Worms Multi-Screen on iPhone

Team17 reckons it has created the world's first multi-screen app for the iPhone. That app is Worms.

The company's Facebook page shows the image to the right with the following text: "World's first?

"We think we have the world's first 'multi-screen' app for iPhone and it's great that Worms features this. The game detects 2, 3 or 4 nearby iPhones/Touches and uses them to pan the display across them if nearby, much like a multi-screen PC. In the shot below, 4 iPhones are used to pan the main display. 3 can be used in a wide configuration and 2 for a double height effect."

The feature (while most certainly cool and pretty) is, of course, pretty useless for Worms. Unless you have four iPhones/iPod Touches all of your own, it's really just a gimmick. It is good, however, to see someone pushing the iPhone's functionality.

Worms for the iPhone is due out sometime this year. In the more immediate future, it's coming to the PSN.

(What day is it again?)
