The Sulake Corporation just opened www.bobba.com a new virtual world.

Arcticstartup has a post on it already (naturally):

Sulake has said already back in 2006 that they will do some mobile products, as this old article from Gigaom states:

It also states that "Sulake is planning an IPO at the end of next year." (this was 2006) which didn't quite happen like that ;-) All thou I am sure they are 100% ready for IPO any day, everything it requires from the processes and systems side is probably there.

At least some of Habbo is also available for mobile devices:

Naturally they have had the "Mini Friday" thing going on for ages:

http://www.minifriday.com/

Minifriday is already over 1M users strong.

Looks like Sulke is building quite the product portfolio and going after many different markets; or perhaps even the same consumer from multiple points of engagement.

Cool stuff! Best of luck to those new ventures. It's a hugely competed field out there, luck is kind of needed.
