ScummVM goes iPhone

Now here’s a reason to rejoice this Monday. We’ve just spotted that the folks behind the ScummVM project has ported their popular application to the iPhone. Yes, it’s the true unofficial native app, meaning you’ll have to jailbrake your beloved handset before installing it — that’s in case you still tolerate the lack of real 3rd party apps. And after the install, voila… the world of good ol’ point-and-click adventures is open for you. You’ll be able to play such titles as Secret of the Monkey Island series, Day of the Tentacle, Flight of the Amazon Queen, Full Throttle, Simon the Sorcerer, Gobliiins, Indiana Jones and much more. And in case you have one of Nokia’s Internet Tablets, yap ScummVM can also work on your device. Enjoy!

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
