Mobile games, mobile-ges, mobages

After surfing the net a bit, I just realized that the term I've been using for mobile games, 'mobilege', is actually an anglicized version of the Japanese term mobage (モバゲ). I always thought the full version, mobairu ge-mu (モバイルゲーム) was just shortened to mobairu ge, literally mobile-ge, but apparently not! It's even shorter than that!

I'm probably going to use the more popular mobage term from now on then, I guess!
