Symbian Smartcards- geek games

Filed under: Reviews — stmcgill @ 9:10 am

The review of Symbian Smartcards at All About Symbian made me laugh- one for the true geek:) “Every year, on leaving the Smartphone Show, Rafe, Steve and I pick up the Symbian pamphlet of all the published phones, and joke that this is the year that we would sit down, write some Flash code, and create a Top Trumps game, where people could compare the properties of each phone on a programmed playing card – winner takes both cards, and another round is played. Keep playing until you have all the cards.

Well, this year, we didn’t have to do that. Whether someone in the Symbian Press/Wiley Publishing marketing department has been paying attention, or simply smoking something interesting, once we jumped on the DLR to get back home, we each had in our hands a box of ‘Symbian Smartcards’. Yes, 52 actual playing cards, with all the stats.

Who needs flash when you have cardboard?”
