Mobile Flash Apps Shop Smashing Ideas Buys BlueSkyNorth

Seattle-based mobile Flash and other interactive applications firm Smashing Ideas has bought UK company BlueSkyNorth, marking an entrance into western Europe. Both companies produce Flash content -- BlueSkyNorth focuses on Flash Lite content for mobile phones.

"The studios will co-develop a content site in Europe, along with a broad range of casual games, lifestyle applications, and other mobile content. The acquisition continues Smashing Ideas' drive to expand its footprint in the mobile marketplace and to further its Flash Lite content group efforts. Terms of the deal were not disclosed."
This spring, Smashing Ideas also announced its mobile content aggregation plans.
