oh and the app for wiimote is free, I can look it up later. The trial vesions of emulators are free, the full versions aren't expensive, but there is a way to get those free. iPhones are cool, if you like burning your money on shit u can get for free.

But then again, you cant run emulators on iphone without Jailbreaking it.

I was actually wondering if I had to root my Samsung Galaxy S if I wanted to play emulators on it. Should have known better, I guess. hehe. How do you get the emus for free?

So how is the Galaxy Tab? I'm still not sold on the whole tablet thing, but it's nice to see some decent competition.

You should try usimg a wiimote as a controller for Droid. Kicks ass

  You can do that?!  Hmm... so now I'll be toting my phone, an ipod and wiimote around..

hahaha. Yeah, not exactly portable, but still kinda cool.

All he needs to make the wii mote more portable is something to stash the wii mote in.... something like this here:

I have NESoid on my phone, the first Moto Droid, and I can't stand to use it.  Even with the physical keyboard, the thing that resembles a d-pad is on the right, so it sucks.

I guess everyone else is Darwin adapting, and I'm ready to get clubbed over the head.  To me, iphone still sucks.

True.

True.

You can adapt, but it doesn't change the fact that touch screen controls for platformers and shooters is a very poor replacement for physical buttons. Sure, for games like Angry Birds (strangely addicting heh) or games that utilize the accelerometer the experience is OK (sometimes), but for games where you need precise controls multi-touch multi-sucks. This is all my opinion, of course. Though, anyone claiming that touch screen controls on their Android, iPhone, or WP7 are just as good or better than an actual controller (unless we're talking about the Atari 5200 controllers) are only fooling themselves. For casual gamers that like playing Plants vs. Zombies on Facebook, I'm sure multi-touch does the job, but for games like Ghosts 'n Goblins and R-type? Forget about it.

This article seems to articulate why gaming on the iPhone is just a casual affair:
