Manchester based Connect2Media has signed a deal with New York studio Sonic Boom to bring the firm's Pocket series to Android.

As part of the four-game license, both Pocket Farmer and Pocket Zoo Kepper will launch on carrier decks for Android later this summer.

Two further releases are planned to follow on at a later date.

"The agreement with Sonic Boom allows us to add even more quality content and a wider variety of game genres to our colourful catalogue of mobile games," said Connect2Media CCO Roger Davies.

"The deal rests on our commitment to continue to provide quality Java games, whilst placing focus on producing and distributing world-class games for the Android market."

Connect2Media says it also plans to expand Sonic Boom's Pocket brand to Java devices outside of the US, where they've already performed strongly.
