The iPodTouch is cool...

...because with the iPhone it builds a platform where indie developers can also sell smaller or more experimental rougher gaming ideas in a reasonable way. Some people tried to build a sketch physics game here but there it sells.

It really would be a killer feature if BlitzMax could build games for the iPodTouch/iPhone. This would be much more important than any other compareable platform.

What would be really cool is if Blitzmax had 3D support! I mean the essence of 3d has been around since before the iPhone I think....

Pure wishthinking but if i had the option i would favour BlitzMax supporting the iPodTouch first and then releasing Max3D (including iPodTouch then as well). In reality we're happy if anything will be released, right?!

Okay, the iPodTouch also has it's downsides but overall it's still a very nice device. The multitouch is a great and fresh input device and games are affordable. I mean what's really great about the gadget is, that it brings me back the joy of playing games i was used to play on the Amiga. Definately the best gaming hardware 2008 offered and there for sure is more to come.
