Oh my. Still need convincing that the iPhone/iPod touch is the greatest gaming platform ever made? Then check this video of a couple Japanese researchers playing a game they claim to have put together “in about an hour”: multiscreen, touch-based Pong.
On first glance, it looks like the game is even checking orientation of the iPods, but if you watch it a little further, when things go faster, you can see that it’s actually just pushing the ball from screen to screen as it leaves. Still, if nothing else, a quick demo like this shows that multiple Touches (via a certain website, or on the same WiFi network, maybe, or — hopefully — just in close proximity to one another through Bluetooth or another protocol) can easily be made to connect multiplayer gamers.
As a demo, very nice (and it seems fun as a game as well). Can’t wait to see a full-featured game that takes advantage of all of the iPhone’s connectivity options.
Another intriguing job opportunity at Cupertino today is for a senior RF System Engineer. Unlike the GPS one, it’s not iPhone specific. Here are the chops you need: “Knowledge about Bluetooth, 3G, UWB, WiMAX, GPS, Mobile TV and similar wireless technologies and/or experience with wireless module integration into PC system or consumer products is a strong plus.” Man, I bet all that would be swell in an iPhone or notebook or mini-tablet.

I’ve got it on good authority that an iPhone ad is being shot today by a big name director. It’s probably Apple’s traditional ad agency, and the only thing that my source and I can’t confirm is whether this is for iPhone 2 or the first gen. I’m guessing it’s for the second generation given the scope of the ad’s resources and the timing.

This three day not-for-profit gathering takes place August 1-3 at Adobe Systems in San Francisco. Over at the mothership, Jim Dalrymple has more on the conference, including input from one of its founders….
Wired Senior Editor Nick Thompson was on the Today Show this morning talking about why the N95 and iPhone are the best high-end phones and the RAZR is the best cheap phone. OK, fair enough. Unfortunately for Nick, when he dropped the RAZR to the floor to demonstrate its durability, it ended up getting destroyed in the process. It’s a sound and sight I’m sure many of you former RAZR owners are familiar with. Well, I guess it proved your point, Nick: the RAZR is cheap. Very cheap. [Boing Boing Gadgets]
