Having seen a few demos in my time, and someone sent me a link to this one. What impressed me about this was how powerful a technology demo it was (from UK-based Antix Labs – http://antixlabs.com. A mobile version of Sim City (a well known branded game) was running on PC, and this was sent via bluetooth to a Windows Mobile phone. OK, so far so good, and pretty impressive.
The game was then bluetoothed from the Windows Mobile phone to a Symbian phone, and then played on that!! Wow!
What I found so impressive, was that this was the binary of a branded C++ game (not a Java game) that ran on 3 different platforms – yep, you heard me, the same binary!! I.e. not a different build version for the operating system. Now, maybe someone has seen a demo like that before, but I never have. You could just see how this could set the mobile gaming scene alight.
