The iPhone/iPod Touch wasn't created to make money off software licences, it was made to cover it's cost at purchase, not to mention the money they're getting away from AT&T, O2 and the others who hold iPhone service exclusivity around the world... It's viable for them to make their platform more attractive by opening up the platform to developers.]]>Apr 5th 2008 6:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/05/quake-3-hits-the-ipod-touch-makes-for-portable-lan-party/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/05/quake-3-hits-the-ipod-touch-makes-for-portable-lan-party/

Now if they could only build in a way to jump or is it "skip?" Perhaps the left pane of the screen could be for jumping and the right for firing. So your left thumb could activate jump by touching the screen, while your right thumb fires. I wonder how difficult it will be to implement that kind of interaction.]]>Apr 5th 2008 5:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/05/quake-3-hits-the-ipod-touch-makes-for-portable-lan-party/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/05/quake-3-hits-the-ipod-touch-makes-for-portable-lan-party/Apr 5th 2008 5:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/05/quake-3-hits-the-ipod-touch-makes-for-portable-lan-party/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/05/quake-3-hits-the-ipod-touch-makes-for-portable-lan-party/

Well, to answer your question, there are already companies making battery packs for the iPhone. I'm surprised Griffin hasn't made one. A company called Mophie released a battery sleeve for the iPhone a few months ago. http://www.mophie.com/products/juice-pack/?pod=iPhone]]>Apr 5th 2008 6:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/05/quake-3-hits-the-ipod-touch-makes-for-portable-lan-party/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/05/quake-3-hits-the-ipod-touch-makes-for-portable-lan-party/Half-Life uses a modified "id Tech 1"-engine aka.

You just check out this article and you'll see exactly how lucrative the iPod Touch/iPhone gaming platform can be. Running far better hardware than either the Nintendo DS and Sony PSP, the iPod Touch/iPhone can dominate if games are developed for it. I don't know how many of users are playing games on this platform now, but the iPhone does have at least 4 million devices out there. With movies, music, corporate usage and games, iPhones sales should just explode once SDK games are released. There should be no problem selling 11 or 12 million iPhones this year.

My only worry, as you mentioned, how will the puny battery manage to take the stress. When my PSP runs low on juice I can just pop in another battery. iPhone users won't be so fortunate.]]>Apr 5th 2008 6:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/05/quake-3-hits-the-ipod-touch-makes-for-portable-lan-party/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/05/quake-3-hits-the-ipod-touch-makes-for-portable-lan-party/
