Multiplayer mobile gaming? Coming soon.

It's one thing to power up your PC or console and start fragging a friend; but the days of seeing giblets fly on your cell phone might be coming soon. There are many technological hurdles to getting a "twitch game" to work on a cell, but the industry is getting there, bit by bit. From the looks of it, the first gen of mobile multiplayer games will be turn-based, allowing each player to send their moves in to a server individually. But once the latency kinks are worked out, you could be playing Doom with your lonely cousin who took that job on the fishing boat in Alaska.
