Fanta is Strangely Silent

Fanta has just announced the launch of a new mobile game (via New Media Age), which sounds quite groovy, but with an important dash of pure genius.
The basic game is virtual tennis, played via Bluetooth and consumers can print out a real court from the Fanta website. That’s the groovy part – appealing to to [...]
