cross device games

[alobar72]

I believe some sort of cross device games could be cool.
Imagine i.e. you play cars together - lets say Skat, Bridge, whatever.
you have you own hand on your iPhone, while the deck is on the iPad on the table for everyone to see. And you swipe a card from your hand to the deck - so from your phone to the tablet...
I would realy much like those kind of games.

Welcome to the forums, Alobar.

And I couldn't agree more. Something along those lines would be great. Considering the iPad is utilizing Bluetooth, it's definitely possible to see something of that nature, as they have applications like that available for the iPhone and iPod Touch.

I think playing a card game like that, where you have to lay down cards on the table (iPad), and then take cards from the stack on the tablet (iPad) would show a lot of people what this technology can do. It would definitely get a lot of new customers.

wow, that would be sweet!

I believe there will be many games like this.
Interesting point will be, if the latentcy of the wireless connection will allow action games to.
You could then use the iphone completely as an controller and the ipad would be the monitor without any controlls.
Imagine a 2 Player Action RPG that way.

Also I believe this could be a nice Renaissance for old board games.
Ok - they are not very cool :-)
But: imagine you dont have to look for the bits and pieces of those old boardgames.
You can make grandma happy by playing a game ludo with her.

Caps, don't pimp out your stuff here.

As for the game ideas, Alobar, I think you're spot on. Especially with the board games. I'd love to play games like 'Go' in the digital realm, and on a platform that is 9.7-inches. I think that would just be fun. And of course, I wouldn't have to worry about any of the pieces going missing. Which, you know, would be great.

yea the idea of not being able to loose the pieces is extremely appeasing to me

and how many phones are still waiting to get froyo.. and oh. dont get me started about gingerbread�� i find it funny that google has to make up names for the os updates, to hide the fact that they dont do anything besides fix more and more bugs and try to save battery life. mp4 to dvd converter The same thing happened to me. I reset the phone and the number of messages normally again. Obviously a bug that needs fixing.
