The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks sets hero Link on a daring new adventure. The game provides players with a new story, more puzzles and even a new mode of transportation. In this game, Link voyages by train, which offers up new possibilities for problem-solving. Link also uses a variety of new items and weapons, including the Whirlwind, which players activate by blowing into the microphone of the Nintendo DS or DSi. The game has the same look and feel established in the hit NDS game The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass. www.nintendo.com

How to install software & games on china mobile?

For branded phone look for a Java icon or just do a quick Google search like "model name + java". For unbranded phones, asking your supplier that it has Java will work.
Connect your phone to your computer via USB connection. After that, you should see a removable drive appear in your “My Computer” just as if you plugged in a USB flash drive or an external hard drive. If your phone has internal memory as well as a memory card slot inserted (almost always a microSD) you will see two removable drives.
Choose a removable drive with some spare memory and create a new folder
within named “java” (you don’t have to call it this, but it will keep
things nice and clean so you can easily locate your apps later).

Search online to find a java app you like. I recommend this site.

http://www.getjar.com

They have a nice selection of apps, let you easily narrow your search by manufacturer or platform for easy navigation, and the java apps are almost all free (I recommend using "Java Generic" if you are not sure of your phones model)

After you have found the java application you like, go ahead and download it, but make sure that the file you are downloading is a Jar file (.jar)

Once the downloading is finished, a zipped file should show up wherever your computer sends download files (a quick tip is to download to your desktop).

Don’t worry about unzipping the file, just click and drag the zipped file from your computer to your USB connected phone (remember the "java" folder from step 2?)

Disconnect your phone from the computer USB port, locate your file manager on your phone, find your "Java" folder you created early, and open it. Inside the folder you should see your .jar file, so simply select it and allow an installation. If successful, your phone will tell.

Find on your phone where java apps are run from (could be games, could be an icon, ect), find your uploaded application’s name, open it and enjoy.

ABSTRACT

In this session, we’ll review the psychology and system thinking behind game design, and learn how to use game mechanics to create an experience that’s fun, compelling, and addictive on the Web and mobile. We’ll conclude by showcasing some cutting-edge services that incorporate these ideas and show us what future of social and applications will look like.

“It’s one of my absolute favorite discussions on user engagement & how to think about app / web design & user engagement by using strategy from game mechanics.” – Dave McClure (http://500hats.typepad.com/500blogs/2008/03/putting-the-fun.html)

A lot of our services here at Google can benefit from simple ways to make them more engaging by applying lessons from game mechanics.
