Kindle Scrabble from Electronic Arts Inc was released today. Thanks to Golf11 for the tip via his Twitter account today.Apparently, this is the first commercial Kindle app made available, and so far it has three ratings of 5 stars each.
Electronic Arts set the price at $4.99. Their product description includes: Simple controls make it easy to play any way you want, whether you're a casual or experienced SCRABBLE player. Pass N' Play with a friend, challenge the Kindle, or play a solo game. If you need help, use the Best Word feature to create the highest scoring word possible. You can even pause the game anytime and pick it up later.
They provide "instant statistics tracking" and offer it as a way to sharpen your vocabulary in a new way that should be fun.
If it's anything like the free Every Word or Shuffled Row it could be somewhat addictive.
So far, review headings are "Seamless, Fast, Perfect" -- "Definitely worth the price" -- and "Very fun"...
UPDATE - Note that you can play against someone else by passing the Kindle back and forth.
Also, this word game is available for Kindle 2 and all Kindle DX's as well as the Kindle 3's. Kindle 1's are unable to access the screen directly due to the slower screen used in 2007.
Currently, Amazon has not yet made this available globally, though they've
stated that they intend to have all games available world-wide eventually.
