In before Apple BAWWWW. (maybe.)

Non-iPhone folks could also comfort themselves with StepMania; not sure if there's a port of that for WinMobile or not.

I gave this a download, but didn't get into it. I would highly recommend getting the free Labyrinth demo levels.

Tap Tap is nice. It's good to see devs pushing free games with free DLC.

"Non-iPhone owners: Please be more dedicated about trying to get an iPhone."

I dunno, I have an iPhone myself, and my girlfriend just got a red blackberry curve. I've been helping her get it set up, and I can't really see the appeal just yet. Is there something I'm missing here? I can't find that many decent free apps. And the interface is pretty clunky. If she decides to keep the data plan, she's thinking of returning it before 30 days to get an iPhone.

Why should she keep it? What is it that makes the blackberry worth getting over an iPhone?

I think it's a personal preference for smartphone users. I personally love my BB Curve.

I love the OS and GUI on it. I love it's functionality and ease of use (I didn't have any trouble at all). It's reliable, small and sleek...

I don't know..personal preference again. But I would rather spend my money on an iTouch and set it up for voip than actually buy the iPhone and pay for it's exorbitant data plans.

We're both on AT&T, so our plans cost the same. The advantage to the blackberry is if she decides that the data plan is too much $$$, she can drop it and just use the blackberry for texting and calls. The iPhone requires that you have the data plan. Also, the keyboard on the blackberry is easier to get used to then the iPhone's touch keyboard (although I'm very comfortable with it after a month).

I think the iPhone's biggest advantage right now is the huge amount of apps (a lot of free ones) coming out every day, and how easy it is to install and delete them. Maybe I'm missing something though. Do you have any good sites you go to for free blackberry apps? Can you recommend any good apps?

or downgrade to 1.1.4 and jailbreak. This has been available as a free app for jailbroken Iphones and Itouches for a long time. There are Guitar Hero skins as well.

I went out to visit my family shortly after getting an iphone, and my sister and mom are crazy about this game. They downloaded all the tracks and kept stealing my iphone to play it. I didn't get into it so much.

Another cool thing about this is that they're holding a contest for songwriters to have your song featured as a downloadable track in the game. You send your song in, and if it's chosen, they add the gameplay to it. It's a good way to get some exposure, and for them to get some royalty free music to use.

My favorite (free) game is still Aurora Feint. A great Tetris Attack / Planet Puzzle League clone with RPG elements (like Puzzle Quest).

It's OK. If you like rhythm games, you'll probably like it. However, the most addicting game for the platform is Aurora Feint. It is also free and I can't put it down.

fun game for a free one but I personally enjoy games with more depth
The tap tap tap song is my fave

Side note: It would be great to have a dedicated iPhone section on joystiq

That kind of crazy talk can get you shot around these parts.

I thought Tap Tap was pretty 'meh' . . . I also want to chime in on how good Aurora Feint is . . . and ALSO Motion X ($5). I couldn't put it down the first week.

TTR has been out for a very long time (it was out when firmware 1 was out) and this game sucks bad even for a rhytm game, in my opinion.

And for iPod Touch, just custom firmware it and you won't need to pay for 2.0 and it isn't illegal either.

MotionX Poker is by far my pick for best game so far on iPhone. Great graphics, physics (die rolls) and achievements, collecting new dice, and scoring. I highly recommend checking it out.
