...the battery while gaming last less than Sega Game Gear.

I took it camping this saturday and it was dead within an hour of playing super monkey ball.

Future of portable gaming? Not quite yet...

I think I will wait for the HD Zune

My cousin used to play more than that with his iTouch... maybe it wasnt fully charged

No that's why i have a psp and a ds.
The I phone wasn't meant for gaming at all.
Sorry for your bad experience.

That will anihilate the Ipod for battery life thanks to the Tegra chip. But will it get the gaming support Ipod is getting? Looks doubtful.

When MS announce Zune-Xbox lvie connectivity, I was hoping MS would allow gaming downloads off xbox live to work on Zune HD but its only movies by the look of things.

ouch less then an hour? that sucks

I don't know. I had a 16 gig 2nd gen Ipod touch with me (not iphone) and I just turned it on after charging it fully and played and in 45 mins or so I got the battery warning.

I'm sure if I fiddled with it, set the screen to lowest brightness, turn off the sound...I'd prolly get little better battery life. I jsut wanted to play for an hour or 2 so I didn't think I had to worry.

Well, he had the same iTouch (2nd gen, 16 gigs) and he used to play way more than that.

I don't really know. I have a 32 gig. But i don't have a single game on it. I buy specific things, for specific purposes. I have my DSi and Psp for gaming. My iTouch... strictly music

Anyone thinking of buying Ipod Touch for gaming should know that... they are completely stupid and needs to get there heads checked

lol...I think you are wrong though. There is a lot of hype around Ipod Touch and everything. People are not geeks like us...they don't know these things. They get duped...
