    Man you are so wrong, iOS devices are most popular gaming devices, they beat psp, they beat nintendo ds. etc. iOS have awesome games and so many games and all of them run perfectly smooth, most of them even with old iPhone 3gs. I have no idea why you even say ngage, c'mon :D Xperia play is nice, but again not many games. With iPhone you have HUGE collection of quality games and more coming every day, week and month.

    If we talking about gaming device physically, xperia play would be better, better touch because physical button, but no it's not enough.

      [deleted post]Probable what i understand from your comment is that you are just a kid who would like to play only games and nothing else. Theres way beyond gaming my friend. The life doesnt limits to gaming and if you talk about gaming then i think the old NOKIA NGAGE is far much better than yours i phones 3gs and the new SEM Xperia Play. You cant even get close to it.

        Anonymous, 07 Jun 2011Dude, he is right. "Ovi Store" just changed name ... moreI agree with you & also use a WP7 (HTC 7 Mozart) too. But mind it, Nokia still now use Apple's "Mac book pro" & "iMac" to make their products. ;-)

          I found interesting video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSh0FrqhKfw&feature=player_detailpage#t=57s wp7 mango shows html5 speed reader test provided by microsoft. IPhone performance was very bad, only 2fps/sec.

          Same test with iOS5 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzG1hlI9iXA 29-30fps perfectly smooth, even mango left behind with 25fps which is very good too.

          Nice job Apple? or bad job microsoft? to trying to make iPhone look bad.

            Bailey, 07 Jun 2011Now that Apple have borrowed ideas from Android, Rim and al... moreIt doesn't matter what Apple add to the iOS, they are in a market where now there is an App for everything. Anything new has been done before, and unless someone invents hardware that is truly innovative, then it will stay the same.

              AnonD-40, 07 Jun 2011You're wrong. Ovi Store launched worldwide on May 2009 h... moreDude, he is right. "Ovi Store" just changed name 2009, Nokias app store for Symbian used to be called "Download!" and is much older than Apples Appstore. Nokia invented apps download services, both the phone directly and through Nokias PC suite when Apple was just a fruit. Before the first iPhone came out Steve was using Nokia phones, you can see it every photo or interview of him before 2007. Where do you think he got the idea for a touchscreen widget bases OS? He got it from his favourite phone before the iPhone.

              http://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_7710-pictures-921.php

              Nokia invented touchscreen widgetbased technology and are the fathers of iOS blueprint.

              Or do you suggest Steve was just Window Mobile devices in public while working for Apple? Nokia and Windows Mobile where the only two high class smartphones makers before iPhone.

              Even LG sued Apple over stolen capacative screen technology in end of 2006. LG put it in the LG Prada before the first iPhone.

              You shouldn't give to much credit to someone who obviously copied and stole idead all the way to the top. Without Nokia, iPhone or specielly iOS would not even exist.

              I am HTC and Windows Phone fan, always will be. Nokia is not my cup of tea, but they did innovate like 98% of everything used in mobiles today. Give credit where credit is due instead of being a blind fanboy.

                  Apple is just ripping ideas from Google and independent devs who tweak iOS
                  Sheesh poor apple. What they need to do is to just hire those people and make more money out of them.

                      "you open by pulling from the top of the screen downwards"
                      Ah, so it is no good that Samsung copy the Apple look but it is OK for Apple to copy Android! Typically 2 faced attitude I think.

                        AnonD-1906, 07 Jun 2011Am not a nokia fan but ovi store was the first app store.You're wrong. Ovi Store launched worldwide on May 2009

                        http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ovi_(Nokia)#Ovi_Store

                        and the Apple Apps Store launched in July 10, 2008

                        http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/App_Store

                        The Apple Apps Store launched 10 months ahead of Ovi Store. Even the Android Market opened before the OVI Store. The Market opened in October 2008. That's 7 months ahead of the OVI Store.
