And very happy to stand corrected, though I'm sure some of the iPod release buzz will help

They did ? GREAT ! Must get it !!!
I hated Loom. I remember buying it, getting home and completing it in about 4 hours. Thankfully, I was able to get a refund.
You hated it so much you had to complete it?
Well, they're dedicated gaming platforms - which means the interface is a lot better.
I'm talking about whether that makes the platform great for gaming, which I don't think it does. PARTICULARLY not a phone.
I'll put up once it's done - if I ever manage it. You might be surprised though, except it's not a shallow game.
Why budge when we each believe in our position?
That depends. The iPhone's touch screen is a lot nicer and it has a bigger screen than an NDS. Not every game requires or even benefits from physical buttons and arguably a stylus is less convenient than using your fingers.
Apple is positioning the iPod Touch mainly as a gaming device these days, too. Last night they boasted how it sold more than the PSP and NDS and everything.
The iPod Touch is not a phone. Anyway, maybe we can settle on that it's a great platform for when you're on the road (if you'd actually play games on the road).
(BTW, I've actually just seen the Unreal Engine 3 tech demo Epic Citadel that was just released, on an iPhone 4. It looks amazing and certainly comparable to anything seen on a PS2/Xbox!
I don't hate all non-shallow games, of course! I've taken to lying on the couch with a jRPG click-fests with a deep story, but I've played many of the old classics in my time.
Because it's annoying and I am right!!
By the way, sounds like you'd like the novel Brave New World, which I'm reading at the moment. Everyone conditioned to consume as much as possible!!
But anyway, what's wrong with the ipod touch battery life? It lasts longer than any laptop or netbook I've used.
I use it as one.. *shrugs*But it's not a laptop or a netbook, is it?

You can get a m11x for $200 and have it fit in your pocket? Wow.Do you want to compare games to what I have on my m11x?

What's Crysis like on a trackpad anyway?
Turn-based is always superior, right?
With all that said, I think the iPod Touch looks like a cute gadget to waste some cash on.
What's the competition like? There must be something comparable, right?
