We are the developers of iSamurai, and in many months of testing, we haven't damaged any devices. However, I do recommend a good case to provide a better grip. Also people should stand back 8 feet or more from each other to avoid colliding hitting their iPhones together. New Video Contest To celebrate the release of our new Bluetooth version which allows two people to sword fight anywhere without finding a Wi-Fi network, we have just introduced an iSamurai Bluetooth video competition. Shoot a video of two people sword fighting and send us a link to enter the contest. First Prize (1 winner): iPod Touch, 2nd Prize (1 winner): $50 iTunes Gift Certificate, 3rd Prize (8 winners): $10 iTunes Gift Certificate. Tips for Getting a Good Connection With Apple's new iPhone software 3.0, we have found that the two-player game works better over Bluetooth when the Wi-Fi on both devices is turned off. And iSamurai works better over Wi-Fi with Bluetooth turned off on both devices. In fact, the above fix should help other multiplayer iPhone games until an update to iPhone OS 3.0 comes out. :-) Doug Hogg Toy Kite Software Hi,
