iPong on multiple iPod Touch devices


Ryo Shimizu, CEO of Ubiquitous Entertainment Inc. (also active as a blogger under the handle name "shi3z"), introduced iPong, his researcher buddy Mr. Kondo's toy application for the iPhone/iPod Touch.

Not much by way of explanation is provided, but multiple iPod Touches seem to be connected wirelessly and serve up a virtual game of Pong. Mr. Shimizu wrote that Mr. Kondo made it in about an hour.

Ubiquitous Entertainment Inc. is a company making mobile CMS and middleware.

[Update 2011-07-09] This iPong post generated a good buzz, however, all the Youtube movie, the iPhone application and its info on the company website seemed to be taken down by Ubiquitous Entertainment months later. Probably trademark infringement?
