Aplix announced [in Japanese] they will introduce their Mobile Game Deployer – MGD – application targeted at domestic content providers in order to enable auto transcoding for the Windows Mobile Marketplace. Designed to convert existing i-Appli programs, originally configured to run on i-mode terminal specs, the software will apparently also handle the tricky touch and rotation panel functions.

Aplix is famed for their JBlend software, and according to the PR, the company expects this new MGD product to ship this fall. It would be a safe guess they have a few other platform migration targets in the hopper.
