Global Star Software Week here at the Pocket Goddess site ends with an interview with Jeff Quinn, Director of Product Development at GlobalStar Software. Enjoy!
Please tell us a little more about how Global Star Software got started.
Global Star Software was originally conceived in a small igloo, in the wilderness of Canada by two Canadians speaking “Canadian” that had nothing better to do due to the fact that the entire country is blanketed 90% of the time with a deep covering of snow. Actually truth be told the idea for Global Star came about as a result of the two founders of our national distribution company (Global Star Software Sister company) realizing that content would be king. Controlling content and distribution would give them a distinct advantage in the market already deeply entrenched with major Canadian powerhouse distributors focusing in the entertainment area like Beamscope. An idea that has proven itself over time as Beamscope is all but gone from the Landscape and Triad Distributors and Global Star Software live on and have been purchased just over two years ago by Take 2 Interactive

When we started to see people use the devices in everyday situations we believed they were ready for prime time and despite the hardware limitations we felt there was a demand. Further to that our belief is that Palms and handhelds are simply Game Boys for Adults with add-on contact managers J
Your first products for the Palm OS were mainly productivity and utility shareware packages. Now you’ve shifted to fully-licensed games for handhelds, such as Austin Powers Pinball, PortaPets, Shooting Gallery, and Mad Gab. Do you think handheld gaming is one of the largest growth areas in this market?
