I can't believe they chose that shade of green at random. Putting my foil hat on for a moment, I'd even go so far as to say they were deliberately messing with us. They must have known that the combination of the colour and prominent power button would lead people to think 360 port, and it probably gave the story a bit more of a spot light than a simple iPhone reveal.

You can buy great puzzle games which get padded and fluffed to a full release on the DS for 59p. If you just look at the big tilt games you are making the same sort of mistakes Sony did with the PSP - look at the more suitable titles for a handheld. On my phone I've got: MahJong tile matching game with a ton of options - < £2 Tile racing game - free Music game - free Puzzle Quest like puzzler - free Puzzle Pack - 15 well implemented puzzlers - £3 Risk clone - free Solitaire - £1 Poker - £2 Crosswords - £3 Jelly Car - free Tangrams - free Rogue (rpg) - free Stuff like the Crossword thing is fantastic because it's an endless supply of great crosswords. It links in to newspaper website and downloads the crossword and solution. An initial outlay of £3 and you get the Independent crosswords for life.

That said, I've spent more time with Field Runners than most PSP or DS games, and racing games are surprisingly competent on it. The App store is very smart though, and with most games costing less than 5 pounds, it's so tempting to just buy a quick game when you're bored. I'd be very surprised if this isn't going to be the future of gaming. It’s got its strengths and weaknesses, and it’s never gong to make either PSP or DS redundant due to it’s limited controls.

Bubble Breaker would probably work really well on it though.

It's basically a disaster for gaming. Imagine having no choice but to control your games with SixAxis motion 'controls' - it's THAT bad. Thankfully at least iPhone devs have yet to unleash the full horror of the 'walk along the tightrope' motion sensor mechanic so beloved of PS3 titles circa 06/07. I bought an iPod Touch.
