screw iphone! If your smart enough to root your phone and use app2sd then the android becomes powerful! We can run any game just like the iphone its just a matter of developers creating emulators… stfu

Untrue. Do you think Gameloft or other developers will make 50mb or 100mb games if only the 10% of users who are 1337 enough to root their devices can buy and install more than a few of them at once? :/

PS: I’m a HUGE Android fanboy and proud Motorola Droid owner, but I’m willing to admit when the iPhone is better than android at *certain things*

twilightwolf90 is correct – there is not even a decent NDS emulator for a PC. Chances of developing a usable NDS emulator for Android using Java are zero.

@ spencer – G1 will never compete with the iPhone for mobile gaming. iPhone has 40Mb of RAM available for games and can load 24Mb of textures to the GPU. G1 caps applications at 16Mb of RAM and approximately 8Mb of textures on the GPU. This G1 RAM limit is largely a result of the decision to allow apps to run in the background – it means you have to share the RAM among more processes whereas a game on the iPhone gets lots more RAM because it is the only process. Basically the single process model of the iPhone is much better for games.

Add to that the pathetic amount of app storage on a G1 means games developers will scrimp on graphic and audio assets meaning games on iPhone will look and sound much nicer than those on the G1.

Finally the iPhone has a dedicated floating point unit for doing floating point maths – this is a huge boost to 3D games which are very math intensive.

NDS is Nintendo DS.

I don’t think even computers have a decent one yet.

Do you mean an NES emulator? At the moment, there doesn’t seem to be one.
Your English is probably better than mine :)
