Just bumping this thread to ask if anyone know anything new about the status of the development of mentioned 'tour de force'? Google isn't showing much so I doubt there is any news.

Wow, looking back at those comments from only a few months ago is interesting, how wrong most of them turned out to be.

Three hundred million downloads, that's two million downloads a day averaged out over every day since the App store opened, how many are games?

Take a look at the quality of the titles being released now.

"There is still one thing I don’t understand. I keep hearing people say that the games for WinMo and BlackBerry handsets are better than the games on the iPhone. Anyone agree with this being true?"

I've not heard this personally, but it could be because the iPhone "platform" is so young and game developers haven't had time (yet) to develop "flagship" titles yet.

"What about the comparison to a Nintendo DS. Are the quality of games on the DS better than what’s on the iPhone currently?"

Yes, *much* better. iPhone has a *very* long way to go before anyone can even begin to make any sort of comparison to the Nintendo DS (or even PSP).

A lot of MS people are going to be insulted by this guy saying that an iPhone is on par with the power of an XBox.
