Sidhe launches into iPhone, iPod apps market

Wellington game developer Sidhe has launched a development group for Apple iPhone and iPod touch apps.

Wellington-based electronic game developer Sidhe Interactive says it has launched a development group, PikPok, for applications in the iPhone and iPod Touch market.

It just released its first such game, called Fame, in line with a feature film about to be released under the same name.

The game enables players to "dance" their fingers across a touch screen and for scores against their dancing to be loaded on to Facebook and Twitter.

Sidhe was established in 1997 and its first big breakthrough was a rugby league game developed for PlayStation 2, Xbox and PC.
