Transform your iPhone into a desktop pinball table
(Credit: New Potato Technologies)
It may just be a shell, but it's a pretty darn good rendition of a pinball arcade table, down to the plunger, flipper switches and LED backlit backbox which displays animation when you play. For pinball junkies who find the idea of tapping on an iPhone screen to flip the ball lame, the Pinball Magic (US$39.99) should score a hit.
All that's needed is to dock your iPhone or iPod (running on OS 3.0 and higher) into the 30-pin connector accessory, make sure you download the free pinball app (you'll need an iTunes account), and away you sling.
To add a touch of realism, the free accompanying game taps on the iPhone's onboard accelerometer to support tilt detection, so you can jostle your mini pinball arcade table just like the real deal and even get buzzed by tilt warnings. As a bonus, New Potato Technologies tries to stay true to the arcade gameplay with advanced multi-level and multiplayer options, four possible multi-ball modes, end-of-ball and replay bonuses, and ball savers.
