Army's Newest Training Simulator: The Mobile Phone
Need more evidence that the computing power of mobile phones is reaching the power to turn the little buggers into real computers rather than just phones? The US Army is already moving some of their training simulators to mobile phones to help continue training (and guiding) personnel on the go. Obviously, many of the simulation games require quite a bit of horsepower. They're clearly not as advanced as some of the PC simulation games the Army offers, but it's clear that they don't think it will take very long to get to that stage.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
