Maybe some kind of pet sim similar to nintendogs. Or a fish.. or aquarium! I don’t see myself playing a lot of games on the iphone but I’d like to look at something like that every once in a while.

the gaming ideas are limitless, the touch aspect makes it very fun to bowl, play baseball, suduko, etc.

Animal Crossing is my new favorite game..I'm not sure how well I'd like it on my phone though.

Oh dude - I hadn't thought of that. That would be unbelievably awesome.

Hehe, I'm imagining Duck Hunt on the iPhone!

Legend of Zelda would be cool...

personally i’d like to see the car game extended so as i turn the iphone on its axis (as a steering wheel) the main screen stays static in space… and maybe an extension of that treo game where you can shoot aliens seen overlayed on reallife scenes grabbed from a live camera feed…

Legend of Zelda! How would I swing my sword? Super Mario!

I wonder if online iPhone gaming would be plausible, perhaps with something similar to the multiplayer capabilities of the DS? That would definitely be enticing.

Don’t see why not. The wifi radio certainly seems to be available to 3rd part apps. Also local wifi connection to local devices for multiplay (again � la DS) would be good.

I doubt that the gaming experience would be rich on an iphone. Does it have the muscle power for gaming?

Apple says it does of course - the embedded OpenGL is a 'screamer on iPhone', it's all hardware accelerated etc, etc - and while the Mandy Rice-Davies criticism might apply to those claims ('they would, wouldn't they') the games demoed at the roadmap event were extremely impressive IMO. Take a look and see what you think:
