Over the past year, a massive number of new game developers have created thousands of games for the iPhone and iPod Touch platform. The vast majority of these games are single-player games and most have no ability to share high score results with friends or other players.

There are a number of reasons for this situation:

1. An Internet-based multi-player game requires server infrastructure running 24x7 to facilitate player match-making.
2. Online score and rank tracking requires a significant web presense - user accounts, a website to display score data, and secure transmission of score data from game to server.
3. "Joining" two or more players together over the Internet so their games can communicate peer-to-peer is quite difficult due to the complications imposed by different firewall technologies (most devices will reside behind a firewall for security purposes).

A developer will incur significant costs trying to build the technology and server infrastructure required to support Internet based multi-player gaming. The economics of application distribution and growing competition make it difficult for any single developer to afford to build, deploy, and maintain such a service.

We have the solution.
