An official Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy iOS app
Don’t panic! An official Hitchhiker’s Guide app is finally coming out for the iPad, iPhone and iPod touch, with the full blessing of the Adams estate. It gets better: the app will be narrated by the original Arthur Dent himself: Simon Jones.
According to WIRED, the app will be a guide to things in the books, like the Babel Fish or the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal. Expect it to be interactive, but not exactly a game. Instead, it will be as close to the real thing as possible: a portable guide to everything and anything in Adams’ universe.
There’s no release date just yet, but you can watch the official website. In the meantime, check out more screenshots and WIRED’s podcast interview with Simon Jones and grab Louie Mantia’s “Don’t Panic” wallpaper or iPad and iPhone.
