It was just a matter of time before someone developed an app for the iPhone to cheat at cards. From the Las Vegas Review-Journal:
"The program calculates the true count and does it significantly more accurately," according to a Gaming Control Board memorandum sent to casino operators last week warning of the electronic device.
