nah PSP beats it

in some parts yes the PSP does beat the Iphone, but in most cases no the Iphone is more robust in hardware.

but its what you do as a developer with that hardware that is what matter's.

just right now it seem's many Iphone developer's are not exploiting the hardware. but that is on them, some may feel its not worth going to that much depth since the Iphone is mainly for mobile telecommunication's and not mainly a dedicated handheld game device. even though the Iphone can handle in depth game's quite nicely, It may have more to do with the Iphone's market than the hardware itself in my opinion.

 

Iphone's hardware isn't specifically built for gaming.All of the GPU and other certain powers can't be utilised for games.and it is a hell lot cheaper.Its production cost is around 90$ in china apart from all the other customs and duty shit

 

ALSO,Iphone's HW is revised every year with few improvements.

i would not be too sure about that if i was you

Microsoft: iPhone GPU support bests the competition

Microsoft has released Seadragon Mobile for the iPhone, Redmond's first iPhone app. Microsoft Live Labs says that the iPhone's GPU capabilities made it the first platform capable of using its Deep Zoom technology.

"The iPhone is the most widely distributed phone with a [graphics processing unit]," Daley told TechFlash's Todd Bishop. "Most phones out today don't have accelerated graphics in them. The iPhone does and so it enabled us to do something that has been previously difficult to do. I couldn't just pick up a Blackberry or a Nokia off the shelf and build Seadragon for it without GPU support."

Though Ballmer stated last year that Microsoft was content to stick with Windows Mobile, it's clear that Apple's "whole widget" approach has garnered significant advantages. Even Microsoft's own engineers seem to think so, as evidenced by a "large number" of them attending a recent Seattle iPhone developer meeting. With Apple positioning the iPhone as an all-purpose computing platform and its graphics capabilities on par with other gaming handhelds, expect to see more pioneering graphics technologies make their way to the iPhone.

so you think MS will praise Sony's HW?,one of its major competitor in its gaming business and anyways MS has a very bad habit of saying that thair products whether SW or HW that its the best.And over that when they are promoting their product over the Iphone,you think they will say its not the best?
