Android-Focused PapayaMobile Picks Up $18 Million From Keytone, DCM

Mobile-social gaming network PapayaMobile has picked up $18 million in a second round of venture funding from Keytone Ventures and DCM. The timing of the announcement is interesting as it comes just a few days after another similar company, OpenFeint, was picked up by Japan’s GREE for $104 million.

PapayaMobile’s SDKs let developers add social features to their games like leaderboards, chat rooms and notifications. The company also has an SDK for offer walls where users who don’t want to pay for virtual currency can download other apps to get it for free instead.
