And finally, I really hope iPhone never gets too much popularity among 'real' gamers (you know what I mean, don't say anything about it). It's overpriced and uses digital distribution only; it's bad for the customer, even if the customer likes it.

Uhhh... what? I think if the customer is satisfied the company has done their job. And I can't imagine how much the App Store would suck if I actually had to drive to a Best Buy or Apple Store to buy apps. That would totally moronic on Apple's part. Heck I wish all the consoles would let me download their games for a fee and burn them- never gonna happen but I wish it would.

I got my iPhone cheaper than the touch I was looking at. Payed $100 which to me seems pretty affordable compared to crap like the Instinct or whatever the knockoff of the week is. The G1 is sexy though- but expensive. ANybody who buys an iPhone at MSRP is either in a hurry or a fool.
