Quake 3 Arena ported to iPhone/iPod Touch
Advertisements have shown us that the iPhone is a tool with a wide array of functions -- YouTube perusing, calamari ordering, and astronaut deafening, to name a few. But no commercials have warned of the iPhone's (and the iPod Touch's) sinister, newly implemented abilities -- fragging, railgunning, and gibbing. We speak, of course, of the handheld's recently developed Quake 3 Arena application, which uses the device's touch screen and accelerometer to crudely recreate that warm, familiar mouse-and-keyboard feeling. Just thinking of the possible on-the-go LAN parties we'd be able to hold is making us consider finally trading in our Zack Morris phonebrick for Apple's sexy cellular device.

sry, it just struck me as odd, like why the guy that did this.....did this...
The former is used by Luke Skywalker.
*wait's for the corrections for this post*
Besides all that, this is still pointless. Quake 3 on ANY phone would be unplayable. Someone should have told Nokia that.
Bet he still swears by his Creative Jukebox LOL
Bet he still swears by his Apple TV LOL
Just trying to lighten up the mood in here a bit, nothing more. I'm neutral on the subject.
Oh wait!
But if you take a troll seriously then sheesh! Hope you don't cry yourself to sleep!
I don't care if the iPhone is not _the best_ phone on the market, the fact that you have people like Poisoned Al running around spouting off about crap he doesn't know about and refuses to look into because it has a certain logo on it is just as stupid as these stupid trolls going "LOL WII SPORTS MACHINE" and "HAHA 6 PEOPLE USE PSN"
Seriously, style over substance, are you that dense? The iPhone OS is NOT a horrible interface (in fact going through pages of clicks and left button menus could be considered equally crap). I concede the point about 2G, as well as other miscellanea like stereo bluetooth, of course this is Apple's first phone so we'll see about that.
But the iPhone can call, text, sync calendar/contacts, play music, video --actually everything an iPod can do--, go online, check youtube, mail, maps, weather, stocks more conveniently than a webpage, download music online, take notes, email those notes to yourself, browse the itunes store, take pictures, email pictures, etc. that's not counting jailbreaking (which is pretty effortless these days) and the upcoming sdk, which will improve its usefulness many times over. if the thing looks like some ugly kyocera phone that would still be appealing.
and i can turn around and evangelize over a nokia pohne, or some winmo htc phone, but that's not the point.
the point is YOU ARE A TROLL and a troll is someone who seems to have a personal vendetta against a company... why do you hate apple so much? you should embrace the iphone, look what it's done for competition... you've got phones now like voyager, and htc touch, and upcoming ones like the samsung instinct and the verizon lg vx9700... these carriers and manufacturers would not have cared enough to make them had it not been for what apple made.
tl;dr: so if you have nothing good to say don't post.

But really now. Why do we never hear well reasoned critique on the iPhone? More often than not it's just some stark raving mad balloon going having a little sob.
Apple's first ever mobile phone and look at how well it did in the US (not here since Europe has much better data options than Edge). Feature wise it's only missing a couple of features which can be added via software updates. And hurry up 32gb. Soon as thats out I'll be ditching my 80gb iPod so hard it'll make the anti-Apple crowds head spin all over their Creative Zens.
Sleepy time now.
zzzz
OOC: How important is processor speed for laptops? The best deal on a laptop I can find (more RAM, more HDD Space, more included software that i actually want), but it has the worst CPU clock out of all of 'em, 1.6 Ghz compared to 1.7 and 2.1 for the same price, but nobody else is offering 2 GB of RAM, they're all after 1 each
