Googlephone app makers set to take $5 million in funding

Venture capital has found its way onto Google's open mobile platform, Android. W2Pi Studios, the company behind WiFiArmy, a videogram written for Android, is set to take $5 million in funding, a company source tells Valleywag. Company president Peter Whatanitch explains the game's premise in the video above. "This game allows you to play a first-person shooter anytime, anywhere." Charming! Anyway, it sounds a lot like Dodgeball to us. And we know how that worked out in Google's hands.

  • What a crap-ass Google SketchUp video. SketchUp can do so much more than this POS. The guys does not even know how to use "layers" to make a watchable 'fake' animation, let alone set up the camera view transitions properly.

    It's like a 23 cent budget version of "Cloverfield".

  • If this half-baked rumor proves true, then I pity the poor retirees whose pentions have gone to this half-baked idea. Clearly the market's answer to recession is to pour money into this mobile idiocy.
