I'm beginning to feel the cold shoulder of app developers. iPod touch users will have far lower specs and all the new games that take advantage of open gl 2.0 will be hardly playable on the ipot.

Emulators aren't illeagal if you own the game(s) and system. I sought many people use them leagal tho. Psx probley still won't run at full speed but some where close. Fast wifi and more ram would be cool too.

There are going to be fixs to make it not jailbreak able for probley 6+ months because some retard wanted to make a quick buck.

Lol cause emulatings not illegal right? Anyways i know the 3gs is great and all but i have verizon so the iPod touch 4g(since its been announced to skip a gen) is what im hyped about. Ive been stuck with a first gen touch and its not been fun missing out on all the new 3.0 features. Anyone have anyother news about it other than the new wifi adapter and RAM?

I can wait till we get some optimized math libraries that take advantage of the neon and really see how much more this phone can handle.

So, this post is about how a newer device with a faster processor is…faster?

Seemed like a lot of text just to tell me that.

LOL You do *not* pay more for the iPod Touch. Where you came up with the reasoning of "we pay more even though you pay for the service monthly!" is beyond me.

technically we pay more for the iTouch than you pay for the iPhone you just have to pay a monthly bill that you got sucked into because you didn't want to carry around a phone and an iTouch so suck it

I know that. But in the game industry "generation" refers not to minor redesigns but "next gen successors" to previously released consoles. In effect, the PS2 Slim redesign of the PS2 is not a new "gen", but a redesign. The PS3 is the new "gen" console successor to PS2.

So it's not a matter of "wrong and irrelevant" but rather "wrong only if one is NOT using the term as used by gamers and within the video game hardware industry". Apple is not using the term in the manner that gamers have, but rather the way that they always have within the mobile media player market.

And I was kidding, btw…so don't get your panties in a bunch
