NAMCO BANDAI released an awesome iOS app called iGunCon, which allows iPhone 4 and iPad 2 owners to use their beloved smartphone as a controller for the hot shooting titles TIME CRISIS 2ND STRIKE for iPhone and iPod touch, TIME CRISIS 2ND STRIKE HD for iPad and TIME CRISIS 2ND STRIKE on the Mac App Store. That’s the official line, but honestly I can only imagine using an iPhone as a controller to aim at the iPad or Mac screen — the iPad 2 is just too big for the purpose.
If you want to try this out (and by all means – do it), download iGunCon on your iPhone 4, then link it to an iPad or Mac that is running TIME CRISIS 2ND STRIKE and start your shooting spree. Your iPhone 4 will display a Trigger, Action and Reload areas, while the device running TIME CRISIS 2ND STRIKE will show crosshairs. Players can line the crosshairs up with enemies and tap the Trigger area to shoot their way through multiple pulse-pounding game modes. Awesome!
Aside from this Controller Mode, iGunCon also has a way less interesting Toy Mode that allows gamers to recreate the shooting sounds from TIME CRISIS series of games, including the sounds of the in-game handgun, machine gun, shotgun and grenade launcher.

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.
