Official iPhone Games in the Works?
NYPost.com writes what appears to be a mostly speculative piece about the possibility of games in the Apple iPhone.
Not much new information is provided, but in the past, there had been reports that Apple was courting game developers for the iPhone.
Specifically, Electronic Arts' mobile division had been quoted as saying that they had been talking to Apple about games on the iPhone. Electronic Arts would be a natural fit as they are already amongst the few developers who have been releasing new games for the iPod.
Meanwhile, independent development efforts continue on the iPhone with unofficial applications popping up daily. An NES emulator and non-playable port of Doom have been released for the iPhone. Due to the procedure required to install these applications onto your iPhone, these applications remain available only to interested hobbyists rather than the general public.

Its about time, the whole fuctionality is there. The gaming possibilities are so open. I dont know how easy it will be though, on the camera app I always accidentally press the camera button until i found i could hold it, then it takes when you release.

I'll never understand the philosophy of allowing only certain companies to develop games for these 'i' devices.

More control. Just like how only certain companies can make games for consoles.

I really hope this is true. I'm dying to have some new fully supported functionality for my iPhone! It's very exciting to see how people's individual efforts for hacking have been going, but for me it really comes down to what is supported.
I would only consider doing a hack to the iPhone if someday I could get my TomTom Bluetooth GPS receiver to work with google maps (wishful thinking, I know). Then, and only then, would I be willing to give up syncing with iTunes.

It seems like a forgone conclusion that there will, eventually, be games for the iPhone. Apple is a smart company... they will make sure the games are good, stable, and profitable. I imagine the same thing is true with ringtones.
I predict a fall release when OS 1.1 is released (purely wild speculation).

Allowing anyone to write apps for the Apple, Mac, PC, etc, is what made them what they are today.
But, I suppose you all agree with that.

I've been playing the iPhone Duck Hunt
It's very cool and requires that you just visit the URL:

I think it's even fun to play on the mac using the mouse
