A store, not a device: phones come from many brands, and the number of games changes every day.
About the family
On phones, games arrive through app stores. Apple's App Store opened on July 10, 2008 with about 500 apps, and some games from that first day are still on sale. On Android, the Android Market store was renamed Google Play on March 6, 2012, bringing together apps, music, movies and books; Google said every app that was on Android Market was still on Google Play.
