It is not the iTouch, it is the iPod Touch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I find it the most annoying thing ever

 

I actually like the term iTouch because it refers to the platform (iPhone + iPod Touch). Much easier than writing out the models involved.

 

As a side note I think Apple is slowly becoming a darkhorse in the mobile race. They certainly have a long way to go, but they are establishing a nice install base, and online distribution is the future plain and simple.

 

The most interesting thing to me was hearing that Gameloft had sold 2+ million games. Considering they have only a handfull of games on the App Store that is quite amazing and certainly a solid revenue stream. A few months back Sega also made the point that that dollar for dollar this is the platform to develop on. I'm assuming a lot of that has to do with minimzing production costs due to the online distribution.
