iPhone morphs into pinball machine
Flippin' iOS
Posted in Hardware, 5th April 2011 14:13 GMT
Pinball machines are hard to come by these days, and even the pre-installed version on Windows has died out. Fret not, Pinball Wizards! You can turn your phone into a miniature machine and relive those childhood arcade moments.
Pinball Magic transforms an iPhone with side-mounted flipper buttons, a ball launch plunger and a credit / select button. LED lights and traditional sounds also add to the nostalgic realism.
Compatible with all iPhone models and iPod touch 3.0 upwards, Pinball Magic [1] has several play modes, and includes tilt detection to cut out cheaters in traditional fashion.
Pinball Magic is available on pre-order at Firebox for £30. It will dispatch next week. You will need an app though to get it running, which can be downloaded for free.
Flipping heck. ®
