Sony to Launch an App for iPad and iPhone as Complement PS4 (PlayStation 4)

An app will allow iPad and iPhone use as controls in PS4

It is increasingly common to see different devices integrate or complement each other.Perhaps one of the clearest examples we have in iOS in the car, although this feature is not yet a reality, promises much and sure in a few months we see actual technology integrations.

Now it's Sony has announced that they will offer an app for iOS and Android compatible devices will be able to "communicate" with the PlayStation 4, its new console to hit store shelves in no time.

This app is a perfect complement to the PlayStation 4 and the role seems to be a very useful application for all console users, especially if that game developers like the idea and make their games compatible with the app.

With it, owners of iPad, iPhone or iPod touch can install the app on their iDevices and use them to supplement the ways to interact with the usual console. Thanks to the app will be possible to use the iOS (or Android) as a command for certain games or even as an additional screen.

The app provides access to PlayStation Network and PlayStation Store

Of course it is also possible to use the app to access the Playstation Network. With it will be possible to write to the chat in a much more comfortable, send and accept invitations to games, see news, see the trophies we have, access PlayStatin Store or just see what games friends are playing we have added in our account. Course will also feature integration with Twitter and Facebook, the popular social networking right now.

The PlayStation 4 will arrive in North America on November 15 and a little later, on November 29 in Europe will, as noted from Polygon . These dates will also be available the new app for iOS and Android and will have to wait to the first games adapted this technology to take full advantage.

It's great to see as a manufacturer of top-line consoles do not forget mobile devices. They are increasingly present and consoles, smartphones and tablets can coexist perfectly and integrated to provide more and better features to users. This is a great example of this and if Sony have done a good job with the app and the developers decide to make their games compatible with this app will be a great step forward.

Are you planning to buy the new Sony PS4? What do you think the existence of this app?
