I really want one. Now the 3GS is a proper gaming device. I don't even need a PSP or a DS casue the iphone 3GS puts the DS and the PSP to shame. Wow the iphone 3GS is awesome. I really want one.

If you're concerned about keeping the focus on gaming, why limit yourself to only the models with cellular radios? If the 3G S is 4x as fast as the 3G, how much faster is it than the iPod 2g? 2x? 1.5x? Why are there no 3G S comparisons being made against the previous top-of-the-heap performer, the iPod touch 2g?

I think this should be happening pretty soon. 1M units was much more than I was expecting. I was expecting something around 300k. I wonder what the sales charts of the original 3G compare now that its price has gone down to $99. Just a thought - Perhaps there will be a second era of hardware unification when the iPhone is finally supported by Verizon/etc. At that point, all new iDevices will be ES 2.0 capable which should be enough to flood the 40M existing 1.1 devices.

However, the PSP has much more big-budget developers supporting it. These big-budget games are needed to utilize the hardware of the 3G S to its fullest. However, the iPhone is catching up really quick. Gameloft/Glu/EA/ngmoco will definitely be making games which blow the PSP away in the near future. Hopefully I will too, but it's going to be a challenge for me to do it alone. The hardware of the iPhone 3G S is no doubt more powerful than the PSP.

Unneccesary calculations that can be fixed

The frame rate is terrible. Apple are not microsoft! They won't release (or try not to anyway) something if it doesn't work as well as they would like. Furthermore, they are still going to approve games for the 3G, they are still selling the phone! Toph. That's crap, the 3G cannot do video even half as good as the 3GS! The frame rate is terrible.
