I appreciate being "rah rah" for the PPC but this post can't be serious. If I wasn't a WMO user myself and an avid PPGgeek, I'd have trouble taking this forum seriously.
Generalizations like this are simple ridiculous. I know it's hard for some PPCgeeks to realize this but the iphone is actually a good device that is actually useful for stuff besides entertainment. I just don't understand why PPCgeeks alsways have something against the iphone and can't admit it's actually a cool device. YES there are differences but it's not simply aimed at "hipsters who only want to be entertained."
But keeping on the thread topic, I definitely have iphone-game envy. All those previous posts of WMO games is nice but in reality it does pale in comparison.... It's really all about user base and distribution.
The iphone has a huge user base and a "model" distribution base (the Apple APP store) for developers. Of course there are other factors but that is just really the reality of it.

I know this is off thread topic but I had to put my 2 cents in as well. I have an iphone. I cancelled my contract because i was tired of paying for unlimited data that was not 3 g and only 450 minutes for almost what i would be paying for my sprint unlimited plan. that being said, my jailbroken iphone could do it all. I could even hack access points with aircrack. I mean seriously... Minus the phone as modem capability the Iphone was probably a better device. that being said however, I love my diamond. The smaller form factor and phone as a modem, and NOT having to deal with itunes were my 3 selling points. Now with the possibility of android being loaded on the diamond I might even be able to hack access points again
who knows. True the diamond doesnt feel as "smooth" but with JuggaloX Rom and Verizon radio flash it works alot better for me. Very Rarely does it lag. And anyway...who needs games when you have ppc geeks to keep you entertained??!
