iPhones + iPad = so happy together

This is the exact gaming scenario (down to the example game) we were kicking around the other day. There’s so much fun stuff you can design with this kind of “hub + satellite” setup. Here’s hoping to it someday being possible.

A group of friends is huddled around a coffee table to play Zynga’s Poker Live. On the table as a centerpiece is an iPad–it shows a 6 and a pair of Aces as the flop, with a current pot of $100,000. Each player looks at their hand on their iPhones, considers how much they are going to bet. One player taps their bet higher and then flicks their chips off of their iPhone screen and onto the pot pile on the iPad. That’s how you do touchscreen Texas Hold’em.
