Griffin PartyDock Enables Multiplayer Gaming On The iPhone/iPad

on 08/26/2010 00:08 PST

Apple’s iPhone isn’t really a multiplayer gaming device that can be shared amongst friends in the same room, but the folks over at Griffin seem to think that it’s possible. The company has sent its PartyDock iPhone accessory to the FCC today, and it enables up to four players to enjoy games on a single iPhone. The devices includes four wireless controllers that can be used to select PartyDock games such as Midway Motors, Fishing Frenzy, and Flippin’ Frogs, with more PartyDock games to be released in the future. The PartyDock is also able to be connected to an external monitor via composite or component connections, giving you a better viewing experience. The PartyDock currently supports the iPhone 4 and iPad, though there hasn’t been any word on pricing or release date just yet.

iOS was once upon a time called iPhone OS, or "operating system", which is the software that provides all the basic device functionality and is the interface between the hardware and applications. iOS was introduced with the iPhone on January 9 2007, and it was originally not intended to be programmable by third parties. Steve Jobs had envisioned that developers could create Web Apps that would run in the browser. This changed less than one year after when the iPhone SDK (software development kit) was introduced in October 2007. Today, hundreds of thousands of apps have been created for this platform. iPhone OS became iOS on June 2010. Interestingly, both iPhone and iOS were former trademarks of Cisco, that Apple now uses under a license.
