iPhone Launch Party: Upcoming Apps, and New Id Game for iPhone

[MacVixen]

I believe they are already competing. Both of my girls (5 and 7) are getting the latest touch as soon as it's released. They wanted DSs until I showed them the touch. Now they want the touch. It works for me because I already have all our Music and Movies in itunes. Were talking a library that is quickly approaching a TB of movies. We have also seen several Disney games released for the touch (including - Pixie Hollow) that my girls can not wait to play. If there was a Hannah Montana game it would be all over but the shouting. (but I haven't seen that one yet)

I'm waiting for Apple to produce the kidsTouch or whatever they want to call it. My son is not even 4 yet and he's become an iPhone pro Don't need a phone, safari, stock aps etc, just a sturdy little touch device that I can download some games, add a few movies and or videos that he can easily access - I'd be all over that!

Speaking of Soundtracks...I think Quake 1 has the best soundtrack of all the ID games...Nine Inch Nails did a great job on that game.

Quake had an awesome soundtrack, mainly because it played whatever CD you put in the drive

Consider Carmack said this just after the announcement of the 3GS:

So what did excite the veteran developer this week? "I'm personally more excited by the $99 iPhone announcement that the 3G S," he said. "I'd be happier seeing them sell 50 million of the base model than pushing the specs up."

I'm pretty sure he's going to be programming all iPhone games to work on the regular iPhone and iPhone 3G, and not take advantage of any special 3GS features. He seems to favor a larger user base than just focusing on the 3GS with more speed and better graphics.

it's nice the iphone has all these cool games,

but im still waiting for Office!

Meh. I've played Office before. The graphics sucked and the levels were really predictable. However, the big Clippy boss battle was enormously satisfying.

Oh dear, Joystiq are reporting that this game is a rail shooter. Definite no buy now.
