I understand that, but you also gotta keep in mind the PSP came out 6 years before the iPhone 4.
I wanna see more of the 3DS before I make any judgements on it.

So you understand that the psp is inferior technology, bottom line.
Hence the reason why handheld iphone games can look better than psp games.
You suck at debating dude.

You're talking about graphics. I was talking about gameplay. Gameplay on PSP > gameplay on the iPhone. That was what I've been talking about the entire time until we got into the whole DS vs PSP debate.

The gameplay of the games are not as in-depth as most PSP games yet but they will be. People originally didn't think people would want to watch full movies on smaller mobile devices but look what has happen. People have this notion that cell phone games are supposed to be short time killers but they were only short time killers because of the limitation of technology.

^^^^Usain knows what he's talking about... The gameplay of the Android/iPhone games is evolving at a rapid rate. At first I could never imagine playing a first person shooter without physical inputs...but now I'm used to it and it's second nature.
It used to be the same way with PC versus consoles...PC gamers would say that console FPS would never take off because true FPS is played with mouse and keyboard...not a controller. I'll admit that playing with a controller was awkward at first...fast forward to now consoles dominate the FPS market. Things change...stuff evolves...mobile gaming on cell phone platforms is gaining momentum...the "dinosaurs" like Sony and Nintendo need to evolve or be left behind.
Sony could have definitely released a better spec'd PSP...but they got lazy and just rehashed the same one released back in 2004...now looking back that may have cost them.

so far, after reading and making comparisons.
i just might stay put. im just gonna wait till i hear more feedback when the phone drops. real talk, both phones are the same except one has one or two extra features and both are behind tech wise. its better to wait for the new iphone whenever it drops

At first I was going to disagree with this but upon second thought, you might really be on to something. I'm blown away by the graphics on some of these mobile phone games (Need for Speed, NOVA, etc..) . Throw in accelerometer, gyroscope, and fairly solid on-screen controls and you have a great gaming experience. As children become more included in the target demographic, mobile gaming might really contend with portable gaming systems. The distribution and parental controls logistics would need to get worked out but that's not a big task. Also battery consumption is a big thing and I dont see too many people around me carrying extra batteries (I keep an extra in my wallet).
In time, the PSP and DS could have the same fate as the GPS in the future. It's going to be something interesting to keep track of.

I'm not sure where the notion of the iOS is behind "tech wise" is coming from. I don't expect the next iPhone or next reiteration of the iOS (5.0) to require anything more than what the iPhone 4 currently has. When the 4 came out and 4.0 was released iOS 4.0 still ran pretty smoothly on the 3gs. I don't think fragmentation issues will come up unless you are 2 product cycles behind like what is being seen of the 3G. I honestly don't know what to expect specs wise from the iPhone 5 but I don't see that much of a jump from the iOS 4 which I would say was a big jump from the 3Gs.
Personal predictions from me though on the topic of the release of the 5 is on AT&T I think late July. On verizon probably right before christmas but I could see them waiting a complete year. I think verizon will alter their upgrade policy to compete with at&ts policly which does allow you to upgrade every year (I read verizon was getting rid of mid contract upgrades)

Everything is already in place my dude for ios. There are already parental controls built into iTunes that have been working so far for movies. Battery wise all iOS product (outside of the 3G) have had really good battery life. The biggest concern about this is the fact that it is digital distribution. Currently there is a 20 meg limit of what you can download over 3G and most of the big name games are well over the limit (I think rage is around a gig). I know AT&T and verizon will not want people to be downloading these large files on their network so apple is going to need to come up with a compression method to shrink these games downs. MS came out something similar to what apple will need before the 360 launch to deal with the size difference between bluray and the aging DVD format. It's called Procedural Synthesis.Here is an article about it:http://i.joystiq.com/2006...mings-fountain-of-youth/

What exactly do you have an issue with? I'm open to constructive criticism.

does anyone think Verizon will get a 4G version of an iPhone?!?!?!
