Upon announcing the merger of the game-streaming tech clothes late final month, GameStop laid out a coherent goal: "Once the Spawn Labs formation and contrast on a new consumer interface is complete, users will have evident access to a far-reaching preference of high-definition video games on urge on any internet-enabled device." Android phones and tablets (and Linux systems) would be present to be next on the checklist, but what about iOS devices?
"Getting the audio and video onto the iPhone or iPad is not as well hard," Spawn Labs' David Wilson sharp out in the residents forums ( a few months ago ). "Getting diversion manage in a way that functions for console games is hard -- but usually since Apple controls both the earthy and Bluetooth interfaces to the device." In reply to a followup question, he added, "Yes, Android is more inside of the manage than the iPhone."
While Spawn Labs has operated as a arrange of "Slingbox for gaming," with its Spawn HD-720 box providing the technology to river your diversion consoles' calm to a computer, GameStop appears to be angling to throw a sufficient wider net -- not just to river your console games on more devices, but to sell you new games to river on more gadgets . The sell hulk has moreover scooped up a digital placement stage in Impulse, that would seem just the thing to give that "wide preference of high-definition video games on demand" -- just as shortly as Spawns Labs' "new consumer interface is complete," of course. (Muahahahahaha!)
