iPhone to Rival Nintendo DS, Sony PSP

[Stone Temple Pilots]

iPhone can't compete with what it wasn't designed for. Stick with music and videos, Apple. Leave the games to the big boys.

[dangee]

much depends on the quality of the battery system.
A higher spec may have a trade-off in
higher power consumption/shorter charge cycles.

Theres already a few very powerful and expensive handheld PCs ,
but (like laptops) they're only usable on-the-go for 1-2 hrs
before they run outta juice, unlike, say, the GBA that goes forever on a pair of AAs.

No tactile pad = no chance of success for gaming, end of story.

The iPhone will send the PSP homebrew scene to the cementery

[bah]

JKKDARK: I assume you're just playing devil's advocate...?

I think he/she is right, in terms of applications. Since apple released the SDK and all, the scene would have more supporters. Apple seems to go a lot easier on homebrew also. A phone can depend on home made applications. However, a gaming system cannot.
