JT, try Grand Theft Auto San iPhone. Everything better and you could play it on you iPhone if you get the 8GB and have no contacts, texts, movies, music etc on it.

This doesn’t strike me as earth-shattering news… it just means games like EA’s Sodoku, etc. will work on the iPhone as well as the 5G iPod. You think iPhone owners would be ok with, say, Vortex working on 5G iPods but not on their $600 iPhone?
And btw, anyone who thinks this means we’re going to see console-quality (or even PSP quality) games on a 4-8GB device is smoking something. Take a look at what’s available for the 5G iPod… that’s pretty much it, I’d imagine.
