The best thing about this, is it raises the bar for everybody else.

I got this last night... didn't go to sleep until 7am because it seriously blew my mind.
Not because it's the best graphics I've ever seen nor do I find it totally incredible; mainly because the iPhone basically one-upped even my Sony PSP in terms of graphics. That's how far these little handheld wonders have gotten.
I'm impressed and ultimately know we'll probably never see anything of this quality or level on the Nokia offerings. People are too busy (can't blame them honestly, I just finished a ton of ScummVM games last month) enjoying stuff like FreeCiv and games from 15+ years ago.
It's not a bad thing, retro gaming that is. I'd love to see stuff like this.

It's still possible, but Nokia needs to make some smarter moves in this new Arena.
I wish I could try it. I'll wait until my GF gets home, and then I'll log into her iTunes and 'sync' it.

You say you think so, I say "like hell". So let's bet a nickel.
In this case, if I'm wrong, I still win.

Not sure about who has bigger since everyone is kinda messing about with their numbers.

@cap'n: seriously? Any iOS above v1.x should have an app called 'App Store' in it. Although you'd probably need iOS 4.x to run the citadel demo. Just swipe to leftmost screen (spotlight) and seach for App...
If you can't find it, perhaps your girl is a hardcore gadget freak (albeit the iFreak kind) that messed up her iTouch and i think you should take the time to appreciate how lucky you are to have been able to find such soul mate.
@Laughing Man: yes, but bottom left/right are usually not reserved for the main attraction
i'm not saying it's perfect without compromise, but the tradeoff is surprisingly less than i expected (from my initial "WTF THUMBS ON SCREEN?!" moment).

So Hardware wise it should run on the n900
N900 didn't even reached the million mark to attract the developers.

I don't know. I say smaller than the WebOS crowd.

Basically, you should feel bad for not worshipping at the Altar of Jobs.
