I have a great idea for getting more high quality apps on the store:

Allow Click-Wheel Games to be played on iPhone OS devices with a virtual click wheel as the input. Click Wheel game's logos could have a small click wheel on the corner to show what it is.

What do you think? It would be great for people switching from nanos/classics to iphone/touch :)

I had a thought: Virtual iPod Classic on your iPhone/iPod Touch. It would play all of your songs and videos, yet still have the classic feel.

Yeah, I was thinking of that also - I would be glad to pay lots of money for that, but unless Apple does it is against the SDK regulations.

I like that idea, however a big part of the click wheel was the tactile feel. Something the current iPod Touch or iPhone models do not have.

Yeah, it would sure be nice to be able to play those games on your iPhone...

Yeah definitely, I'd think that a nice break game that was on my first gen nano would be cool
