Origin's new social features allow you to create a profile, connect and chat with your friends, share your game library, and effortlessly join your friends' games.

For gamers on the go, Origin services are also available on your mobile device! With the world's leading mobile gaming portfolio, EA offers mobile gamers an unmatched experience through Origin, including the ability to find and connect with your friends to play and share in a leading edge smartphone environment.

Meh, it's just EA trying to compete with steam, so far I see no reason to make a switch, nor buy anything from them and their ridiculous prices.

And mobile gaming doesn't interest me one bit, since I use my phone as a phone, not a games playing machine.
