iPhone – PS3 Connectivity
“A NetBlender SDK will soon allow Apple’s iPhone to communicate with
the PlayStation 3 console, CTO Denny Breitenfeld reveals to Gizmodo
today. The new connectivity will see the the iPhone acting as a PS3
remote control, and will also introduce new touch features that might
be integrated into PS3 movies (via Blu-ray), games and applications.
The CTO said the new SDK “will allow studios, independent movie
companies to enable BD Touch features. These features send data in two
directions from the Disc to the iPhone and vice versa. Video, audio,
text, and player commands can be sent. So right now it seems everyone
likes the ‘remote control’ idea. However the player can control the
iPhone as well.”
Another possible application of this new feature would see portable
versions of Blu-ray releases copied to the iPhone for watching on the
go.
More on this as we get it.”
