Another Reason To Buy An iPhone

Need another reason to buy an iPhone? How about because of its GPS capabilities?

MotionX: Poker Quest

One of the first apps I downloaded when I inherited my brother’s old iPhone was MotionX Dice. It was brilliant in its execution: 3D dice rendered with loving detail, lots of custom dice and perfect use of the accelerometer.

Motion-X Poker Quest Review

The Motion-X dice engine is hands down the best on the iPhone. The free app came out originally to demonstrate the engine, and works very well. It was only a matter of time before the devs turned it into game. They have done so in both Motion-X Poker, and Motion-X Poker Quest.

Anything that makes poker a little easier to play is a good thing in my book. I’ve never been able to get my head around a game where you can actually win with a bad set of cards.
