Im not an apple fan, dont own an apple item of any kind and never will I use real computers and portable gaming/music/video devices that are better and have more features(with possible exception of iphone and ipod touch) and cost less, but to say its crap just cause your a sony fan is retarded. and the graphics on iphone games seem to be about equal to psp, so if your calling iphone graphics shit........</p> Hey noob lemme ask you something, what makes you think a huge sellection makes something better? the Wii has quite a few great games, but its so saturated with **** that I sometimes wonder why I even bother with it. same with PS2, think of all the “budget” games that were made on it, the 20 dollar games, the PS2 had many great titles, but it was saturated with **** as well.

If developers actually make some killer games, probably in the $30-$40 price range, then we'll see what the device can do. Better than the PSP? Well considering that device hasn't been all that successful, maybe, but that hasn't been shown yet.</p> There are some great games out there, field runners is one of the best.

Sorry folks. Update: the Bellin Joypod I commented on is 100% false. And I forgot to include that I enjoy music, videos, and podcasts(galore) on my iPhone. Jailbroken phones can play NES, MAME, and Sega Genesis Roms as well as old Doom and Quake FPSs.</p> oops! Sorry folks. Update: the Bellin Joypod I commented on is 100% false.

IMO Verizon has the better service. But for people like me, I got the iphone for the Apps, the elegant mapping and browsing interface. Big fan of music apps. A well designed game is ALWAYS welcome for the iPhone. Belkin has come out with a gaming iPhone "holder" as well.</p> For those who bought the iPhone as a phone: there are 100s of better phones out there. IMO Verizon has the better service.

Well-developed 1st and 3rd party apps, good hardware (including everything from the wifi chipset to the touchscreen), usability, etc: this is what I care about. If I wanted a phone that could work (make/receive calls) almost anywhere, I'd get a Nokia. I wanted a phone that I could work WITH everywhere, so I got an iPhone.</p> The least important part of the iPhone 3G is the “Phone” part.

There's only so much you can do with a touch screen and tilt motion control. Now, don't misread what I'm saying. There are great and fun games on the iphone and there can continue to be.

And I'm pretty sure I've never paid anywhere near $50 or a game on either device (yes, I have both). Tower Defense?...great. Let me know when something like Ridge Racer, God of War, or Super Stardust Portable hit the iphone with decent controls.</p> The iphone will never be able to compete with handheld gaming systems without hardware buttons.
