OK, seriously did not expect Apple to do this Game Center stuff. sees they may be (perhaps reluctantly?) taking gaming seriously on the iPhone.

Still, that's a surprise and i'm happy it's there.

GOOD, maybe this will wake up Nintendo about making an online gaming community.

Not only that, but many people (Liu Kang here included) argued how folder would be a completely terrible idea to add to Iphone. It's funny that they added them now, as well as background image support :p

The seventh tentpole is iAd. Mobile advertising. They’re going to build advertising right into the iPhone OS 4.

Umm...late April Fools?

Huh.. If you notice in their Game Center pics, it shows "TouchFighter". That game has been in development since the 2.0 Event back in 2008. It was demoed there :lol

Not this quantity > quality shit again...

oy. rekindling the late 90s-current flamewars about the number of apps on countless PC-Mac threads.

lol @ mobile advertising being a new feature.

It's nice that iPhone caught up. Nothing too crazy here. Game Center has potential though, and hopefully it ripples and scares Sony and Nintendo into being more social (starting with 3G, bitches).

Many games already have them. It's called OpenFeint and I think it should just be built-in because not all games use it and some use another shittier clone of Feint. Just unify the fucking system. You wouldn't have games on your Xbox using a different kind of achievement system.

nice. Friend list unified is a huge thing. I hate to have different things on plus+, crystal, and all those shitty things.

Oh boy, ads.

"We have a lot of free or reasonably priced apps... we like that, but our devs have to find ways to make money. So our devs are putting ads into apps, and for lack of a better way to say it, we think most of this kind of advertising sucks." Ouch!

Sounds good... so far.

Looks like Apple got a bit scared of the Xbox Live announcement on WM7.

Given Microsoft's pathetic failure to implement Live even on its core Windows platform so far I don't think Apple have been shitting themselves too much over this.

It's actually a strategy to keep devs on the iPhone--Apple will pay devs to make free apps.

Will Steve kill my buzz with iAd?

"The average user spends over 30 minutes every day using apps on their phone. If we said we wanted to put an ad up every 3 minutes, that's 10 ads per device per day. That would be 1b ad opportunities per day."

How are they implementing these ads? I don't get it.

I downloaded an app for my iPod touch once, it was a painting program. The very next day it "pushed" an advertisement to me. Not an image ad. A text ad with an OK/CANCEL button. I deleted that shitty app that very minute. Fuck advertisements. Fuck them.
