I can't wait.

Apple just turned their phone into a sweet mobile computing/gaming platform. That new SDK has totally changed the game.

Glad I bought it when they slashed it by $200. LOL.

Somehow, I just don't see the iPhone becoming a very major player in the handheld games market.

I don't think thats the real concern they have. Its to make it have a more universal appeal in the phone market.

I know you don't like the phone Marty - but those of us who have them have reason to be pretty excited about this stuff. I think gaming on it will be a lot of fun.

I don't think Apple was ever aiming this new SDK push as making the iPhone a gaming platform.

It's just coincidental that developers are realizing they can make games with this SDK, and good ones too. It's just like a lot of features on your cell phone. They aren't the main part of the device, but the fact that they are there is pretty cool.

I'm looking forward to it at least. Not sure I want to be playing Doom on my iPod Touch though...I could think of better things to play on it.

I doubt they'd port Doom. Maybe Doom RPG. I Expect text based games, RPG's, and other games that don't require much functionality.

DangerMouse - they seem to be able to do a lot more than text gaming on it. They did show EA demonstrating Spore. I would image they would try to do more than text type gaming.

I'm not saying they can't do it, i'm just saying they probably wont.

I don't have a problem with the device itself, NATO. I just have a problem with the way people react to it.

People here sure are quick to judge others, eh?

Marty, I'm not being quick to judge anything - you and I both know that you have made comments about not liking the device in the posts over the last 2 weeks.

I'm not new here either.

Marty, really... You know you insult Apple and its users at almost any given hour. So stop acting innocent and take the hit. No big deal, man, debate is good.

That stopped being funny years ago.

The phrase? Yes, of course. But what hasn't stopped being funny is that it can be used to bait commenters into showing their ignorance of long-known internet memes. See: NATO_Duke

Wow, that was a pretty lame attempt at a troll.

Notice that the announcement was about two companies other than Apple. Apple didn't tell them what to develop--They chose to use the SDK for games.
