.... but... I... already play more on my iPhone then on my handhelds.... >_>

...I'm just waaay ahead of you guys..

Oh yeah?

And what sorts of games do you play then?

That's my issue. Not enough quality and most games are either dodgy, pointless, boring or short

There are exceptions (Mirror's Edge is fun, Angry Birds of course), but there's no 'big' games like Monster Hunter or Zelda to my knowledge, or real system-sellers.

And that's the thing which is holding back smartphones IMO

I mostly play rpgs like  final fantasy 1 and 2,  crimson gem saga, secret of mana, chaos rings, some smaller krpg like inotia 3, wild frontier, queens crown, zenonia..  which work welll on a touch screen.. it has made me spend more time then any console rpg.. there are some real gems like Real Racing 2 (spend 8 hours singleplayer and already 20 on multiplayer) , NBA jam, NOVA 2, Dead Space, Galaxy on Fire 2, Space Invaders Infinity gene. Plants vs Zombies.. but I think the problem is that the gaming community isn't taking it serious (they don't own a smartphone and are narrow minded) and the lack of advertisments.. it's too hard for them to find a site like Toucharcade and then to find out that Dead Space is a really good game not found on the DS or PSP (even Wii).. or that NBA Jam had a release on it... or that Real Racing 2 has incredible graphics and multiplayer mode which surpasses that of a psp and ds.. I'm just glad that developers are spending more and more on smartphone games.. Gameloft has just licensed the Unreal engine for 4 games.. Capcom is making more and more games for it (well to be fair Devil May Cry 4 is a bit crappy but better then Dead Rising).. Sega announced yesterday Sega All Star Racing.. Square is releasing FF3 (port of DS version) and a port of Final Fantasy Tactics (PSP version) etc etc..

If people would take time to do some research and open up to the idea of a smartphone game they could have a lot of fun... but hey.. it's not my loss..
