The Mixed Outlook for iPhone Gaming

Posted by Zonk on Friday January 12, 2007 @09:56AM from the a-lot-of-talk-little-content dept.

With everyone talking about Apple's big announcement, it's unsurprising that commentators are discussing the possibilities of gaming on the iPhone. The DS and the PSP are both on N'Gai Croal's list of who is afraid of the iPhone, and with good reason. Touchscreen gaming on a high-resolution screen? Sounds like fun. TIME's lengthy run-down on the iPhone even mentions the possibilities of games on the small screen. Just the same, it's not all roses: Kotaku talks about the developer unfriendly nature of the platform, and how that could throw up barriers to the first game on the handheld.

DS off by $70 by tepples · 2007-01-12 16:17 · Score: 0, Offtopic

A decent phone (free w/contract), camera ($100) and DS ($130) will do each job better than the iPhone.
The $130 Nintendo DS will not run third-party apps or games, nor will it play movies or music. You need to add the $70 SuperCard/SuperKey kit for those features.
