BiggiFi is a revolutionary mobile content enrichment platform that converges small screen mobile platforms with large screen display devices. Today's casual gaming, web browsing and applications are often accessed using smartphone and tablets. BiggiFi brings the rich mobile ecosystem to the big screen displays in the home, on the go and at work.
BiggiFi changes the user experience paradigm, takes advantage of a new landscape and drives latency-free communications between consumer appliances. With BiggiFi, a user can play games alone or in a group, just as they would with a Nintendo Wii or a Microsoft XBOX Kinect using smartphones, tablets and a large display, making it possible to reach a broader base of consumers than with the traditional console gaming platforms. The same applies for web browsing, social networking experiences and other mobile applications.

Yes, there are a lot of Sudoku games for the Pocket PC. There is, however, only one of them, the lately released version 1.2 of Fast Sudoku, to support for multiplayer gaming, where players strive for filling in the cells faster than the other players. Please see The Definitive Multiplayer PPC Game Roundup and also make a generic search for multiplayer in the Pocket PC Mag Expert Blogs to see what other multiplayer games there are and what multiplayer is about.
The multiplayer model of the game is, fortunately, the most flexible one as it’s IP-based (the IP address of the host must be manually entered). This means it can be both played over local Bluetooth PAN and Wi-Fi peer-to-peer connections and remote connections even over slow, say, GPRS or EDGE dial-up.
The game is available here. It has a fully-functioning 3-day trial version; the registered version costs $9.95.
In this review, I only contentrate on the multiplayer-related questions because it's in mostly multiplayer modes that I prefer playing games (and the single player mode is very easy to check out by anyone).
Pros
Support for multiplayer
Most flexible IP-based multiplayer model
Support for several (not just two) players taking part in a game
Native VGA support (Except for the on-screen numeric keypad, but it’s not visible while playing)
Almost no in-game CPU usage – not even in multiplayer mode!
Wide compatibility with all Pocket PC 2002+ Windows Mobile versions
Cons
Very awkward and slow numeric keypad in multiplayer mode
The always-enabled ClearType may get on the nerves of some (for example me)
Not any kind of in-game music
No multiplayer goodies like chat support
As the game doesn’t support a central dispatcher server model, goodies like server-side high score storage and remote games are impossible between devices all behind different firewalls
Example screenshots
On the host:
Setting up the host – giving the host a name (it can be anything)
Starting to wait for clients; the IP address displayed in here must be entered to clients connecting to the host
An example of two devices having joined the host (a HTC Wizard and a Dell Axim x51v; both via Wi-Fi P2P)
On the client(s):
First, name the clients
Then, enter the IP address of the host
Generic multiplayer stuff:
Checking out how many cells the other players have already filled in
Aditional notes
Note that while the game itself doesn’t consume any CPU cycles at all (resulting in a very low battery consumption), some (not all!) Bluetooth stacks may have a considerably higher CPU usage when operating in PAN mode, depending a lot on a lot of other factors. For example, my Pocket Loox 720, while only consuming some 2.8% (average) CPU time in BT PAN mode, consumes some 30% CPU time while fully loaded with programs and other paired devices. (Will further check and elaborate on this later.) I haven’t run into similar problems with other Widcomm implementations or Wi-Fi P2P connections.

Any thoughts? Looks like Adobe is finally Going to support our phones.....
following from "Mobile internet trends"
Adobe looks set to strengthen its position as a power broker in the mobile internet world in 2009. The company has already announced ambitious strategies to create software platforms that would span PC and mobile devices, and all the major mobile operating systems. Because of the importance of its Flash technology in the media market, it is also working closely with both sides of the battle to control the processor that goes into next generation mobile internet devices - Intel x86 or ARM. Its strategic relationships with both sides, and their race to outdo one another with the most advanced implementations of technologies like Flash, should accelerate the development of the market and strengthen Adobe's overall position.
In November, ARM and Adobe announced they would collaborate to optimize both Flash Player 10 and the AIR 1.5 cross-runtime platform - which Adobe aims to establish as a de facto standard by opening APIs through its Open Screen Project - for mobile devices. In particular, the partners would work on API support for graphics chips and hardware accelerators, and lower power consumption. ARM partners like Qualcomm, Texas Instruments and Nvidia are also expected to participate and this could be the breakthrough Adobe needs in making fully blown Flash, rather than the less functional Flash Lite, universal in high end phones, allowing it to storm the Android fortress (Android does not currently support Flash, though Adobe has shown its software working on the Google OS) and even the hostile territory of Apple.
looks like some HD2 specific touches in there..

One important innovation in SPB Mobile Shell 5.0 is the Natural Interaction Engine which includes support for G-sensor and multitouch, a dedicated Feedback Engine providing realistic visual and haptic responses, and a Physics Engine responsible for the real-world behavior of all objects.
