Next Generation Mobile Company :)

Neil Young, CEO of ng:moco:) and 11-year EA vet, had a keynote speech at iphonedevcamp2. He talks about the iPhone as a gaming platform.

I've posted about this before and totally agree. Neil Young brought up some interesting points. The iPhone is a multimedia device that could potentially allow games to tap into all sorts of functionality that no one has considered before. What if the game changes based on GPS? What if an SMS text was a medium for action? What if games spanned multiple days to play (one doesn't turn off an iPhone)?

These are very interesting things to think about and I am excited that a company like ng:moco exists to foster a new generation of game developers.
