It's a multimedia platform that some use for gaming. To me, it's more of a music player/on-the-go web browser than it is a gaming device. I still like the games available for my iPod, but it just doesn't compare to my PSP.
"There is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home." Ken Olson 1977 "The telephone has too many shortcomings to be seriously considered as a means of communication." Western Union memo 1878 "While theoretically and technically television may be feasible, commercially and financially it is an impossibility." I forgot who so to tie it in with the topic, I don't think the iPhone has any potential as a gaming device..
To me, it's much more of a gaming device than a music player and I barely touch my DS anymore and have sold my PSP. I love that many of the games on this device are simple pick up and play type games. I have no time for long drawn out games like i did when I was younger. I use it for games first, camera, phone, music player and lastly web browser and other features pretty much in that order. I picked up the phone because when I bought the touch for $299, I figured why not get the iphone instead and am happy I did I am not much of a cell phone guy but it's nice to be able to make a call and text with my gaming device I am having more fun with the games on here than I have had for years.....since SNES days I spend way too much time on TA and love to be able to download new games anytime and have new ones pop up every day.
The iSlate will be the final PS3/PSP/Wii etc. killer....large iPhone...NVIDIA top-class graphics...bluetooth gamepads. All iPhone games are running. iSlate optimized versions of Eliminate/NOVA...awesome!
lol not at all a revolutionary device, with the app store a whole new way to distribute software. games? nope
Yeah. Quite amazing. I can do phone calls with my handheld gaming device. Can you, Mr PSP, or you, Mr DS?
Uh, dunno...? Just wanted to start geoDefense and suddely a voice out of nowhere spoke to me: "Fire and rescue service, hello?"
All i can say is WTF?=) lol this could be the most random thread title i've ever seen! Of course the iphone IS a gaming device already. It has GREAT FPS with fabulous online multiplayer like NOVA, awesome graphics and fluid animations like AVAtar, and it has UE3 coming to it DAMMIT!!))))) lol i could continue this forever. It's like asking: `Is Metallica a potential metal rock band?` btw Metallica FTW!!!
Okay, I checked. It wasn't rigged and there is no gremlin in it. Actually, the 3GS seems to be a potential phoning device, too. P.S.: where do I have to put that transistor labeled: 100mAx3?
