Ok… so I didn’t really get the SGN iGolf and iBowl games for the iPhone. I don’t get why you’d just want to play an Wii-like game when the screen is only your iPhone which you’re swinging around. Now the technology makes sense.
SGN has released iFun. With this, you can tether your iPhone or iPod Touch together with your computer. The game is on your computer but you swing your iPhone like a golf club. After you swing, you’ll see the result on the screen of your computer… the ball flying throug the air on the golf cours.e
This is really impressive. I can see how things like iGolf and iBowl were kind of first order projects to get to the bigger project which is iFun. I can see folks coming together, all bringing their iPhones, and playing golf together.
Check out their video:
This is one of the first cases where I’ve real innovation on the iPhone platform. I hope we’ll see more soon.
Have you played iFun yet? What do you think? Also… what is the most innovative thing you’ve seen thus far for the iPhone?
Heh… anyone up for a golf game?
