Heck, tht's probaly barely half of it. The biggest dealbreaker for game and softwaredevelopers (but particularily game developers) is that your game is visible to the entire world of iPhone users, and there is very little publishing costs, and how someone retrieves the game is fast and sure. It's all about the money =) But of course, one is able to create much more intuitive games now. The deal isn't only what you can do with the iPhone. Heck, tht's probaly barely half of it.

Super Monkey Ball is hardly pushing the performance envelope - as good a game as it is. I'm looking forward to seeing what the iPhone can *really* do gaming wise.

That's pretty big, but I'd actually love to see what a game developer could do without limits. Gee, I didn't know about the 100 MB limit.
