iPhone gets Wi-Fi multiplayer Texas Hold'em poker game
And Apple made it themselves
Apple has turned publisher for the launch of its iPhone App Store this afternoon. It's selling a new version of the Texas Hold'em game that previously game out for iPods.
However, it's got a rather special new feature - Wi-Fi multiplayer for up to nine players. From the product page, it's hard to tell whether that's local multiplayer with people within wi-fi range, or full-on over-the-network multiplayer with players around the world.
Other stuff: the game offers a choice between top-down and first-person views, which you switch between by rotating your iPhone or iPod Touch - first-person is portrait mode, and top-down is landscape.
That's the first-person view above, but here's a shot of the top-down view:
Other stuff 2: there are in-game hints and tips, as well as stat tracking and player ratings. And it costs £2.99, which sounds something of a bargain.
