Dear Aunt TUAW: I got two phones. Now what?
Dear Aunt TUAW,
I recently added a 2nd iPhone in our house, and we have a MacBook Pro as well. Are there any "cool things" I can try out with 2 iPhones? Or, possibly include the MBP in the scheme of things too?
What I can do with 2 iPhones that I can't with 1?
Your loving nephew,
Anup
Dear Anup,
Auntie is so glad you asked! A second iPhone opens up lots of possibilities when it comes to device-to-device gaming. You don't need an Internet connection to use a local Bluetooth connection. Be aware though that setting up GameKit connections can be pretty frustrating, so schedule in a bit of extra time before jumping into those head-to-head battles.
We here at TUAW like using external screen gaming with our phones too, like with Real Racing 2. With Reflection you can use your MacBook Pro as your big gaming screen, so that's another idea for you.
Of course, Auntie would be remiss if she didn't remind you that you can use that little green icon to place calls between your two devices -- even if you're not physically in the same location! Your iPhone is also a phone!
Got any other ideas for Anup? Add them to the comments!
Hugs,
Auntie T.
