Multiasking may have been the biggest announcement Apple made about iPhone 4.0 but the company also detailed something else called GameCenter. GameCenter is a social gaming platform for the iPhone that's a little similar to Xbox Live and PSN.
GameCenter contains a set of APIs that allows developers to create apps that incorporate certain social capabilities, like the ability to invite friends to play a game, start a multiplayer game through matchmaking and track achievements and compare high scores on a leader board.
There are thousands of iPhone gaming apps so we're betting a little network where people can get together and play against each other as well as keep track of each other's high scores is going to be scarily popular.
