I know I can download apps from the phone device, but I like to browse and purchase software on iTunes on computer and sync to my iPod.

And I wonder why there is no pay apps in Hong Kong, all available apps are lite or free version.

edit:
I found my city didn't list in the support location ATM.

"Android and Windows phones are possible target platforms for an A8 mobile version, and we're indeed looking into this."

Awesome!! This would be great! I think both of these platforms together(The new windows7 phones are amazing) will be much bigger than the IPhone in the future. Hopefully this is out before the end of the year so we developers can get a leg up. It would be great if we could use A8 for mobile dev as well instead of moving to another engine.

Another thing, us developers who know how to do 3d games will have an advantage over many of the existing Iphone type devs. After all, everything is moving to 3d in the mobile market anyways(Ipad, windows7phone). And this engine would make developing games for the mobile market a breeze.

I think no matter no single platform (iPod/iPhone/iPad, Android, Windows Mobile) will dominate the market. So more platform support more opportunity to get more customer.

Conitec please consider iPxx as well.

In fact the Iphone and Itouch are the dominant devices where people buy games, music, videos by using itunes.
Others devices don't have such software and download/buy platform !
That the things that make Iphone so succesfull.
Unity team have understood that and have incorporated it.


Games for other phones have market, but dont' have the same selling power as itunes platform !
And on other devices, lot of times you will have to do 2D games or very simple 3D games.


Another way to develop is to use Java language, caus lot of them are Java compatible.
And for that you can find some good 3D engines already existing like for example Jmonkey Engine : jmonkeyengine

Actually after I got my iPod I spend much less time on Android (just for phone call).

I bought several games on iTunes some sometime on the device, and they sync every time I connect the device to my Vista! And I will get the bill from Apple no matter I purchase or got the free apps by email.

The system really excellent! I think only if the online market, device, software from a single vendor like Apple can achieve this.

nice because i Have android! ªª

I have android And its great..

Does iphone have FLASH? Android does, and it will support adobe AIR content! = games and more appls to come..

@MMike - does this answer your question? http://www.iphonefaq.org/archives/9730

anyway, if 3dgs did do a phone capable version, it should be in 2d only, because I have not seen a decent 3d phone game. if it was a 2d football game, you could make it look 3d through positioning of the camera, and have the player capable of running diagonally, etc.
3dgs-mobile would be a good idea, but it would have to compress the file down loads. and isn't Java used on phones often? couldn't 3dgs mobile use Java instead of lite-c because of Java's capability to work almost anywhere? if Java was used, 3dgs-mobile could be used on the iphone as well as andriod phones.
