Can someone tell me something. Do you have to sign up to AT&T to play an iphone?

No you do not.

There is one thing I hate about other game fanboys..

it's Apple Fanboys.

Don't get me wrong, as an IPhone owner, I do like some of the games on there, (like MGS and Fast and Furious), but to compare IPhone to PSP as a game console is an absolute joke.

Touch screen vs actual buttons? Give me a break

If you are refering to me, I am not an Apple fanboy.

...................and did you check out the link to that game in the OP?

 



iphoner its underclocked to 415mhz to save.

and GPU it's a powervr that the nokia, samsung and sony ericsson user. dream cast chip

all companies have 128 MB DRAM But the iphone OS it's a memory hog, not like the PSP

so i doubt the iphone like all cellphone



That game looks pretty cool. Still don't really want one though, I'm quite happy with my DS and PSP's

The iphone isn't serious at all until they freaking get a better battery. You would have to recharge that thing every 4 hours if you actually tried to game, use the internet, and talk on the phone. Also, while that Top Gun game looks decent the controls look like shit.  The plane goes back and forth a lot even when the person isn't really moving the iphone by much at all.



Hey I read both links...
Carmack didn't actually back up his argument with anything concrete.
The Top Gun game looks very average grapically and tilt/touch controls are not going to win many people over...but the Top Gun name might.
Basically, a lot of hot air at the moment and nothing to get really excited about.



Playing: Borderlands(great co-op,HUGE amount of content),Too Human(better late than never lol),Saints Row 3(Penetrator ftw),Minecraft 360,Harry Potter Lego. 

Patiently waiting for:  Tomb Raider, Borderlands 2

It is a demo according to the article, so maybe the final game will be better.

 



Okay, well granted that it is a demo they will probably improve the rocking back and forth from barely moving it. I just can't imagine a modern day fighter moving like that constantly.


If you are interested in the iphone or ipod touch for gaming you should probably go with the ipod touch since the iphone will suck batteries like no other since you would be using it for a phone also. My cousin has an iphone and it ran out of batteries constantly because he would talk on it decent amount, send texts, surf web, play music/videos sometimes, and game occasionally. It seemed like he needed to charge it at least every 5-6 hours. So it may be best to have a regular cellphone for calls/etc and ipod touch for gaming, music, etc..
