "in the role" was to change my Apolyton flag
But it's over so I'm back with red white and green

One more turn...one more turn...one more turn...
Worse than coke or heroin this Civ addiction is. If I had civ on a PDA all social life and involvment in reality as I know it would suddenly and permanently cease.
