iBowl is a new game that promises to appeal to a number of iPhone/iPod Touch-equipped bowling fans. The idea is of course to go beyond “standard mobile bowling” by using iPhone’s built-in accelerometer and deliver the best bowling on-the-go experience.
Here’s what the official release says:
To play iBowl, the user depresses the ‘BOWL’ button on the touch-screen interface throughout the swing and releases the button at the end of the swing to direct the bowl down the bowling lane. By twisting your wrist while you swing the iPhone the player can create spins and control the direction of the bowling ball.
Finally the best part – iBowl is free. Here’s the link to the AppStore from where you can grab it. Enjoy!


Given that the 3g iphone is shiny and you have to “mimic” the action of proper bowling, I can see a few iphones getting chucked or slipping out owners hands by mistake! maybe they will come out in the future with a wii type strap fitted!!!!
Lol Lowey!
yeah I guess a wii style strappy should be used!
Iphone is a bit more expensive than a wii controller though!
