iPod Touch to Be Next Big Homebrew Gadget

[wraggster]

Apple a few days ago unleashed the Ipod Touch a new version of the iPod which already it seems is capable of running the same files as the homebrew friendly Apple Iphone.

Now for those not familiar the Iphone has already seen a mass of homebrew released for it including Nes Emulators, Frotz, Doom and MAME is being worked on.

With the worldwide popularity of the iPod and this much easier way to get homebrew on it coupled with the Touch Screen we could see a major homebrew scene in the making. Interesting times ahead.

Apple News will have all the latest news as it happens.

It may become the next one but I still prefer a few buttons with my homebrew not 100% touchscreen.

Exactly. This will surely see a few releases, but it will definitely not be the next "big" thing in homebrew. Without at least a proper d-pad, gamers will constantly have to keep readjusting their grip to keep their fingers lined up on the button icons. Additionally, those virtual buttons will occupy precious screen space.

I remember the good old days when men were men, the mp3 players were mp3 players; and phones were where they belonged- properly tethered to the wall.

I hope a Gameboy Color Emulator gets made...it has my favorite games.

I'm getting the 8GB Touch soon, hopefully by then a lot of homebrew is released

well, theres a 16gb version (so it holds more). You might already have a cell phone but still want an mp3 player, its cheaper than the iphone, there is no monthly cost associated with owning it. I guess all the same reasons why you would choose an mp3 player over a regular phone.
