I also have no handheld since the gameboy and I dont want one. And I also have always my Iphone with me. And I also played games on it to kill some time infact i have a lot games for it.
Still the point stands actually playing with the Iphone is just good in some rare cases imo. I dont understand why Apple cant focus more on the controls and they would be a real DS and PSP competitor no matter what everyone else says gaming with the Iphone is in most cases not fun some games can be made in a good way but there are a lot of genres which require buttons and especially all Emulators need buttons. at the moment its just more like: Look what I have on my Iphone but its not about the gaming itself Apple should do something about it and I would actually use my Iphone for gaming.
I understand what the appeal of Iphone games is but I dont understand why Apple wont improve the gaming abilites of their Iphone and be a real alternative to PSP and DS.
I wouldnt buy a PSP or DS but I have always my Iphone with me (lately not so much). I just want a mix out of those devices so portable gaming would actually play a role for me.

Probably because it is meant to be a phone first, gaming machine second (or third, or fourth etc). Adding buttons/joysticks would make it look less fashionable and also more difficult to carry out. As it is right now, it is nice and small and doesn't have joysticks etc sticking out of it.
Apple are probably more interested in conquering the market they have just entered, than entering one they have no experience in (that's not to say they won't go for it eventually). Also, Apple is probably more than happy selling app-like games to people, as long as they are being bought.
