Earlier this year we told you about rumblings of an immersive new mobile app for fans of Stargate SG-1 (story). Well, the app has come to fruition, and is available for (free) download in the iTunes app store starting today.
“Stargate Command: The App” promises high-quality, 3D graphics in a virtual environment that will let you explore the corridors of the S.G.C. on your iPhone or iPad. Users can also find key items from past SG-1 missions, uncover artwork from the show’s archive, and play Stargate SG-1 trivia.
Developer Arkalis Interactive promises future updates and enhancements to the app, including a series of mini-games. The first will let players drive golf balls through the Stargate (a la “Window of Opportunity”) in the free “Stargate Golf” game.
The app is compatible with the iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPad 2, and the third generation “new iPad,” and requires iOS 4.3 or later.
Check it out now at iTunes, and post your impressions below!
UPDATE: Check out this link for an intriguing look at some of that artwork, including a hint at “the future of Stargate SG-1.” Thanks to VOOK64.

Too bad it`s just available for crappy apple products....
Are you sure, that this was the game you've written about?
It's an other studio, and there was a multiplatform thing they said. But it's not multiplatform.
There seems to be some unseen artwork in the locked room: http://www.vooks.net/forums/index.php?/blog/1/entry-496-stargate-command-mini-hands-on-hints-of-sg1-future/
Nekomajin: Yes, this is the same project reported on in the previous story.
@Darren
Thanks!
lol, I hope it comes out for Android too.
Darren - you should keep an eye on the official Stargate SG-1 facebook page. they said if we got to 1,000,000 likes by yesterday (which we did) then we'd get something cool today. It's probably just a wallpaper or something, but it might be cooler. They are celebrating the 15th anniv
Don't have an iphone. Oh well. I was hoping for something a bit more. (like the SGA and SG1 movies!)
JMB: The cynical side of me wonders, based on the timing, if the promised reward is this app download, which was scheduled for release today regardless. But I hope the hand behind the SG Facebook account proves me wrong.
Well, that wasn't worth months of anticipation leading to this announcement.
need one for android!
