Aquimo-a new experience of golf with virtual golf course

The game bug inside me led to my search for a golf app in iTunes in my iPhone.I came across an app called 'Aquimo Pin high'.Aquimo Pin High
Upon researching Aquimo I found out that at present this app is available on iPhone coming on Android soon.
I never thought that a phone can be used to play golf in real life.
You actually swing the phone and can see the ball fly on the phone and in high-definition on any web page, which is easily projected on a TV, for example. The graphics are spectacular, you don’t need a $500 game console, and it’s quick and convenient to play – Pin High takes about 15 minutes to play 9 holes. Their product puts the equivalent of a $30,000 golf simulator in the hands of anyone who has a mobile phone and a web page. You can play solo or connect with friends worldwide.
Aquimo Pin High is modeled after Angry Birds, where players have three chances to toss birds and beat the pesky pigs. In Pin High users have three shots to get closest to the pin. Shoot a bogie and unlock the next level. The score card tracks your best score on each hole. Tournament mode enables you to play against others and compete for prizes, where, of course, closest to the pin wins.

It’s amazingly simple to setup: (1) Just download the app from Aquimo Pin High2) fire up the App and tap aiCONNECT to create an account. You will get an email and touching the link in the email activates the account. (3) Open a web page and go to play.aquimo.com – log in with your account ID and your phone becomes a remote control for the web page, and you can take swings and play the first game, Aquimo Pin High.

Touch the golf club bag to select a club: you get a wedge, 7 irons and 3 woods for free, and 10 free points to purchase an additional club. Players win points for pars and birdies in the game, and can buy points in the virtual Pro Shop (99 cents for 10 points). The first release is a single player game of nine holes. Expect additional packs of nine holes in the next several weeks. The true multi-player game is coming soon, so that friends can be anywhere and play together. Aquimo also has a full golf course simulator in the works, which will include putting and chipping.

The phone is perfect for making practice swing. Think of phone as holding a club in the palm of your hand. You then get to shape shots exactly as you would in real golf swing. The real time feedback is commendable. It is very addictive.AMAZING!
