Wireless Portable Gaming

From this Wired article:

Hering’s colleagues then took the devices onto the road, where they played each other as they navigated the city’s notoriously crowded freeways. And except for when cars drove directly between them, they found they could maintain solid wireless connections between devices at distances of up to 350 feet.

To Hering, this was exciting.

“It brings up a cool theoretical,” he said. “A guy’s flying first-class to Hong Kong, and I’m flying coach. We have no idea who each other (is), but we fire up the devices, log into a multiplayer game and fire away. That was never possible before.”

It only took six years for this post I wrote a while ago to become close to being a reality. And the way technology is today, they won’t even be called yuppies.
