Maybe they just want to use their phone for, oh I dunno . . phoning people?

I think the "first one's free" business model is BS made up by the anti-drug propaganda machine along with the "you're hooked on the first rock" and, "crack will kill you the first time you smoke it" BS.<br><br>Back on topic, I tried to do the whole "games on a phone" thing and it's miserable. Certain games work on a mobile phone but nothing action-oriented. I'm a fan of converging devices but the only way to get a phone that plays games requires a dedicated add-on like the Freedom Input gamepad which is LARGER than most phones and only works on Symbian/Windows Mobile or something like the nGage which everyone hated.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jjeff]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 22nd 2006 2:16PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on CE-Oh no he didn't!

You use a phone in one hand, you game with one hand. That way, they're both easy to play on the platform, and easy to understand for people who don't game at all, or only very casually. <br><br><br>See:  Tower Blox, Bejeweled, Mini Monkey Ball, etc. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[odell]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 22nd 2006 2:26PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on CE-Oh no he didn't!

The smaller dealers do it all the time. I know because my brother got into drugs that way. I don't blame the model, of course, just him.<br><br>What's wrong about this is the fact that the CEO compared it like his product is even remotely mind-altering like drugs and that people will get addicted. I'll stay away from that company. I only play puzzle games on the phone at places like a doctor's appointment or in the line at Best Buy waiting for the day-after-Thanksgiving sales to start.<br><br>LOL, detroitianni. That was a good one.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[AbbydonKrafts]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 22nd 2006 2:51PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on CE-Oh no he didn't!

While there are other ways he could have made his point, you probably wouldn't have remembered it if he worded it some other way.<br><br>It's true that games can be as addictive as a drug, (I've been there...with games, I mean, not drugs) but playing a game on a tiny cellphone is a whole other matter. Beware repetitive strain injuries!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Donna Knight]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 5th 2006 1:23AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
