Magic Cube - something for the weekend, sir?
Published by Steve Litchfield at 6:20 UTC, September 14th 2007
Ewan's something of a wiz on the old Rubik's cube, making him a natural for reviewing Magic Cube on his Nokia N95. It's Java-based though, so should run on just about any other smartphone. With a neat keypad-based interface, Magic Cube gets the thumbs up."
Little known fact, but I can actually solve a Rubik’s Cube. It takes about five minutes (none of this freak-boy 20 seconds of speed), so when Steve pointed out Magic Cube – a Java based version of the cube for smartphones – and suggested I take a look at it. I approached it rather gingerly, mainly because of my familiarity with the physical cube, but partly because whenever I’ve tried an electronic version of the cube, the game just came up short."

It looks really nice but I could never do the real life cubes, a virtual one would probably be even more difficult.
And you can't peel the stickers off a virtual cube...

I was hoping it would be like the sudoku solver, maybe with use of the camera to take pictures of all sides, and telling you the moves to solve it.
Ah well.
