Popcap Games (or the online gaming equivalent of crack cocaine) have inked an agreement with Nokia to bring a number of their titles to mobile, and to use the SNAP
mobile platform to provide multi-player support for the Java based
titles. In rough terms, SNAP is similar to the N-Gage Arena, but
primarily for J2ME applications, and it can also be run by a network
provider as their own gaming portal (eg YourNetwork Gaming Portal, SNAP powered), which should make the networks as happy as the gamers.

Just to make clear, according to Nokia their SNAP Mobile service is not a consumer brand, it's one of those "behind the scenes" technologies that are sold to other companies, so you may play SNAP Mobile games without even realising it.
To make things even more confusing, SNAP is the name of the network used to power the online services on both N-Gage and SNAP Mobile.
SNAP was originally built by Sega (SNAP = Sega Network Application Package) for use with their Dreamcast console, but when the Dreamcast was withdrawn from sale Nokia bought the network and used it with their soon-to-launch original N-Gage back in 2003.
