It seemed goofy and retro and cool. I thought they were all backlit and had touchscreens, but this is apparently not the case! Amazon announced that an SDK would be released, but only sort of: they're pulling the same shit Valve pulled when they announced the Steam SDK. Submit your e-mail address to get notified when the limited beta starts next month. Participants in the limited beta will be able to download the Kindle Development Kit, access developer support, test content on Kindle, and submit finished content. Those wait-listed will be invited to participate at a later date as space becomes available. I mean, fuck off. More intriguing is the iTablet. Or iPad. Or - well, if you feel strongly about its name, you can make a bet. Frotz already exists for the iPhone, so as long as the tablet can run iPhone apps from day one, we've got our solution for a good portion of text games that exist today. I'd assume TADS and Hugo would be ported to it shortly thereafter. ICJ |
