Not yet.

I'm not sure why you say the iPod Touch is expensive. It's only 10% more expensive than the DSi and it's 20% cheaper than the PSP Go.

DS>Ipod/Iphone also in the sales! I hate Apple when it said Iphone is an handheld, it's not, it's a phone!

To me it is also a handheld. I have about 60 games on my Iphone and I play them regurarly.

The cool feature of this handheld is, that it is a minicomputer with almsot the same capabilities as a Mac.

the bad feature is, most of the games suck

The majority of the games are more fun than DS/PSP games

a) So you've played a vast majority of each handheld's library? (required to make such a statement).

b)It's subjective. I don't like my games mindless and timewasting. Other people are all for that.

iPhone 3GS o.o

11:55 am Also -- a digital compass.
11:55 am You can also ask "what's playing now?" and it will tell you. Or say "play more songs like this" and a genius playlist will be built.
11:54 am With the iPhone 3GS, you hold down the home button for a second and a voice control interface is brought up. Simply say things like "Call Scott Forstall" -- if there are more than one entries, it will ask which one you wanted (i.e. home, office, etc) -- or "play The Killers"
11:53 am There is an API for video too, which allows developers to integrate video capture into their apps. Next -- voice control.
11:52 am The videos live alongside photos in the same application. You can scrub a video and edit it too. You can share the video right from your iPhone 3GS to YouTube, MobileMe, MMS, and email.
11:51 am The camera application has a switch that lets you swap between still photo and video mode. 30FPS, VGA with audio, auto-focus, auto-white balance, auto-exposure.
11:50 am Developers can take advantage of the camera too. But the best thing is -- it also captures video.
11:50 am Also features tap-to-focus. Tap on the part of the photo you want to focus, and it automatically does so. Automatically handles exposure and white balance. Better low-light sensitivity as well. Also, auto-macro -- as close as 10cm away.
11:49 am Vastly more pictures on Flickr from iPhones than any other phone. Now featuers 3MP auto-focus camera.
11:48 am Also has amazing features -- brand new camera.
11:48 am Supports OpenGL|ES 2.0 -- great for games. Supports 7.2Mbps HSPDA.
11:47 am 2.1x faster to launch Messages, 2.4x to load SimCity, 3.6x faster to load an Excel attachment, 2.9x faster to load a large website.
11:47 am No front-facing video camera. The insides are entirely new, but the outside appears the same.

I'm hoping the OLED display and improved battery life rumours are true. I think I'm finally ready to board the iPhone train.

Man, I wish Apple would ditch AT&T already and go with Sprint or Verizon.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

I've heard that Apple's contract with AT&T was a five-year deal. So you might have to wait three more years.

I think tying itself to specific providers was a good move by Apple for breaking into the phone market, but now it's holding back adoption of the iPhone, and I think Apple knows that. If they can buy out the contract early, they might try to break free and spread their wings.
