The Dog & Duck / iPhone

Just got one of these - wish I had bought one of these sooner now.
Spent the last few years avoiding them as "everyone" else had one and I didn't want to follow the crowd. Went in to the local Car Phone Warehouse the other day and they traded my old phone for a fancy new 32GB 3GS - it rocks!

So, any must have Apps I should be getting?
Download, (amongst others!) Sky + App, Flight Control, Sheep Launcher!
Tempted by Sim City, anyone got it? Is it any good?

Anyone heard anything about this? Gamesradar are giving away Closed Beta Access keys for those that want to give it a try

At the time of writing this there seem to be a few left - I've just got one.

Not tried it yet, but it seems to be a Diablo/Warcraft (the original not the MMO!) clone - which isn't a bad thing!

Its all very true to be honest, I agree with all the points, especially the one about quests and the use of the Trade channel.

Not sure if anyone has seen this.

Pretty interesting stuff (and impressive IMO) Cloud based gaming does seem to be the future. Especially if broadband providers (even the UK based ones!) can start upping the bandwidth to decent levels. As this Tech Demo shows, you can run most things with a 1MB connection though, although it is Windowed.

Benefits are, no buying the media (although it is nice to have a shiny box sometimes), no patching and you can play it on any machine, including the potential for these Netbooks.
