Why Apple Could Kill The Nintendo DS
With third-party apps for the iPhone and iPod Touch looming, games (for once) could become Apple's killer app.

BURLINGAME, CALIF - There's only one company on earth that has come back from behind to wrest a multibillion-dollar market away from Sony, beat back a grasping Microsoft and delight tens of millions of customers around the world in the process.

Sorry Apple fanboys, we're talking about Nintendo. The Nintendo Wii has turned the gaming world on its head, with motion-sensitive controls and family-friendly games. The Nintendo DS has had a good run, too, dominating the market for handheld gaming gizmos despite determined assaults by Sony and Nokia.

Monday, however, Nintendo will likely face a new and far more dangerous foe: Apple. Steve Jobs' computer and gizmo maker will likely launch a long-promised feature, dubbed the App Store, which will let outside developers pour software into the iPhone and iPod Touch. And while it's unlikely that, say, a mobile version of Oracle's wonky database will make anyone stand up and cheer, we already know putting games on the iPhone is a pretty powerful combination.

To be sure, the Nintendo DS won't be an easy kill. First released in 2004, Nintendo freshened the design of the aging system in 2006, with the release of the thinner, lighter DS Lite. Yet developers continue to toil away on ever more sophisticated games for the aging DS, with an ambitious adaptation of "Guitar Hero" in the works and a slick adaptation of the PC strategy series "Age of Empire" already on sale, thanks to the console's sophisticated dual-screen interface. Moreover, Apple has struggled to master gaming on the Mac, with a far wider array of titles available for machines running Microsoft Windows.

Nevertheless, Apple is the first to master a pair of tricks that have made Nintendo's latest products so compelling--a touch-screen interface and the ability to pick up on motion. The key difference: Unlike Nintendo, which has created a gaming console with a motion-sensitive controller and a touch-sensitive handheld gaming system, Apple has crammed both capabilities into its iPhone and iPod Touch.

The ability to pour fresh software into the iPhone, wirelessly, at the touch of a button already has game developers interested. When Apple detailed its software developers kit for the iPhone and iPod Touch earlier this year, one of the most impressive demos was Sega's version of "Super Monkey Ball" for the iPhone. Players will be able to maneuver a monkey through a three-dimensional landscape by tilting the iPhone.

The worst sign: Sophisticated games such as Electronic Arts' ambitious new god-game, "Spore," are already slated to be released for the iPhone at the same time it goes on sale for PCs, Macs and the Nintendo DS. Travis Boatman from EA showed off a project based on Spore that the videogame giant's developers cobbled together in two weeks that took advantage of iPhone's accelerometer and touch-screen interface to guide the evolution of a hungry microorganism.

Looks like the handheld gaming business, so long dominated by Nintendo, could be about to undergo a little evolution too.

Hi I'm a iphone user for a few months now and I luv my iphone to bits.

Few things to note about using iPhone in Malaysia:
- iPhone is not official in Malaysia. All iPhones in Malaysia is hacked, hence not sold officially.
- Its a software hack which you can download if you know where to find. Its a one button hack, so its not that difficult for an average joe with some IT knowledge.
- Current iPhone version is 1.1.4
- I'm on Maxis and I have no problem with it, even on Edge.
- iPhone 2.0 (3G version) has NO hack for it yet, so if you wanna buy, prepare to wait a bit before a hack solution appears.
- Singtel got iPhone, not too sure if iPhone will launch in Singapore come July 11th.

Things I like about iPhone :
- IPod!! Nuff said.
- SMS. The chat interface is really cool.
- Safari browser. This is really one cool browser and its functional too. Nothing comes close.
- Camera. Its not the best 2MP out there, but with good lighting conditions, the picture quality is quite good. No flash, so low light and night shooting is no no.
- The gorgeous 3.5" screen with Multi Touch.
- OS relatively stable, no crazy crashes like WM PDA Phones.
- The Calender/Appointment native app is simple and serviceable. With some custom apps, you can even sync it to google calender which is a bonus to me.
- The techie stuff like accelerometer, proximity sensor & light sensor makes iphone a joy to use.
- Its an iPOD!! Whoo Hoo!!

This that are lacking in the iPhone :
- No SMS forwarding!! No gonna be in 2.0 too LOL!! But there are custom apps that compensate this. Annoying nevertheless.
- No MMS. Don't really care, but some do.
- Bluetooth is ONLY for headset, no file transfer or anything.
- No file storage. You cannot drag and drop files into iPhone. The only workaround is e-mail attachments.
- Photos transfers to iPhone via iTunes, is resized to a fix resolution.

Overall, iPhone is an experience. The interface is a joy to use. The iTunes/iPhone integration is seamless. Frankly, if you were to break it into individual features, it has nothing to shout about, as a whole its one heck of a phone.

iPhone 2.0 comes in 2 flavors, USD 199 for the 8G version and USD299 the 16G version. These phones comes out July 11th in the US. You'll have to buy it with At&T package for that price. You cannot "hack" it yet as there aren't anyone one out there who can. Most likely you'll have to wait a few months before a stable hack is available.

For comparison, an iPhone is longer and wider than HTC touch.
