iPhone/Touch games with local multiplayer   
Can anyone recommend any games offering local multiplayer over bluetooth on 
the iPhone/Touch please?  I'm after something to play with my daughter whilst 
we are on holiday and she only has a Touch so Wi-Fi is probably out.  At the 
moment we Flight Control, and I've just grabbed Alive-4-ever which is 59p 
today.

Thanks in advance.

Local multiplayer games we enjoy are Scramble, Let's Golf & The Price is 
Right

Scramble is a free download I think & the others I got at 59p sale not sure 
how much they are now though?

The touch doesn't do Bluetooth so you'll have to use p2p wifi.

Yes it does.  It's had bluetooth since OS3.0 came out.  I've used it to play 
Flight Control with my daughter.

What's the deal with Usenet today?... I'm finding loads of duplicated
posts (some done intentionally because it looked like the first had
failed.)

Not lost, it's just because I set follow-ups to uk.games.video.handheld.

Only the 2nd Gen Touch has Bluetooth, which was enabled in the OS3.0 update.

Bit rich of Apple to charge for enabling it though but given the cash cow 
that the Touch and iPhones are it's no wonder as there's no shortage of 
folks willing to pay extra for advanced new features like cut and paste...
