Pong - iPhone Edition



There has been a lot of talk around iPhone based Social Networks about a "Seventh Grade Wiz Kid". I had no idea who they were talking about until I searched him on Twitter, and I got the whole story. Jonah Grant, a seventh grade wiz kid has developed his own iPhone App, but he had help with the icon and UI from Misecia, an icon designer!
I decided to buy the app to see what all the fuss was about and to my surprise it was a very good game. His game, Pong - The iPhone edition, is basically a reinvention of the widely popular video game. When you first play the game you most likely won't be impressed, but keep in mind that a SEVENTH GRADER made this app, but still the simplicity of this old school style app is nice. It does the same things as the original Pong, but not for long because Jonah has told me that some special features are coming soon, such as Feint enabled chat rooms, Bluetooth Peer-to-Peer networking (wireless 2 Player) and a few more things. You can Follow them both on Twitter at, http://twitter.com/jonahman2003 and http://twitter.com/misecia. Here are there web pages as well, http://www.grantjonah.tumblr.com/ and http://www.misecia.tumblr.com/. So to sum it up, this app is very simple and fun! Keep up the good work Jonah!
