Now this is cool -

Social Gaming Network (SGN) has been around for a while making games for Facebook. Recently however, they have extended it’s development to the iPhone.

SGN made an app called iFun, that can be downloaded from the Apple App Store for free. Once installed, the app makes your iPhone behave like a Wii remote control.

So how does it work?

You load up the game on your PC from the SGN website (at this stage, golf is the only game available).

Once you’ve logged in on both your PC and your iPhone, you then swing your iPhone like a golf club (not too hard – unless you have insurance).

The app then sends data (via a wi-fi or cellular network) to the server and your ball moves as per your movement. This can be played in a social environment with other people as well.

While this currently works on the iPhone, SGN is looking to expand this to the Android-powered G1 as both phones have built in accelerometers.

SGN is looking to expand this further, by eventually allowing third party developers to build more games on their platform.

I guess we won’t need a Wii after all eh?
