Using the touch interface to control the deck it is aptly titles ‘Finger Fracture’ and i read about it recently on a couple of sites.

Interesting use of the touch control and a good way to spend a few hours i reckon, although in the litigeous US they may end up gettined sued for RSI.

Anyways, nice piece on trandwatch about it http://www.thetrendwatch.com/2008/01/11/hardscore/

I think this is such a killer app for the iPhone due to the number of worldwide people who play the game (millions estimated) and posts by players looking for a handheld computer that can do similar.
