This is more of a proof of concept but Raging Thunder shows what the iTouch is actually capable of. The game uses the accelerometer to move the car on the screen — kind of wonky — but look at the lens flare effects. Amazing stuff and it should be indicative of what we can expect from the SDK soon. Windows Mobile/Symbian take note. People are definitely going to be programming and porting rock-solid software for this platform, if they’re not already.

The game is hosted on the BigBoss repository in Installer.
