A general Apple question..

Do you think Apple will ever take an interest in gaming? They have a better computer, and OS and seem better in every way except gaming, which they seem like they could really care less about, but yet it is a huge market.

I think the gaming market is on Apple's "todo" shortlist of world dominance. Gaming on the iPhone is going to be pretty remarkable, I think. It's going to put Apple on the map in regards to mobile gaming.

Yeah but I referring to PC gaming, games like BF 2142 and flight sim stuff like that, not just arcade games.

Not for a while. That's a tough market to crack, and Apple's doing just fine without it for the time being. I think the iPhone will be their foray into gaming.

I don't see how you could game on an i phone as you would need more memory and a faster processor, and the keyboard is not game friendly at all.

it manages NES and SNES pretty well...

Are their any pokemon games that you can download for your iPhone?
-That would be the only game they'd need
