"The iPhone\u2019s accelerometer technology has already led to a number of very cool and very popular games.  But tonight, SGN is taking it to a whole different level, allowing you to utilize the Nintendo Wii-like functionality to turn your iPhone (or iPod Touch) into a computer game controller that can be used on your desktop machine.    \nCalled iFun, the new features are an extension of SGN\u2019s existing gaming lineup (iBowl, iBaseball, iGolf, etc.).  iGolf is the first game to get the iFun treatment, and while you\u2019ll look utterly ridiculous playing it, it\u2019s incredibly cool and shows where iPhone games could be headed.  \n\n\n\n\nTo get started, you create an account on the new iFun website and download the application to your phone.   Then, you login on both, take a golf swing with phone in-hand, and watch the ball fly on the computer screen.  This is exactly how iGolf  works on your phone, except now, it\u2019s on your big screen monitor.  It\u2019s essentially like playing a real computer or console game, but using your iPhone or iPod touch as the controller.\nThe other game options are fairly rudimentary at the moment \u2013 like being able to change clubs and adjust your shot direction based on the wind \u2013 but the concept is very exciting, and one I imagine we\u2019ll see applied to a lot of future iPhone games \u2013 especially those that want to charge money for playing them.\nCheck out the video demo below to see how it's done:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
