This is very cool: An iPhone used to control an interactive game played on a HD television connected to an iPad.
It’s hard to believe this game (“The Incident“) is $1.99. (Of course you DO need a $500+ iPad, a $150+ iPhone, and a HD television of uncertain cost…) Still, there’s a big difference here between a $50 game for a Wii or XBox console and an iOS device…
Hat tip to @cabowabochris for sharing the TechCrunch article including this video, “Whoa, The iPad Is About To Become A Video Game Console Controlled By The iPhone.” Thanks to @cogdog and @GaryPHayes for the tweets and re-tweets which led me to the article link! I’m going to show this to my almost 13 year old son tonight. I’m sure he’ll be stoked to contemplate the possibilities!

One response to “The iPad as a TV game controller”
I saw this posted on Tech Crunch too, but I didn’t pay too much attention to it since I have neither device. 🙂 Related to this, I helped a teacher today use her iPhone as a clicker for a PPT presentation. We used Touch Mouse, and it worked pretty well.
