Why are they trying to develop for a device that isn't meant for gaming?

All I can see happening is a gimmicky touch interface the ends up cluttered with attempts at buttons. Why don't you develop for a real portable gaming machine, like the PSP.

wow I could not agree more...sure the iphone has great multimedia(including games). but spending resources to make a game for the iphone....failure.

There is a market for iPhone games, a huge one. If the Quake 3 game could be ported with online multiplayer i think it would be a huge hit. the 1st decent shooter in the iphone with online capabilities. I'm pretty sure that 3G could handle online gaming

You obviously have never gamed on the iPhone.. Granted certain games dont lend itself to the platform as graciously as others, but gaming on teh iPhone is fun. The only games I have bought so far though are Asphalt 4 and Star Wars: Force Unleashed, but if they released Wolfenstein or Quake, I might fork out some cash for that..

I'm not sure I'm willing to spend $10million to a game!
